Planning a trip to Seychelles
Pulled from the 2 routes below — so it says what these itineraries actually do, not what a brochure would.
When to go
Apr–May, Oct–Nov — the months these routes agree on.
How long you need
5–8 days. The shortest is Seychelles honeymoon in 5 days: Mahé, Praslin and La Digue; the longest is Seychelles in 8 days: Mahé, Praslin and La Digue.
What it costs
≈ AED 750 to ≈ AED 1,650 per person per day, depending on the route. Beds, food, getting around and things to do — costed line by line in each guide, not estimated from a daily rate.
Entry on an Indian passport
Travel authorisation online first, 3 months. An Electronic Border System authorisation, €10, single journey. Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with the embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.
Where these routes go: Mahé · Praslin · La Digue.

Best for: Granite boulders, two islands and a bicycle — the beaches that actually look like the photographs
Seychelles honeymoon in 5 days: Mahé, Praslin and La Digue
Mahé → Praslin → La Digue
Five days across two islands and a day trip to a third: Mahé's beaches and the ferry to Praslin for the Vallée de Mai, then La Digue by bicycle for Anse Source d'Argent. The ferry timetable is the itinerary here, and the islands are expensive in ways that are easy to design around.

Best for: Beaches + island-hopping
Seychelles in 8 days: Mahé, Praslin and La Digue
Mahé → Praslin → La Digue
The one country that lets everyone in without a visa: three islands by ferry, the beach every screensaver stole, a prehistoric palm forest and giant tortoises who own the road — with the self-catering tricks that make the Indian Ocean's priciest postcard surprisingly affordable.
