Beautiful Seychelles ...

FlyingPathans -
Our trip to Seychelles, While planning our trip from India to Johannesburg we came across a different option of layover than our usual middle-eastern airlines, Air Seychelles offers a multi-day layover in Seychelles while flying from Mumbai to Johannesburg( vice-versa) in the same cost as the normal connection , We booked it immediately because flying separately only for Seychelles is way more expensive.Before I dive into details of trip just a quick look into our trip.
We had only 3 days to spend in Seychelles so we decided to divide it:

Arrival in Mahe + Transfer to La Digue + half day exploring La Digue island

Booked Ferry Mahe La Digue on seychellesbookings ( 234 Euros for 2 adults), this ferry has a connection in Praslin where we had to move luggage from one ferry to other as those are two different operators.

Half day snorkeling trip to neighboring islands

This activity can be booked from Hotel or on the spot, so we did not book in advance ( also it highly depends on the weather and season of visiting)

Early morning transfer to Mahe + Full day at Mahe

Hired car from the airport for last day (50 Euros/Day) as Mahe is relatively big and we did not have enough time for public transport ( though public transport is very reliable and cheap). Would highly recommend Nelson Car Hire Shop.

DAY ONE:

We rented bicycles from the hotel reception BECAUSE its the primary mode of transport and it is FUN! ( SCR 100 per night for one bicycle). We left for island tour right away, cycled around, clicked loads of photos

DAY TWO:

Cycled to one of the most photographed beaches in the world “Anse Source d’argent”, I cant express the beauty in words, hope these pictures would do some justice.

Then watched beautiful sunset at beach Anse Severe

DAY THREE:

Early morning ferry dropped us to Mahe where we picked our rental car from the airport. Visited famous Beau Vallon beach in Mahe

Drove to the start of Copolia trail and hiked 90 minutes to see this fantastic view of Victoria city

Then after doing various activities and visiting stunning places we had to say hasta la vista to Beautiful Seychelles.
