Bus services are available on two islands in the Seychelles archipelago, Mahe and Praslin. SPTC buses run from 5:30 to 19:00. Buses run every 15 minutes, so you won't have any problems moving around the islands. A bus ticket costs 3 to 5 SCR.

Dedicated minibuses run between Victoria and the international airport.

Taxi

Taxis in Seychelles are only available on the island of Mahé. The only parking lot is in the capital Victoria, behind the post office on Albert Street. Cars are parked here 24 hours a day, and you can take a cab at any time. All cars are equipped with meters, so you will not have to bargain with the driver. For the first kilometer, you will have to pay 15 SCR, for each next kilometer - 5 SCR. You will have to pay an additional 5 SCR for luggage.

Water transportation

The Seychelles are connected by a system of ferries that regularly transport passengers from one island to another. A trip on such a ferry will cost you 70 SCR. This is much cheaper than air travel. The ferry can be considered as a separate excursion through the straits between the islands.
