Taxis can be hired on all three major islands: Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue. Cabs can be hailed off the side of the road, picked up at taxi stands, or pre-ordered via telephone. Make sure the fare is agreed upon before boarding if the taxi isn't equipped with a meter.

    Seychelles International Airport (SEZ)

    Seychelles International Airport (SEZ)

    The Seychelles International Airport, a few kilometres away from the Mahe Island's Victoria, is the country's only international airport, and main point of entry for the majority of visitors. Taxis and rental cars are available for hire at the airport. There is a public bus stop just outside the airport; at the time of writing, the Seychelles public busses are not equipped with luggage storage compartments, which means no passengers travelling with luggage are admitted on board.

    The larger islands of Mahe and Praslin both have rather well-developed bus networks. A print-out containing all information about schedules and routes can be picked up at the main station in Victoria (and at tourist offices in Praslin). Bus destinations are usually displayed on the front window, fares are fixed regardless of travel distance and are paid to the driver upon boarding. To reach some destinations, a change at the capital's main station may be needed. Ferry service connects the principal islands of Mahe, Praslin and La Digue. Privately arranged boat tours are necessary to reach other islands. On La Digue, cycling is the primary means of transportation, and bikes are widely available. Air Seychelles operates 15-minute flights between Mahe and Praslin, and flies to other islands of the archipelago (some routes on request). Two charter companies (helicopter Zil Air and Islands Development Company (IDC)) also arrange transfers and excursions.
