Here’s how can you do it:

1. Budget: Though Seychelles is an expensive destination but a growing number of affordable places to stay, particularly on Mahe, Praslin & La Digue helps to cut down on expenses for accommodation. All accommodation is registered by the Ministry of Tourism, ensuring a minimum standard or services and facilities.

Also for eating outlets there lies a host of cheaper options from shore-edge restaurants to stalls offering Creole staples such as grilled fish and chicken curry.

Commuting between the islands here in Seychelles can be a bit harsh on your pockets. There is an affordable ferry service between Mahe, Praslin and La Digue, the cargo boat preferably.

2. Planning: With a robust tourism infrastructure, Seychelles is safe and easy  as a good level of English is spoken. Outside the busy high season (Dec – Jan & June – Aug), it’s not necessary to book ahead instead you can make use of inter-island ferries and bus services to reach Seychelles.

3. Activities: A wide range of activities are available in Seychelles such as Snorkelling & Trekking. A full day excursion for Snorkelling from the bay of Beau Vallon in Mahe to Baie Ternay can be organised at $128, including a barbeque and snorkelling gear. Otherwise one can hire a snorkelling kit from one of the many dive centres and explore independently at $15 per day.

Trekking is available from $45 for a half-day guided walks in the jungle-clad hills of Mahe’s Morne Seychellois National Park, including lunch and transport.
