The Seychelles have implemented foreign exchange restrictions. All foreigners visiting the islands have to pay for services, such as restaurants, hotels and activities with foreign currency, local Seychelles Rupees are not accepted. Therefore it is advisable not to carry large amounts of local currency, since these may only be accepted in a few shops on the islands and cannot be changed into foreign currency. The main foreign currency on the islands is the Euro.

Be very careful with the sun: it can give you some nasty burns.
And more invisible: be very carefull with the waves and waters of some of the bays. The undercurrent catches you before you know it and is very, very strong although it might not seem that way.
