Seychelles Tour Packages

Seychelles tour package price guide (2026)

Seychelles packages on this page start at ₹23,999 per person. The island split and the accommodation type decide the price: a self-catering apartment or guesthouse on Mahé costs a fraction of a beachfront resort on Praslin, and every inter-island hop adds ferry or flight costs. Typical per-person prices on twin sharing, excluding flights, with airport and jetty transfers, inter-island ferries and the listed excursions:

Add for flights: Ahmedabad–Mahé return fares via Mumbai are usually ₹50,000–75,000 per person when booked 8–10 weeks ahead; routings via Dubai, Doha or Colombo are sometimes cheaper. Usually extra on the ground: meals beyond breakfast at resorts (a simple dinner for two costs ₹4,000–7,000 at a resort, far less at a takeaway or self-catering kitchen), the Vallée de Mai entry ticket, bicycle hire and the L'Union Estate entry on La Digue, snorkelling or diving trips, Curieuse island marine-park fee, the tourism environmental sustainability levy charged per person per night at accommodation, car hire if you want it on Mahé, and tips. Our quotes list all of these.

How to reach Seychelles from Ahmedabad – flights and entry

• Via Mumbai (recommended): fly Ahmedabad–Mumbai (about 1 h 15 min) and connect to the non-stop Mumbai–Mahé (SEZ) flight, which takes about 4 h 30 min to 5 hours. We book both legs on one ticket wherever possible so bags are checked through. Total journey from SVPI Airport is 8–10 hours including the connection.
• Via a Gulf hub or Colombo: Ahmedabad–Dubai / Doha / Abu Dhabi–Mahé (about 3 hours plus 4 h 30 min, plus the layover) works well for a Dubai + Seychelles combination, and Colombo is a third routing that pairs Seychelles with Sri Lanka.
• Entry for Indians – visa-free, but with a travel authorisation we arrange: Seychelles does not require a visa from any nationality, including Indians. However, every traveller must obtain a Seychelles Travel Authorisation online before departure (applied for within the days before travel, with a small fee), and show on arrival a passport valid for the stay, confirmed accommodation, a return ticket and sufficient funds. We complete the authorisation for you and send the approval to carry on your phone. Rules can change, so we confirm the current requirement for your date.
• Between the islands: Mahé to Praslin is about 1 hour by the Cat Cocos fast ferry (several sailings daily) or a 15-minute flight; Praslin to La Digue is a 15-minute ferry. The ferry is cheaper and perfectly comfortable except on windy afternoons in June–September, when we book morning sailings. Luggage goes with you; La Digue has almost no cars, so transfers there are by electric buggy or bicycle.
• Time and money: Seychelles is 1 h 30 min behind India. The Seychellois rupee (SCR) is the currency; euros are widely accepted by hotels and tour operators, and cards work almost everywhere except small takeaways and La Digue bicycle stands.

6 nights / 7 days – three islands (complete Seychelles)

Two nights on each island: Mahé for the mountain and Victoria, Praslin for Vallée de Mai and Anse Lazio, and two full nights on La Digue – which day-trippers never get – for sunrise at Anse Source d'Argent before anyone arrives, a cycle to Grand Anse and Petite Anse, and evenings in a village with no traffic. Fly home from Mahé via a morning ferry. This is the trip we recommend to couples celebrating an anniversary and to small family groups who want variety without long transfers.

Families and senior citizens

Seychelles beaches have no reef-protected lagoon on every coast, so for families with small children and for grandparents we choose Beau Vallon or Anse Royale on Mahé and Anse Volbert on Praslin – calm, shallow, with shade – and avoid Grand Anse on La Digue, where currents are strong. We book morning ferries, ground-floor rooms and self-catering villas with a kitchen so that dal-rice is always possible, and we skip La Digue's bicycles in favour of an electric buggy for anyone who prefers it.

Self-catering or resort? The honest Seychelles cost guide

Seychelles imports almost everything, there are no mass-market hotels, and a resort dinner costs what a resort dinner costs in Europe. Knowing this before you book is the difference between a wonderful trip and a shock. Here is how the two main accommodation styles compare and how our Ahmedabad clients keep costs sensible.

Five ways Gujarati travellers keep Seychelles affordable

1. Mix the two: self-catering on Mahé and La Digue, one resort stay on Praslin for the honeymoon photographs. This alone saves ₹40,000–60,000 per couple on a 6-night trip.
2. Take the ferry, not the plane, for Mahé–Praslin, and book morning sailings in the windy months.
3. Carry dry food: theplas, khakhra, ready-to-eat sabzi pouches, instant poha and upma, tea and masala. Customs permits packaged food for personal use. A kettle and a kitchenette turn these into dinners.
4. Shop in Victoria on day one: the supermarkets near the market stock rice, lentils, vegetables, bread, fruit, Indian spices and even some Indian brands, thanks to the island's long-standing Indian-origin community.
5. Use public buses on Mahé for short hops if you are adventurous – they are cheap and reach most beaches – or hire a small car for a day instead of three.

Honeymoon benefits

Resorts on Praslin and Mahé usually offer honeymooners décor, a cake or fruit basket, a romantic dinner or spa discount, and an upgrade when available, against a marriage certificate dated within six months. We attach it to the booking and confirm the inclusions in writing.

Best time to visit Seychelles – month by month

Seychelles lies outside the cyclone belt, so there is no season to avoid entirely – it is about choosing the right beach for the month, which we do when we place your hotels. For Gujarati families, the May vacation and the Diwali fortnight both land in the two calm windows, which is a lucky coincidence few destinations offer.

Places to visit in Seychelles

• Anse Source d'Argent, La Digue: pink sand, shallow turquoise water and giant granite boulders – the most photographed beach in the Indian Ocean; go at opening time.
• Anse Lazio, Praslin: a wide, golden crescent with takamaka trees and good swimming; the honeymoon beach.
• Vallée de Mai, Praslin: a UNESCO World Heritage palm forest where the coco de mer – the world's heaviest seed – grows wild; an easy 1–2-hour shaded walk.
• Beau Vallon, Mahé: the island's main beach – calm water, sunset, water sports, restaurants and the Wednesday evening food market.
• Victoria: one of the world's smallest capitals – the clock tower, the covered market, the Hindu temple and the botanical garden with its tortoises; two hours is enough.
• Morne Seychellois National Park, Mahé: the Mission Lodge viewpoint, tea plantation and short rainforest trails over the mountain road.
• Anse Intendance and Anse Royale, Mahé: a wild surf beach for photographs and a reef-protected bay for swimming, on the island's south.
• Curieuse island: giant Aldabra tortoises roaming free, mangrove boardwalks and a ruined leprosarium, on a boat day from Praslin.
• St Pierre islet and Coco island: the snorkelling stops off Praslin and La Digue with turtles and reef fish.
• Grand Anse and Petite Anse, La Digue: dramatic, empty beaches reached by a 20-minute cycle; swim with caution.
• Ste Anne marine park: glass-bottom boat and snorkelling day from Mahé with lunch on Moyenne island among tortoises.
• Silhouette and Bird islands: one-resort islands for travellers with time and budget – nature, nesting birds and complete quiet.

Food, hotels and tips for Gujarati travellers in Seychelles

• Vegetarian and Jain food – the honest picture: Creole cooking is fish-first, but every Creole restaurant has lentil curry (lentilles), breadfruit and jackfruit dishes, rice, papaya chutney and salads, and the islands' Indian-origin community means Victoria and Beau Vallon have Indian restaurants, including South Indian and vegetarian options. Resorts cook Indian vegetarian dishes on request and keep pasta and pizza on every menu. Jain food is the hard case: it depends on a self-catering kitchen, a resort briefed in advance, and your own dry food. We tell you island by island what to expect and confirm meal arrangements in writing.
• Grocery reality: Victoria's supermarkets stock rice, dal, atta, vegetables, fruit, bread and Indian spices; Praslin and La Digue have smaller shops with less choice, so buy on Mahé before the ferry.
• Hotel categories on this page: Standard means a licensed self-catering villa, apartment or guesthouse (Seychelles regulates these well, and most are spotless with sea views); Deluxe means a 4-star beach resort or boutique hotel; Premium means a 5-star resort or a villa with a private pool. We name the property in every quote.
• Pack: reef shoes (granite and coral underfoot), snorkel set if you own one (hire is expensive), reef-safe sunscreen, mosquito repellent for evenings, a light rain jacket in December–March and a windcheater for June–September ferries. Dress is relaxed; cover up away from the beach.
• Money: carry euros in cash for small purchases plus a card; change a little into Seychellois rupees for buses and takeaways. Indian cards work; UPI does not.
• Getting around Mahé: taxis are expensive by Indian standards; our packages include private transfers for every move, and a hired car for a day is the economical way to see Mahé's beaches independently.
• Sundays: Victoria is largely closed and ferry frequency drops; we schedule island transfers on weekdays where we can.
• Safety and health: Seychelles is very safe; swim only on beaches with calm water, heed the no-swim flags in the windy season, and drink bottled or filtered water.
