Itinerary ref: SEY-003

Overview

Mahé is the largest island and has the international airport, so you stay in one place the whole time.

In a few days you can walk in mountain forest, snorkel in a marine park and swim at beaches that range from lively to almost empty. Seychelles midrange often means a small hotel or guesthouse, which keeps the trip personal.
