Planning a week in Seychelles? Let us help you plan the perfect island escape.

Seychelles is the kind of destination that feels almost unreal, with turquoise water, granite boulders, lush jungles, and some of the world’s most beautiful beaches spread across multiple islands. While it may look small on a map, planning what to see, which islands to visit, and how long to spend on each can quickly become overwhelming.

That’s why we’ve put together a thoughtful seven-day itinerary that balances must-see highlights with slower moments to truly enjoy island life. From boat tours and hidden beaches to light hikes and relaxed evenings by the sea, this itinerary helps you experience the best of Seychelles without feeling rushed. Let’s map out your perfect week in paradise!

Itinerary Overview

The three main islands of Seychelles are Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue, and this itinerary is designed to help you experience all three without feeling rushed. We’ll be hopping around using ferries, which run regularly between islands, but it’s important to book them in advance so you can plan your days smoothly. 

Luckily, getting around Seychelles is fairly easy since each island is small. On Mahé, renting a car or hiring a driver or taxi is all you’ll need. Praslin is compact enough to get around by taxi, while La Digue is famously explored by bicycle, thanks to its relaxed, car-free vibe. To reach more remote islands and hidden beaches, we’ve also included some excellent guided tours. 

Here’s a quick rundown of what you can expect over the next seven days in Seychelles:

Day 1: Get oriented on Mahé with a private island tour covering Victoria’s highlights, Takamaka Rum Distillery, Le Jardin Du Roi Spice Garden, and scenic beaches, then unwind at Beau Vallon Beach and enjoy a beachfront dinner at The Boat House.

Day 2: Head out on a boat safari to St. Anne Marine National Park, snorkeling around Moyenne Island and relaxing on Cerf Island with a Creole BBQ lunch, followed by an upscale Italian dinner at La Perle Noire and a laid-back evening stroll along Beau Vallon.

Day 3: Choose between a hands-on sun-printing textile workshop or a guided hike through Mahé’s interior, then spend the afternoon beach-hopping in the island’s south before enjoying fresh seafood at La Gaulette or a relaxed dinner back in Beau Vallon.

Day 4: Take the ferry to Praslin and explore the prehistoric palm forest of Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, before settling in near Côte d’Or Beach for the night.

Day 5: Cruise by private boat to Curieuse Island and St. Pierre for giant tortoises and snorkeling, enjoy lunch at Café des Arts, then ferry to La Digue and ease into island life with a casual beachfront dinner at Lo Lan’s.

Day 6: Experience one of Seychelles’ top-rated adventures with a guided hike to secluded Anse Marron Beach, followed by sunset at Anse Severe and a relaxed final dinner at Natural Bar Grill & Drinks on La Digue.

Day 7: Return to Mahé for your international departure, or enjoy a final easy day on the island if your flight allows, wrapping up an unforgettable week in Seychelles.

Day 1

Morning – See Mahé’s highlights on a private tour

Trying to see Mahé on your own can feel a bit chaotic, especially on your first day. The island is small, but the highlights are spread out, and it’s hard to know which stops are actually worth your time. That’s where this private Mahé Island tour really shines. It takes the guesswork out of exploring and lets you see a lot in one smooth, well-paced day. 

We recommend booking the 9 or 10 am start time, which gives you a relaxed morning and still wraps up around 3 pm (give or take an hour or so). Hotel pickup is included, so you can enjoy breakfast at your hotel and head straight out. Because the tour is private and fully customizable, it’s especially ideal for first-time visitors who want a broad introduction without feeling rushed.

Over the day, you’ll cruise around the island with a local guide, stopping at Victoria’s historic sights, sampling rum at the Takamaka Rum Distillery, and wandering through the lush Le Jardin Du Roi Spice Garden. You’ll also have time to visit some of Mahé’s most beautiful beaches and waterfalls, with flexibility to linger where you want or keep things moving. 

As a first taste of Seychelles, this tour sets the tone perfectly and helps you get your bearings before diving deeper into island life. By the end of the day, you’ll have a much better sense of how the island fits together and where you might want to return on your own, making the rest of your trip feel easier, more relaxed, and far more rewarding.

Kick off your trip the easy way and book this island tour here!

Afternoon – Enjoy Beau Vallon Beach

After a full morning of sightseeing, Beau Vallon Beach is the perfect place to slow things down. This is Mahé’s most popular beach, and for good reason. If you’re staying in or near Beau Vallon, it’s incredibly convenient for an easy afternoon and evening without needing to hop back in the car.

The beach itself is wide and sandy with calm, clear water, making it great for swimming or simply stretching out on the sand. One thing that sets Beau Vallon apart is the variety of watersport options available. Many beaches in Seychelles don’t allow motorized activities, but here you’ll find things like jet skis and parasailing if you’re in the mood for something more active. If not, there are plenty of spots to grab a drink, rent a chair, or just relax and people-watch.

Plan to stay through the late afternoon and into the evening. Beau Vallon is one of the best sunset spots on the island, and the sky often puts on a show as the sun dips behind the water. It’s an easy, no-stress way to wrap up your first day in Seychelles and ease into island life before dinner nearby.

Dinner – The Boat House Restaurant

For dinner, head straight to The Boat House Restaurant, a popular, laid-back spot right on Beau Vallon Beach, so you don’t need to go back to your hotel to change or clean up. After sunset, simply wander over from the beach and settle in for dinner and drinks.

The Boat House is known for its casual atmosphere and beachfront setting, making it an easy choice for your first night in Seychelles. The menu focuses on fresh seafood and local flavors, and it’s a great place to unwind after a full day of exploring without committing to anything too formal. Grab a table, enjoy the ocean breeze, and let the day wind down naturally.

It’s a relaxed, no-fuss way to end your first day on Mahé, and staying in the Beau Vallon area keeps everything easy and walkable. After dinner, you can head back to your hotel for a good night’s rest or linger a bit longer by the beach before calling it a night.

Day 2

Mid-day – Visit St. Anne Marine National Park on a boat safari

If you’re ready to trade roads for turquoise water, this boat safari is a perfect day two experience. It’s a chance to see Seychelles from the water, explore smaller islands just offshore, and slow the pace after a busy first day on Mahé.

Departing from Victoria, the tour runs from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm and includes hotel pickup (as early as 8:45 am, depending on where you’re staying), making it an easy, well-organized way to explore some of the islands just off Mahé’s coast.

Once on board, you’ll cruise across clear waters toward St. Anne Marine National Park, a protected area made up of five small islands. One of the highlights is Moyenne Island, a lush nature reserve home to giant tortoises. Here, you can take a relaxed walk or short hike around the island, enjoying ocean views and learning about the island’s unique flora and fauna.

The tour also includes time on the water, with options to snorkel, feed fish from the boat, or simply sit back and enjoy the scenery if snorkeling isn’t your thing. Equipment is provided, so there’s no need to bring your own. Later, you’ll stop at Cerf Island for a laid-back Creole BBQ lunch, followed by time to swim, snorkel around the reef, or relax on the white-sand beach.

Between island walks, snorkeling, and a leisurely beachside lunch, the day feels full but never exhausting. It’s an easy, scenic way to see more of the islands beyond Mahé and pairs perfectly with a quieter evening back on land after returning in the mid-afternoon.

Spots fill fast—book here so you don’t miss out!

Dinner – La Perle Noire Restaurant

After returning from your boat safari in the mid-afternoon, take some time to relax at your hotel before heading out for the evening. For dinner, La Perle Noire Restaurant is a great choice if you’re in the mood for something a bit more refined. This well-regarded Italian restaurant offers a cozy, upscale setting and a welcome change of pace after a day spent on the water. The menu is known for fresh seafood dishes, homemade pastas, and classic Italian favorites, paired with a solid wine selection.

It’s closed on Sundays, and while walk-ins are sometimes possible, making a reservation is recommended, especially during busy travel periods. It’s an ideal spot for a sit-down meal, good wine, and a slower evening without feeling overly formal.

Evening – Enjoy a nightcap or walk on the beach

Mahé isn’t known for a big nightlife scene, but Beau Vallon offers a laid-back evening atmosphere that feels just right after a full day on the water. If you’re in the mood for a drink, you’ll find casual beachfront bars where you can enjoy a nightcap, sometimes with live music or a gentle buzz without anything feeling loud or crowded.

If you’d rather keep things low-key, an evening walk along Beau Vallon Beach is just as enjoyable. The shoreline stays lively but relaxed, with warm air, soft waves, and the occasional street food stall or beach bar glowing in the distance. There’s no set plan needed here—whether you stop for a drink, listen to music, or simply stroll barefoot along the sand, it’s an easy, flexible way to wind down and enjoy island life at your own pace.

Day 3

Morning option 1 – Learn traditional Seychelles art

If you’re craving a slower morning that goes beyond beaches and viewpoints, this sun-printing textile workshop offers a creative and meaningful way to experience Seychelles. It’s the kind of experience that lets you slow down, get your hands dirty (in the best way), and connect with local traditions in a more personal way. Running from 10 am to 1 pm, it fits easily into your day without the need for an early start.

This small-group experience introduces you to one of Seychelles’ most traditional art forms. Using native plants and natural materials, you’ll learn how locals have used the power of the tropical sun for generations to create colorful printed fabrics. With step-by-step guidance, you’ll design your own piece during the workshop and leave with a handmade textile to take home—a souvenir that actually has a story behind it!

The setting makes the experience even better, with ocean views that keep things relaxed and inspiring throughout the morning. All supplies are included, and you’ll be treated to local snacks and fresh coconut or organic juices, so it feels more like a casual creative session than a formal class.

This is an ideal option if you’re interested in the culture and art side of Seychelles, or just want to try something different from beach-hopping. Once you see how welcoming the hosts are, and how fun it is to create something yourself, it’s easy to understand why this tour consistently earns five-star reviews!

Lock in your spot for this hands-on art experience here!

Morning option 2 – Go hiking with a local guide

If you’d rather start day three with fresh air, movement, and big views, this guided hike through Mahé’s interior is a fantastic alternative to a slower morning. It’s especially well-suited for active travelers who want to see a different side of Seychelles beyond the beaches. 

Hotel pickup is included, and you can choose a start time between 8 and 9 am, with the hike wrapping up by 1 pm at the latest, leaving you plenty of time for a relaxed afternoon.

What makes this experience stand out is the flexibility. You can choose from four different trails, depending on your fitness level and what kind of scenery you’re after. Options range from the easy Anse Major Trail, which ends at a beautiful beach, to more challenging hikes like Morne Blanc, the second-highest mountain on Mahé. Popular routes such as Copolia and Trois Frères reward you with sweeping viewpoints over Victoria, Eden Island, St. Anne Marine Park, and, on clear days, even Praslin and La Digue on the horizon.

Hiking with a local guide not only takes the stress out of navigation but also adds depth to the experience. Along the way, you’ll learn about the island’s flora and fauna, with chances to spot endemic species like Seychelles frogs or snails, depending on the trail and season.

This is a great pick if you enjoy being outdoors, want a solid workout, and love earning your views. It’s a refreshing, rewarding way to experience Mahé’s wilder side!

For an active start to your day, book this guided hike here!

Afternoon – Relax on the beach

After your morning activity, spend the afternoon doing what Seychelles does best—beach time. Some of Mahé’s most beautiful beaches are about a one-hour drive south, so this is a good day to either rent a car or hire a driver and explore at your own pace. The beaches in this area are fairly close together, which makes it easy to visit one or two without feeling rushed.

Here are a few great options to choose from, depending on the kind of beach experience you’re after:

• Anse Intendance – Often considered one of Mahé’s most dramatic beaches, Anse Intendance is known for its long stretch of sand and powerful waves. The water is usually too rough for swimming, but the scenery alone makes it well worth the stop.

• Petite Anse – This beautiful beach sits below the Four Seasons Resort, but you don’t need to be a guest to visit. It’s a popular choice thanks to its soft sand, calm setting, and clear water, making it a great place to relax for a few hours.

• Anse Royale – A more local-feeling beach with rugged rocks and striking blue water. It’s a nice mix of laid-back and scenic, with space to spread out and enjoy the coastline.

• Anse Takamaka Beach – Located close to Anse Royale, this beach is easy to pair with it for the afternoon. It’s quieter and perfect for a slower, low-key end to the day.

Dinner – La Gaulette Restaurant

If you’re wrapping up your beach time in the south of Mahé, La Gaulette Restaurant is a great option for dinner without having to drive far. Located conveniently close to many of the southern beaches, it’s a top-rated local spot known for its fresh seafood and relaxed, authentic atmosphere—perfect after a laid-back afternoon by the water.

The menu focuses on seafood-driven dishes with local flavors, making it a nice way to end the day on a more traditional note. Just keep in mind that La Gaulette is closed on Mondays, and reservations are recommended, especially if you’re visiting during peak season.

If you’d rather not be out driving too late, another easy option is to head back to Victoria or Beau Vallon for dinner instead, where you’ll find plenty of restaurants and a familiar evening atmosphere. Either way, today ends on a relaxed note, giving you time to recharge before the next leg of your Seychelles adventure.

Where to Stay in Mahe

Mahé makes the best base for the first part of your trip, so we recommend booking your accommodation here for Days 0–4 before moving on to Praslin, which gives you easy access to the airport, guided tours, beaches, and restaurants, without constantly changing hotels. Beau Vallon is an especially convenient area thanks to its beach, dining options, and central location, while the west coast is ideal if you’re after something quieter and more scenic. Here are three solid options to suit different budgets:

Luxury – $$$

Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa is an upscale resort that sits on the coast near Beau Vallon and offers stunning Indian Ocean views from private villas and lush tropical surroundings. Nightly rates here typically range from around $520–$1,000+ USD per night, depending on room type and season, with oceanfront options on the higher end. Book your stay in advance here!

Mid-range – $$

Located in Beau Vallon, Tropical Hideaway is a comfortable boutique-style property within a short walk of the beach. It offers apartment-style accommodations with kitchenettes and private outdoor space. Nightly rates typically cost $250 USD per night, offering a nice balance of space, location, and value without the resort price tag. Check dates and reserve a room here!

Budget – $

For a more affordable stay, Hilltop Boutique Hotel in Victoria offers clean, comfortable rooms with sea views and a quiet hillside setting. It’s a practical base if you plan to spend most of your time out exploring Mahé, while still being close to restaurants, shops, and main attractions. Nightly rates typically start around $130 USD, making it a solid value-friendly option without sacrificing comfort. Book your stay here!

Day 4

Morning – Take the ferry to Praslin

Start today by hopping on the Cat Coco high-speed ferry from Victoria to Praslin. The crossing takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes, making it a quick and easy way to move between islands. Ferry schedules vary by day, so it’s best to book in advance and aim for the earliest departure possible to maximize your time on Praslin. Tickets typically cost around $60 USD, and it’s easiest to book directly through the ferry company here.

Once you arrive, getting around Praslin is refreshingly simple. The island is small, distances are short, and travel times are quick, so even if you end up on a later ferry, you’ll still have plenty of time to explore. Whether you grab a taxi or arrange transport through your hotel, the transition from ferry to sightseeing is smooth, setting you up nicely for an easy, low-stress day on Praslin.

Afternoon – Vallée de Mai

Spend your afternoon on Praslin exploring Vallée de Mai, one of Seychelles’ most important natural sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Often described as a prehistoric palm forest, this protected area is home to rare, endemic plant species that have existed largely unchanged for millions of years. The most famous of these is the coco de mer palm, known for producing the largest seed in the world and found naturally only on Praslin and nearby Curieuse Island.

Walking through Vallée de Mai feels like stepping back in time. Shaded trails wind through dense palm groves, where you’ll likely spot unique birdlife, including the Seychelles black parrot, as well as towering palms and ancient vegetation. The well-marked paths make it easy to explore at your own pace, and there are several loop options depending on how much time and energy you have.

Plan to spend around two hours here, which gives you enough time to enjoy the trails, take photos, and learn about the forest’s ecological and cultural significance without feeling rushed. Tickets can be purchased upon arrival for 410 SCR (about $30 USD). Vallée de Mai is a calm, immersive introduction to Praslin’s natural beauty and a must-visit stop that adds depth to your island experience beyond the beaches.

Where to Stay in Praslin

You’ll only be spending one night on Praslin before heading to La Digue, so it makes sense to stay somewhere convenient rather than hopping around the island. We recommend booking accommodation near Côte d’Or Beach, which puts you close to restaurants, the beach, and an easy pickup point for tomorrow’s boat tour. Here are three great options depending on your budget:

Luxury – $$$

Located directly on Côte d’Or Beach, Paradise Sun Hotel Seychelles is a relaxed beachfront resort with tropical gardens and easy access to the sand. It’s a great choice if you want to make the most of your short stay on Praslin with a scenic setting and resort-style comfort. Nightly rates typically range from around $400 to $1,000+ USD, depending on season and room type. Check availability here!

Mid-range – $$

Village du Pecheur is a charming boutique hotel right along Côte d’Or, offering comfortable rooms in a prime location near restaurants and the beach. It’s ideal if you want something central and atmospheric without paying full resort prices. Nightly rates usually fall around $230–$480 USD per night, depending on your selections. Reserve your stay in advance here!

Budget – $

For a more affordable stay, Acquario Guesthouse offers simple, clean accommodations just a short walk from Côte d’Or Beach. It’s a practical option for a one-night stay if you plan to spend most of your time exploring rather than at the hotel. Nightly rates typically start around $120–$160 USD, making it a solid value choice on Praslin. Book a room here!

Day 5

Morning – Visit Curieuse and St. Pierre Island

If you want to experience some of the best islands around Praslin without spending hours planning, this private boat tour makes it effortless. 

Departing at 9:30 am, the tour runs until about 1:30 pm and is a smooth, well-paced way to see Curieuse Island and St. Pierre in just one morning. Hotel pickup is available, or you can take a quick taxi to the meeting point, which is only a 6-minute drive from Côte d’Or Beach.

Because it’s a private tour, the experience feels relaxed and flexible from the start. You’ll cruise across clear water with drinks and snacks provided, so there’s no need to bring anything with you. One of the main stops is Curieuse Island, known for its striking red earth, coastal scenery, and giant tortoises roaming freely across the island. You’ll have time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the unique landscape before heading back out on the water.

The tour also includes a stop near St. Pierre, a small rocky island surrounded by vibrant coral reefs. Snorkeling gear is included, making it easy to jump in and explore the underwater world, whether you’re an experienced snorkeler or just giving it a try.

Travelers rave about this tour in five-star reviews, calling it effortless and memorable, especially for the private setup and generous inclusions. It’s a stress-free way to see some of Seychelles’ most iconic islands in just a few unforgettable hours.

Secure your spot on this private Curieuse and St. Pierre tour here!

Lunch – Cafe des Arts

If you have some time before your ferry to La Digue, Café des Arts is a perfect spot for a relaxed lunch. Located right along Côte d’Or Beach, it’s an easy stop after your morning boat tour and keeps the pace of the day feeling calm and unhurried.

This beachfront restaurant is known for its laid-back atmosphere and menu that leans toward fresh seafood and light, flavorful dishes, making it a great choice after a few hours out on the water. Grab a table with a view, enjoy the ocean breeze, and take your time refueling before your next island hop.

Afternoon – Ferry to La Digue

In the afternoon, it’s time to take the ferry to La Digue, one of the most charming islands in Seychelles. The ferry ride from Praslin takes only about 15 minutes and costs roughly $12 USD, making this one of the quickest and easiest island transfers of the trip. Ferry times vary by day, so be sure to check the schedule in advance. If you find yourself with extra time before departure, it’s easy to fill it with a stroll along the beach or a quick browse through local shops near the port.

Once you arrive on La Digue, getting around couldn’t be simpler. The island is tiny, and you can either walk or grab a short taxi ride to your hotel. La Digue is famous for its relaxed pace and car-free feel, and the most popular way to explore is by bicycle. Bike rentals are widely available near the ferry terminal and around the island, making it easy to spend the rest of the afternoon cruising between beaches, viewpoints, and quiet coastal roads.

The transition from Praslin to La Digue is quick and smooth, and you’ll immediately notice the slower, more laid-back atmosphere—a perfect setup for the final stretch of your Seychelles adventure.

Dinner – Lo Lan’s Beach Bar

After arriving on La Digue, spend the rest of the evening easing into the island’s famously relaxed pace. Get checked into your hotel, then head out for dinner at Lo Lan’s Beach Bar, a casual, beachfront spot that’s perfect for your first night here.

Lo Lan’s is known for its laid-back atmosphere, simple island-style dishes, and toes-in-the-sand setting. It’s an easy place to grab dinner without overthinking plans after a travel day, whether you’re in the mood for fresh seafood, grilled favorites, or a cold drink to wind down.

Reservations usually aren’t necessary, especially if you arrive earlier in the evening, which makes this a stress-free option after your ferry crossing. Come as you are, enjoy the ocean breeze, and let the slower rhythm of La Digue sink in. It’s the perfect low-key welcome to the island!

Day 6

Full-day – Hike and relax at Anse Marron Beach

La Digue is small, remote, and a bit trickier to navigate on your own, which is exactly why a guided tour like this is so helpful. This small-group excursion to Anse Marron takes you far beyond the island’s most crowded beaches and into one of the most secluded, beautiful spots in Seychelles. It’s also one of the highest-rated tours in the entire country, and once you experience it, it’s easy to see why.

Hotel pickup isn’t included, so you’ll meet your guide at 8:30 am just south of Anse Réunion, then transfer to Grand Anse, where the hike begins. The walk itself is part of the adventure, winding through forested terrain while your guide shares insight into La Digue’s flora and fauna. The hike does involve some uneven ground and light scrambling, but it’s manageable for most travelers and well worth the effort.

The reward is Anse Marron, a pristine white-sand beach framed by dramatic granite boulders and protected natural pools. You’ll have around 1–1.5 hours here to swim, relax, and enjoy a complimentary light lunch, with time tailored to the tide conditions. The experience then continues on to Anse Source d’Argent, the most famous and photographed beach in Seychelles, where you can spend additional time exploring or relaxing.

The day wraps up around 3:30 pm, leaving you with the rest of the afternoon to unwind. For travelers who want to see La Digue’s most spectacular beaches without the crowds, this tour is highly rated as an absolute standout!

This hike sells out fast—book early here to secure your place!

Evening – See sunset at Anse Severe

After a full day of hiking and beach time, take a short break at your hotel before heading out to Anse Severe for sunset. Located on the northern end of La Digue, this is widely considered the best sunset spot on the island, and it’s easy to reach by bike or on foot, depending on where you’re staying.

Plan to arrive just before sunset, which typically falls between 6 and 6:30 pm year-round. The beach has a relaxed, open feel with shallow water and smooth sand, making it a great place to unwind as the sky changes color. Grab a spot along the shoreline, dip your feet in the water, or simply sit back and enjoy the view as the sun falls below the horizon.

Anse Severe is especially nice in the evening because it never feels overly crowded, even during busy travel periods. It’s a calm, unstructured moment that pairs perfectly with the day’s adventure and sets a peaceful tone for the rest of your evening on La Digue.

Dinner – Natural Bar Grill & Drinks

After sunset at Anse Severe, hop back on your bike and head to Natural Bar Grill & Drinks, an easy and short ride from the beach. This casual spot is a great choice for dinner after a long but rewarding day, especially if you’re looking for something relaxed and unfussy.

The menu focuses on grilled favorites and fresh seafood, paired with cold drinks and an easygoing island atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can show up as you are, settle in, and enjoy a satisfying meal without needing to plan too far ahead.

Reservations usually aren’t necessary, particularly if you arrive earlier in the evening, which makes this a convenient option after sunset. It’s the perfect low-key ending to your last full day in Seychelles, soaking in the island’s easygoing rhythm one last time before tomorrow’s travels. 

Where to Stay in La Digue

La Digue is the smallest island on the itinerary, and that’s part of its charm. There’s really just one main area to stay, which makes choosing accommodation simple and keeps everything within easy biking or walking distance. Since you’ll be exploring the island at a slower pace, location matters less here than atmosphere. Here are our top three choices:

Luxury – $$$

Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie Resort and Spa is La Digue’s top luxury stay, set in a lush hillside location near Anse Severe. It offers elegant villas, a tranquil spa, and beautiful surroundings that feel worlds away from everyday life. Nightly rates typically range from around $580–$1,200+ USD per night, depending on season and villa type. Check availability and book this stay here!

Mid-range – $$

Hotel Chateau St Cloud is a charming, well-established hotel with a peaceful garden setting slightly inland. It’s a great balance of comfort and value, with easy access to beaches by bike and a relaxed, welcoming feel. Nightly rates usually fall around $150–$350 USD per night. Book your stay here!

Budget – $

For a more affordable stay, Chez Marston offers simple, clean accommodations in a quiet location close to the island’s main paths. It’s a practical choice if you plan to spend most of your time exploring rather than at the hotel. Nightly rates typically start around $140 USD per night, making it a solid budget-friendly option on La Digue. See what’s available here!

Day 7

Return to Mahe

For your final day in Seychelles, make your way back to Mahé, home to the international airport. The ferry crossing from La Digue (via Praslin) takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes total, with fares typically around $70 USD, depending on schedules and availability.

If your flight departs today, it’s worth considering traveling back to Mahé the night before to avoid any stress. However, if your flight is later in the day and ferry times line up well, returning this morning is also perfectly doable. Be sure to give yourself plenty of buffer time, especially during busy travel periods.

If your flight isn’t until the following day, you can use today to relax on Mahé—whether that means enjoying a final beach visit, revisiting a favorite restaurant, or simply unwinding at your hotel before heading home.

Either way, this last day is all about keeping things simple and smooth, wrapping up your Seychelles adventure at an easy pace after an unforgettable week exploring the islands.
