About Seychelles
The Seychelles is an Indian Ocean archipelago of 115 islands renowned for its fabled beaches, massive granite boulders, and unique biodiversity. Most travellers arrive on Mahé, the largest island home to the small capital city of Victoria and the mountain trails of Morne Seychellois National Park. From there, island-hopping leads to Praslin's Unesco-listed Vallée de Mai palm forest and the quiet streets of La Digue, where most people travel by bicycle. Ocean activities like diving and snorkelling are popular in its warm waters, especially during calm periods such as March–April when underwater visibility is at its best.
When to go
Seychelles is at its best in the calm months for granite beaches and island-hopping.
The optimum time to visit the Seychelles is during the transitional months of April, May, October, and November, when weather conditions are mild, seas are calm for diving, and there are fewer crowds. Year-round tropical temperatures range from 24°C to 32°C, split between a drier season from May to October and a wetter season from November to April. December and January see the highest levels of rainfall, though heavy showers are typically brief and followed by sunshine. To avoid high hotel prices and large crowds, travelers should plan around the peak periods of December to January and July to August.
