If you're heading to Seychelles with a group of fun-loving friends, boredom won't be on the agenda. Seychelles is a paradise for those who enjoy more than just sunbathing. Plus, if you rent bicycles, you'll have no obstacles left to conquer.
1. Learn to surf. Seychelles offers fantastic opportunities for surfing, windsurfing, kite surfing, and other water activities throughout the year. You just need to choose the right island for the season. For example, if you're interested in surfing, Praslin or La Digue are ideal from May to October, while Grand Anse on Mahe Island is best from November to April when you can experience the best waves and excellent winds.
2. Scuba diving. Seychelles is highly regarded by divers for its exceptional underwater experiences. The archipelago, with its several hundred islands, many of which are coral, offers excellent diving opportunities. You can find dive centers on Mahe, Praslin, and even on the protected island of La Digue.
3. Go fishing. Fishing on a boat in the Indian Ocean is an experience worth including in your trip itinerary. Here, you can not only enjoy the beauty of a morning cruise among the ocean waves but also the thrill of fishing. Plus, you might bring back a valuable catch to your hotel. It's advisable to make arrangements with locals, which can help you save money and ensure you find the best fishing spots. Seychelles is a place where both French and English are spoken.
4. Get to know the peculiarities of each island. While traveling around the archipelago, you can discover the unique features of each island. Witness a variety of bird species on Arid Island, locate the famous Coco de Mer nut on Praslin Island, stroll among five hundred giant land turtles on Curieuse Island, shop for souvenirs in the artisan village on Mahe Island, and meet Esmeralda, the one-hundred-and-fifty-year-old turtle on Bird Island. You can also bask in the breathtaking scenery of La Digue Island and embark on a treasure hunt on Muayen Island. With its stunning views, warm Indian Ocean waters, and luxurious beaches, Seychelles offers a truly wonderful vacation experience.
