10 adventure things to do in Seychelles!

Air Seychelles flies daily to Seychelles and neighboring islands from Abu Dhabi.

Air Seychelles was established in 1978 and began long-haul operations in 1983. As the national airline of the Republic of Seychelles, Air Seychelles is a pillar of tourism, the island nation’s strongest and growing economic sector. Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates-based in Abu Dhabi, signed an agreement with the Government of the Republic of Seychelles in January 2012, acquiring a 40 percent stake in Air Seychelles.

Air Seychelles currently offers international flights to Abu Dhabi, Antananarivo, Beijing, Johannesburg, Mauritius, Mumbai, and Paris. In addition, the airline operates over 300 scheduled services between the islands of Mahé and Praslin, along with charter services to other islands in the archipelago, including Bird, Denis, Fregate, and D’Arros.

Where to Stay

There are different islands in Seychelles where you can stay, around 100 islands in the Indian Ocean off East Africa and the vast majority are completely uninhabited most three inhabited islands, Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue are nature reserves with large areas of land protected.

Mahe is the largest island and offers so much more than just a beach! Mahe is where almost all the activities are from rock climbing to zip lining, waterfalls, and jungles. Praslin, the second largest and famous for Anse Lazio Beach, is known for its calm turquoise water with small villages and La Digue is more of a relaxed, quite still vibe island.

Stay at Four Seasons Seychelles

Four Seasons Seychelles is one of the most luxurious properties in Mahe located on the SW coast and perfectly situated on a hillside. The drive to Four Seasons Seychelles is around 40 minutes from the airport. The property has 4 categories of guest rooms, 4 suites category, and 4 private residences.

We stayed in a 5 Bedroom Residence Villa, each occupying a room. The Villa has 2 infinity pools overlooking the Indian Ocean and a common living area. It is ideal for large family vacations or groups of friends traveling together and still receiving every kind of privacy needed.

We dined at the hotel’s restaurant Kannel one night which hosts a seafood buffet night where we picked whatever fish we would like fresh as if they were on a boat display, grilled with herbs and spices accompanied with white wine.

At Four Seasons Seychelles, the award-winning spa is one of the greatest I have been to, apart from the breathtaking view situated on a hilltop at almost the highest point, offering different tailored spa menus for your journey and hilltop meditation!

Go fishing and Island hopping

The beauty of Seychelles is that each island is different in its own way and you must experience them by boat hopping from one island to another. We went trolling early morning passing by a few other islands and stopped to snorkel. There are two ways of island hopping, by boat or seaplane. Make sure you carry with you strong sunblock!

Have a BBQ at Therese Island

After trolling, we landed on Therese Island and had a BBQ made by the locals from our catch. We snorkeled around the beautiful reefs and spent the whole day on the deserted island.

Snorkel in La Digue

They say every island is different in Seychelles and it’s true! Every island has a different geography and in some places, you see underwater sea life you wouldn’t see in others. Enjoy the full-day snorkeling with a marine biologist or during your boat trip! Seychelles is an island where you also see lots of sea turtles! So enjoy the full day!
