2. Island hopping
There are great opportunities for island-hopping
between the 16 islands that currently offer accommodation. These range from sumptuous 5-star resorts to rustic island lodges and cozy beachside bungalows. On your way, you will discover such gems as the legendary Valle de Mai, home to the legendary Coco-de-Mer. What sets Seychelles apart from so many other holiday destinations is its wide variety of islands -- each one with its own particular geography, character and history. Whether you choose a day excursion to one of the many Inner granitic islands, or an extended stay on one of our exotic island hideaways, Seychelles has something exceptional to offer.

 Experiencing more than one island during your stay is a

must and will add a dimension to your holiday experience that you will never forget.

Whatever your choice is, a regular network of air and

sea transport operating out of the principal island of Mah will cater for most itineraries. Ferry services, domestic flights and even helicopter transfers are also available on a daily basis to many of the islands.
