The perfect destination to experience a unique island-hopping voyage
You need a small craft with a comparatively shallow draft to best explore these waters where every next stop is a little further away from life’s beaten track than the last. So, a small ship is the ultimate way to really discover the unspoilt 115-strong archipelago of the Seychelles, hopping from island to island, visiting places which will captivate your senses with their amazing and unique flora and fauna. It’s a little taste of paradise.
Let’s be honest this is an entirely different sort of world where life is as fascinating and unusual below the water as it is above, and every secluded beach is a private paradise. The islands themselves, with curious names like ‘Curieuse’, pretty much protected from the world at large, are little lands that time forgot. If you’re looking to escape from the humdrum of the workaday world, or simply the dismal damp UK winter, this is the place to visit.
Ports of call: Mahe - St Anne - Curieuse - Cousin Island - Anse Lazio - Aride - St Pierre - Baie St Anne (Praslin) - Felicite - La Digue - Moyenne Island - Mahe
The Weather
The weather in the Seychelles is warm all year round with temperatures rarely going below 24c or above 32c. The hottest months are December to March, with April to October being cooler. There is more rainfall between November and February, though one never seems to have to wait too long for the sun to return.
