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.
