A beginner "wild" tourist can also organize an independent trip to the Seychelles. The main thing is to have a clear plan of action. Seychelles is attractive because you do not need a visa to enter the archipelago.
How to get to Seychelles
It is the flight that will become one of the largest expenditure items. Although you can get to the islands by cruise ship, but this route is very long and in itself is a separate journey, so the best way is by air.
You need to know that there are no direct flights connecting Russia and this island state. You will need to fly with a transfer. Most often it is the airport of the United Arab Emirates, but the stop can be in other countries. Everything will depend on the chosen route.
The price of a flight to the Seychelles starts at about six hundred dollars (this is the cost of a round-trip ticket per person). The end point of the trip is the airport of the city of Mahe.
Sometimes you can find a charter flight or get on discounts and promotions, which from time to time suit all airlines. If you do not tie your trip to a specific time, then you can save a lot on tickets.
Where can I stay
Vacation in the Seychelles involves rental housing. You can take care of this in advance by booking a hotel room, but you can start looking for a place to stay immediately after arrival. And, nevertheless, the search for a place to stay on vacation should be done in advance.
For beginners, it is best to stay on the main island - Mahe, as there is a huge selection of private real estate and hotels. Here you can find hotels of different levels of "star", as well as apartments, whole villas, guest houses, etc.
Ways to get around the islands
What you need to know here:
- There is a possibility of renting a car. The rental price per day starts from about forty euros, but this is the lowest level.
- You can use public transport. The cost of three trips will be approximately one euro.
- A taxi will be expensive, since the fee is charged for boarding, mileage, forced idle and loaded baggage.
- You can travel between the islands by ferry.
Useful Tips
The local currency is the Seychelles rupee. It is recommended to carry out exchange operations only in banks. Please note that many financial institutions in Seychelles are only open until lunchtime.
When booking a room, you can order yourself a full board - this is three meals a day - since the room rate includes only breakfast.
If housing will be rented in the private sector, then there may be several options. It will be possible to go to a cafe / restaurant, cook on your own, agree on cooking with the owner of the villa (if one is rented). Accommodation in an automatic apartment excludes the latter option.
