The Ultimate 7 Day Seychelles Itinerary (Mahe And Praslin Guide)
One Week in Seychelles. Ultimate Seychelles Itinerary 7 Day
The Seychelles had long occupied the pinnacle of my bucket list, so when it was time to organise our honeymoon, we were certain it had to be the destination. We spent one week in Seychelles, dividing our time among Praslin, La Digue, Félicité, and relaxing on some of the most exquisite beaches around. It encompassed all our aspirations—turquoise waves, colossal granite rocks, and a seamlessly relaxed island atmosphere.
Numerous strategies exist for organising your week in the Seychelles. Should I return to the Seychelles, I would reside on a private island and engage in day excursions. Alternatively, if allocating one week, I would dedicate 3 days to Mahé and 4 days to Praslin, including a day excursion to La Digue. Given the constraint of 7 days, it is advisable to restrict your schedule to a maximum of 2 hotels and maintain straightforward logistics.
This book contains all the necessary information for arranging a 7-day trip in Seychelles. I am detailing our vacation, including activities we would repeat and various travel itinerary possibilities to assist you in determining the most suitable Seychelles experience. Whether you choose a traditional island-hopping expedition, a secluded island retreat, or a premier fishing excursion, you will discover an itinerary that aligns with your travel preferences.
For my honeymoon in the Seychelles, we organised an exceptional seven-day excursion encompassing both Praslin Island and the exclusive island of Félicité, in addition to a day trip to La Digue. It was the ideal combination of a well-known island and a secluded retreat! This is precisely what we accomplished!
