Seychelles
Located off the coast of east Africa, Seychelles is an archipelago made up of 115 coral and granite islands. It attracts thousands of tourists each year with its white sandy beaches, giant Aldabra tortoises, year-round warm weather, lush greenery, and romantic retreats.
When To Visit:
In general, there is no wrong time to visit; you can expect warm weather year-round. The average temperature is around 80°F with relatively consistent tropical afternoon showers. December through March are the rainiest months and attract smaller crowds. However, May through August is peak season when you can expect an influx of tourists and rising airfare and accommodation prices.
Getting Around:
Two ways to further explore Seychelles are by air and sea. Air Seychelles offers 30-minute flights between the islands of Mahé and Praslin. A more affordable option for those who don’t get sea-sick, is the the high-speed ferry from Mahe’s Victoria port to Praslin or La Digue.
Official Languages:
Seselwa, French, English
95% Seychellois speak Seychellois Creole (Seselwa) derived from French. French and English are both widely spoken.
