Sample Itinerary

Day 1

Welcome day

Getting to the Seychelles can take a bit of time depending on where you live, but it is absolutely worth it! There are more connections to the island nation than you probably expect. You can generally find great prices by flying into Dubai and then from Dubai to Seychelles (3 hour flight).

Arrive in on Mahe (the largest island in the Seychelles and home to its only international airport) in the early morning or early afternoon - our representative will meet you at the airport and escort you to the hotel.

Tonight we will welcome you with a unique gourmet Seychellois dinner - meet the rest of the group and get ready for an exciting week!

Day 2

Explore Mahe

Start your day with an early morning yoga and pilates class on a hill overlooking the clear blue waters of the island. This breathtaking start to your day begins with a short hike through tropical jungle to the summit of the mountain overlooking the bay where you will have your yoga class.

After yoga enjoy a private group breakfast picnic on the beach and get to know the rest of the guests on the trip with some fun ice breakers before heading out for afternoon activities.

There’s no better way to get a true perspective of the plentiful surrounding islands than with a scenic flight, on board a state-of-the-art Eurocopter which offers a truly unique perspective of the Indian Ocean - sip some champagne and enjoy the views. Our hotel has it’s own helipad making your tour experience seamless - you will be picked up right from the hotel!

Day 3

Sights of Praslin and beyond – Full Day tour

Today we will set sail on a private boat - visit St. Pierre Island, Curieuse Island Reserve, Anse Georgette beach and take a scenic cruise along the North East Coast of Praslin Island.

Swim, snorkel and take pictures on some of Seychelles best islands and meet the famous giant Aldabra land tortoises. Here you will go on a one-hour guided tour of the island through the mountains, mangrove and eventually visit the beach at Anse Josee. Around noon you will be served a delicious BBQ lunch and once finished, you will set sail to Anse Georgette Beach for a swim and photo opportunities. Lastly, you will take a scenic cruise along the North East Coast of Praslin Island before getting dropped off at your hotel.

Toast to our adventure with farewell cocktails on the boat at the end of the day.

Day 4

Relax and Take it easy

Today is all about relaxation - start your day with morning yoga session on the beach and then enjoy the resorts many facilities, take it easy by the beach at your comfort or head out exploring on your own terms.

Today you will have a luxury spa session valued at over $300 with ocean breeze and the waves crashing in the distance! Your session includes a seaside massage and a body scrub treatment.

Enjoy sunset tonight with a specially curated group sunset photoshoot & optional cocktail hour

Day 5

LA DIgue - Full Day Tour

Sail to La Digue, then travel to the magnificent Anse Source D’Argent, another contender for most beautiful beach in the world. And it’s no wonder, given its powdery white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, glorious palm trees and granite boulders.

This beach is often said to be one of the most-photographed in the world, and certainly wins my vote for most beautiful beach in the Seychelles. It's an absolute must-do for any Seychelles trip.

Today you will enjoy La Digue’s diversity and culture with a historic island tour before heading into the waters for an instagrammable and adventurous crystal clear kayaking experience.

Round the day up with a picnic on the beach and explore on your own terms before heading back to the hotel.

Tonight

We will end the trip with a closing dinner and say our goodbyes to the new friends we have made this week.

Day 6

Check out & Goodbyes

YOU’LL NEED TO HANDLE:

Flights - from wherever in the world you’re joining us from.

Travel insurance - You are responsible for obtaining your own travel insurance. Travel insurance is not required but it is recommended. I recommend World Nomads. Nevertheless, it is your responsibility to research travel insurance companies in your location and select an insurer that covers any potential flight cancellations and/or medical coverage abroad.

Visas and vaccinations - Seychelles is a visa-free country (Including for African countries) which means that there are no visa requirements for any persons wishing to travel. Although a visa is not required to enter Seychelles, visitors should nevertheless have in their possession a valid passport or other travel documents recognized by the government of Seychelles in order to gain entry. The passport must be valid for the period of the intended stay until arrival back in the holder’s country of origin or residence.

Read more about the Seychelles’ entry requirements here.

Spending money in local currency - for extra drinks, snacks, souvenirs and lunch/dinners not included.

CAN I COME ALONE OR DO I HAVE TO COME WITH SOMEONE?

Either or! The great thing about these travel meet-ups is that it's a wonderful opportunity to connect with other like-minded travelers and make new friendships. More than half of our guests are coming solo and a few are bringing a bestie or two!

WEATHER IN SEYCHELLES IN NOVEMBER

The Seychelles’ tropical climate makes it a year-round destination for sun worshipers and beach lovers. The temperature rarely drops below 24°C / 75.2°F or rises above 32°C / 89.6°F. The Seychelles does not have any conventional seasons; however, the weather does vary depending on the predominant trade winds.

October to December is nesting season for the Hawksbill turtles. Hundreds of females make their way to the various beaches around the islands to lay over 200 eggs at a time.

Rain in Seychelles usually only lasts a few hours and is followed by sunshine, so you can still experience all the beauty of the islands and spend your afternoons lazing on the beaches in November and year-round.

The diving seasons are from March to May and September to November, but April and October offer the best visibility and the best time to swim with whale sharks is from September to November.

IF I CHANGE MY MIND, DO I GET A REFUND?

Because the accommodation and activities are paid for once you confirm your spot, all deposits are non-refundable.

Refund Policy after the deposit:

Please note that the deposit is non-refundable and you have up to 7 days after payment is made to request a refund for all payments made towards the remaining balance after the deposit.

WHAT METHODS OF PAYMENT ARE ACCEPTED?

All payments must be made through the website using any major debit/credit cards and PayPal, you will receive an automated invoice.

Safety

The Seychelles is politically stable and safe for tourists to visit. The Seychelles has one of the lowest crime rates in Africa, and violent crimes are extremely rare. Seychelles is considered safe for all tourists, including families and solo travelers.
