Seychelles vacation: tips

Useful tips for those who are going to travel to Seychelles.

1. If you dream of bringing home the famous Coco-de-Mer nut, don't be lazy to stop by the Seychelles Environment Department and apply for an export permit. Otherwise, your nut will not leave Seychelles.

2. Hotels in Seychelles are of very high quality. And the corresponding cost. Therefore, if you are determined to save money on accommodation, choose the so-called self-catering apartments. For 500 SCR per day you will get a bungalow or a house on the beach with all amenities and kitchen.

3. You should never swim barefoot in the Seychelles. Beach slippers will save you from cutting yourself on coral fragments, which are often found in the coastal strip.

4. Get an adapter for your equipment, because most sockets in Seychelles are designed for plugs with three flat contacts. And the voltage in the network is 240 V, against our usual 220.

5. The fauna and flora of Seychelles should be treated with utmost care, as the locals devote a lot of effort to preserving their unique nature.

6. You can find fruit right in the forest, if you venture off the trail. You can eat them safely, except that you should wash them beforehand.

7. It is necessary to take repellent to Seychelles, otherwise mosquitoes will not let you rest.

8. When walking in the forest, watch carefully for things that fall on you and crawl on you. There are poisonous spiders in the Seychelles.

9. It is better to negotiate about sea fishing with locals. You will be shown places with good bite without any problems, and you will have to spend money only for gasoline and a share in the common meal. Whereas in a hotel or a specialized company you will be charged up to 1000 EUR for fishing.

10. Small take-away restaurants will allow you to save a lot on food without losing the quality and variety of dishes.
