Seychelles 11 to 14 Days: Slow Island-Hopping and Nature

Best for: travelers who want to unpack once per island and spend their days on nature, not transfers.

Itinerary ref: SEY-006

Overview

The same three islands as the shorter trips, but with more nights on Praslin and La Digue, so each day can be a walk, a snorkel or a quiet beach, not a move.

This is the better choice if you like hiking, birdwatching and long afternoons by the water.

Good to know: To extend to 13 or 14 days, add nights on La Digue or Praslin for more snorkeling and walks, not more sightseeing.
