 Boarding the ferry in Praslin by iwys
If you are interested in birdwatching, take a pair of binoculars, because you will see a lot of seabirds, including flocks of Fairy Terns and Sooty Terns.
The ferry sails from the main jetty on Praslin and docks at the jetty at Baie St Anne on La Digue. It sails five times daily and a return ticket costs about US$7. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/BoatPhone: (248) 232 329

Expect to pay a high price for having your own set of wheels though.
We rented a jeep for one day and it was $75 ++
That was on Praslin. We rented a car on Mahe and got it at a much better price.
It was an older model car but who cares. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Arriving to the beach, too by Saagar
You will get a visa on arrival (papers to be filled in during the flight, no photos), provided you have a hotel/guest house booking or some other defendable option for staying overnight and the money needed for the days you plan to spend here. Pre-booking and paying from home is therefore making your life much easier when you arrive at the airport here.
If you do not have a booking, but have the means to survive, you'll be asked to book at the hotel booking counter right there.
You get to stay for as long as you have a booking only, unless on some other fool-proof arrangement.
Next counter is optional, but useful, the state bank. I tried to change here but for some reason they refused to change more than 100 USD. But, no problem, there will be chances later to stack up on rupees.
Next, unless you are diverted into the duty-free-on-arrival shop, is customs, a trouble spot mainly for locals returning with huge bags of consumer goods. Outside you'll meet the decent world of travel agents perhaps waving a plackard with your name, and taxi drivers looking for customers. Taxi fares are fairly well fixed, and big cheats are rare.

 Bye, bye! by Saagar
The airport on Mahe is very orderly and easy. Check-in is a bit on the original side, as it is outside.
Passport control and security check aren't good places to break out in a sweat, but after the steaming check-in outside you have no option... Inside, though, there is air condition.
Your last postcards can be dropped in the departure hall.
Your last purchases can be done in the duty-free shop which has a mix of Seychelles' various crafts plus some of the traditional international brands. You can get some of the Kreolor goods here, too (see shopping tip), and the local perfume.
After your last steps on Mahe's soil (well, tarmac...) you can sit back in your seat and ask yourself if your house key for the front door back home is with you? Back to normal worries, already... Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

You can tour Mahe by renting a car. You can use the local busses for visiting Victoria, unless your hotel is in southern Mahe. We flew from Mahe to Praslin. It only takes a few minutes and I was impressed about the professional way, in which this transfer was handled. You can also get to Praslin with a high-speed catamaran. We toured Praslin with bikes...and loved it. The island is very mountainuous and us being finns used to biking and outdoor life...it wasn't a problem for us. You really can appreciate the beauty of Praslin when biking. I wouldn't recommend biking for out-of-shape people or to those not accustomed to biking. You can visit La Digue from Praslin with a ferry...and see whalesharks on the way if you time your visit right (July-August). La Digue can be toured with a bike or even by walking. On Praslin, take a boat trip to nearby Courieuse island (full of wild giant tortoises) and Cousine island (full of rare birds and some giant tortoises). Consider also visiting St. Pierre islet off the eastern coast of Praslin...boats for this purpose can, for example, be rented with crew from Cote DÓr beach. Snorkeling near St. Pierre is like snorkeling in a giant aquarium... Leave a Comment Theme: Other
