Things to do whilst on holiday
Mahé Island is home to an abundance of professional artists and their private galleries and studios. Through observing the work of local artists, see how the Seychellois people navigate their sense of history and their current lives through works of fine art. There truly is a vast amount of galleries and studios to visit so make sure you have a wander. Why not support local artists with a purchase to immortalise your own journey to this paradise in the Indian Ocean.
The beaches here are utterly captivating, with cerulean seas and white sands. Here you’ll be able to partake in a little surfing and be able to choose from a range of water sports, while the snorkeling spots will envelop you in the beautiful marine life around the various reefs.
To see as much as possible why not go on a island hopping excursion to the inner granitic islands. There is a constant flow of sea and air transport from the main island of Mahé.
The many trails peppering the islands will provide either a leisurely hike or a more challenging trek. But you can be certain that every walk will open up spectacular panoramic views!
The Seychelles has so much for the curious traveller. There are casinos, dive operators, boat hire companies, fishing operators, horse riding and golf courses to enjoy. With an itinerary like this, your holiday will be an unforgettable experience!
