Frequently Asked Questions
At the commercial port of Victoria, the capital, about 1.5 to 2 km from the town centre. It is walkable in roughly twenty minutes, but the surroundings are industrial, so most passengers take the ship's shuttle or a taxi.
The 1903 clock tower, the meeting point everyone in town refers to, the cathedral, the British-era administrative buildings and above all the covered market: morning fish, chillies, vanilla, cinnamon and tropical fruit. Upstairs, craftspeople sell pareos and coconut work.
Beau Vallon, about fifteen minutes by road over the pass. A curve of pale sand, calm water, takamaka trees along the edge. Taxis will run you there and wait, and several excursions build a half-day around it.
Victoria market and the botanical garden in the morning, then Beau Vallon or a Sainte Anne Marine Park boat trip in the afternoon. Adding a full island tour on top means spending the day in a vehicle.
The coco de mer palm with its outsized nuts, emblem of the Seychelles, giant tortoises, spice trees and orchids, all under welcome shade. Allow about an hour; it is fifteen minutes' walk from the centre.
Yes, in the Sainte Anne Marine National Park, six islands visible from the ship's deck on arrival. Glass-bottom boat and snorkelling trips reach the coral and reef fish, and some include the giant tortoises of Moyenne Island.
Creole cooking built on African, Indian, Chinese and European roots: fish grilled over wood, coconut-milk curries, green fruit chutneys and juices pressed to order. The small restaurants downtown and the stalls near the market are the most honest options.
Yes. Beau Vallon is a patrolled beach with calm water, the botanical garden wins children over with its tortoises, and glass-bottom boat trips remove the need to swim. Distances stay short.
The Seychellois rupee. Cards work in hotels and restaurants, less so with market craftspeople, so keep some cash. Seychellois Creole, English and French are all spoken.
April to May and October to November, between the monsoons: calmer seas and moderate wind. December to March is wetter; June to September brings the southeast trade wind onto the windward coast.
