Seychelles is an archipelago of one hundred and fifteen islands, spread across 1,400,000 sq km of the Indian Ocean, off East Africa. Every visitor should visit as many islands as possible during their stay, to explore its tropical paradise and marine life.
Day trips and excursions are provided throughout the day, allowing tourists to visit the 41 ‘inner’ granitic islands that form the foundation of the Seychelles. Mahé, a hub for visiting the other islands, is home to capital Victoria and accommodates around 25,000 inhabitants.
