Seychelles: what to do on each island and how they connect
Most trips to the Seychelles take in the three main inner islands: Mahé, where the international airport is, Praslin and La Digue. Each has its own pace, and the ferries between them shape how you split your days.
If you are still choosing a base, start with Praslin or La Digue?. Praslin's beaches and nature reserves are in the Praslin island guide, and the beach most visitors come to La Digue for is Anse Source d'Argent. For getting between the islands, see Seychelles ferries and transport; for days out on the water, Seychelles boat trips.
