Seychelles trip costs vary based on factors such as travel season, accommodation category, trip duration, island combinations, flights, and the experiences included in your itinerary.
The best way to travel to Seychelles from India is by flight. Currently, only Mumbai offers direct flight routes to Seychelles, while other major cities offer connecting flights with one layover city in between.
Thrillophilia Note: The cheapest window to book direct flights to the Seychelles is usually April, and November/December is the most expensive. If you’re planning on travelling during the peak season, book at least 3-4 months in advance to avoid peak pricing.
Thrillophilia Note: To avoid missing luggage transfers when connecting within Seychelles, we recommend booking domestic connections with a comfortable buffer before the next departure.
Seychelles ETA Guide
Indian passport holders do not require a visa in order to travel to the Seychelles as of June 2026. However, they do need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before departure. Apart from this, you get a visitor permit upon arrival, which is valid for a period of 90 days.
We suggest completing this application process at least 10 days before your trip to avoid any last-minute hassles. You can choose to do it by yourself or ask for assistance from the Thrillophilia team.
Choosing the right island is an important part of planning a Seychelles trip. Here's a guide to the main islands and the experiences they are best known for.
Mahé is the main tourist hub of Seychelles, home to the international airport and the smallest capital city in the world, Victoria. Most trips start and end here because of the airport and inter-island ferry connectivity network. A stay in Mahé is perfect for sightseeing, easy beach access (25 min from the airport), and shopping at the local markets.
Praslin is the reason why Seychelles is popular for its natural attractions. Home to Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, it is home to the coco de mer palm, the world’s largest seed, up to 25 kg in weight. The Anse Lazio Beach, one of the best beaches in the world with its powdery white sand and turquoise waters, is also located in Praslin. This region is a more nature and beach-focused secluded area of Seychelles, with Anse Georgette about a 20-min walk from Lemuria Resort.
If you want to relax and enjoy a complete digital detox, La Digue is the best island to stay on. There are no private cars here, so most people get around by bicycle or traditional ox cart. The island is home to Anse Source d'Argent, one of the most photographed beaches in the Indian Ocean, along with L'Union Estate, where you can see a vanilla plantation and giant tortoises. Life on La Digue is slow, peaceful, and free from the rush of everyday life. Since the island has fewer than 40 registered places to stay, it is best to book your accommodation 3 to 4 months in advance if you plan to visit during peak season.
Diving/Snorkelling: The Seychelles, known for its clean beaches, offers multiple snorkelling and diving spots. During peak season, water visibility ranges from 20 to 30 metres, with an average temperature of 28°C. Both activities are beginner-friendly, although having some swimming experience is preferred for diving. L’ilot is one of the best diving spots in Seychelles, known for its 18-metre depth, granite walls, and frequent hawksbill turtle sightings.
Best Time: April to May and October (good visibility and calm seas)
Best Locations: L’ilot Site, Coco Island Marine Park, St Pierre Island, and Ave Maria
When to Avoid: May to September (windy weather and choppy and rough waters) and January to February (peak rainy season)
Copolia Trail Hike: With a 1.4 to 1.6 km stretch one way, it takes about 2 hours for a round trip on this trail. If you are a hiking enthusiast, make sure to visit this place on your Seychelles trip. When you reach its granite peak, you are greeted by a complete view of Victoria and the St Anne Marine Park. The trail is beginner-friendly in most seasons.
Best Time: May to October for clear and dry weather; go for early morning slots like 8 am for better views
How to Reach: It is roughly 6 km from Victoria to Sans Soucis Road, a marked entrance near the Copolia Lodge.
When to Avoid: December-March (the trail is slippery due to the rainy season during this time.)
Giant Tortoise Encounter: Tortoises can live for more than 150 years. Seychelles offers the only two islands in the world where giant tortoises roam free. This is something you simply have to experience for yourself, because it is truly one of a kind.
Best Time: November to April (wet seasons make for the perfect conditions for increased tortoise activities.)
Best Locations: Curieuse Island and La Digue (L'Union Estate)
When to Avoid: Noon visits (12-3 pm, tortoises hide in shade or stay inactive during this time.)
Whale Shark Snorkelling: One of the more premium experiences in Seychelles, whale shark snorkelling takes you by boat to popular sighting areas where you can look for these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Throughout the experience, a local expert accompanies you, providing guidance and safety instructions during the snorkelling session.
Best Time: October-November
Best Location: Northwest coast of Mahé
Hidden Waterfall Trek: This is one of the most unique experiences that Seychelles can offer you. If you want a less-travelled route with fewer crowds, this is a 40-min hike from Anse Lazio in Praslin. It’s a huge granite pool fed by a 6-metre waterfall and usually empty of most travellers by 8 am.
Best Time: May to September (cool, dry weather)
How to Reach: It’s a 15-min hike from the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve.
When to Avoid: January to February (the trail is slippery due to the heavy rainfall.)

Thrillophilia Note: According to Thrillophilia’s 2026 booking data, travellers covering more than two islands on Seychelles trips shorter than 6 days often report lower satisfaction due to rushed itineraries, travel fatigue, and higher costs. For shorter trips, it is best to limit your itinerary to a maximum of two islands.
Each tourist window of Seychelles has something unique to offer for every traveller. Your packing essentials also vary depending on what time you decide to plan to depart. According to the Seychelles Meteorological Authority, here is a month-by-month guide to help you time your Seychelles trip perfectly -
April-May (27–29°C)
If you plan on booking a water activities-heavy itinerary, this window is perfect for you. With calm seas and low winds, this window has the best dive visibility, reaching up to 30 metres+. Since it’s not peak tourist season, you also get better deals on flights and hotels.
Best for: Divers, photography, honeymoons, and island hopping
Avoid if: You prefer lively experiences or are looking for the cheapest deals
June-September (25–29°C)
This is the peak traveller season in Seychelles. The weather is dry, yet cool, making it perfect for both outdoor activities and water sports. Sailing is also a very popular activity during this time because of the trade winds. Due to the overall good weather in this window, the increase in traveller visits results in inflated pricing of accommodations and flights.
Best for: Hiking, Sailing and other wind-based activities; first-timers; families; group travellers
Avoid if: You are a budget-conscious traveller looking for a peaceful trip with fewer crowds
Thrillophilia Insight: The northwest coast beaches are calm and great for diving and other water sports. The southeast-facing beaches, however, including Anse Intendance, experience rougher sea behaviour and stronger currents during this window. Plan your activity destinations accordingly.
October-November (28–30°C)
This window sees the transition into the peak monsoon season in Seychelles. With overall good weather for sightseeing and other outdoor activities, you are most likely to experience only light rain in this window. October creates the perfect conditions to spot sharks off the northwestern coast of Mahé. November significantly increases the chances of rain in most regions of Seychelles. Since this is a shoulder season, flights and hotels offer better deals in comparison to the peak season.
Best for: Solo travellers, backpackers, marine life experiences, and sunset cruises
Avoid if: You prefer an outdoors-heavy itinerary or activity-packed plans
Thrillophilia Insight: Shark sightings do not follow a steady pattern. To increase your chances of spotting one, book your cruise or boat rides 1-2 days in advance, depending on the latest sighting news.
December-March (30-31°C)
This is the peak monsoon season in Seychelles, with heavy rainfall reaching up to 380 mm in some areas, especially during December. Due to lower tourist demand during this period, many hotels and resorts offer discounts of 20–30%. However, strong winds and rough sea conditions can result in ferry cancellations, while reduced underwater visibility may affect diving and snorkelling activities.
Best for: Travellers who want the cheapest deals and indoor-based itineraries
Avoid if: You are a first-time visitor, planning extensive sightseeing or water sports, or looking for a premium milestone trip
Seychelles cuisine is influenced by African, Indian, British, French, and Chinese flavours. As an island country, many local dishes are made with fresh seafood and coconut, which are commonly used ingredients across the islands.
Coconut Curry: Made with fish/chicken, it is a staple dish preferred for lunch and dinner. Upon request, they also offer a vegetarian version of this dish with assorted vegetables.
Cost: INR 210 to INR 420
Best Place to Try: Marie Antoinette Restaurant, Mahé (Creole institution since 1972)
Shark Chutney: It's a traditional Seychellois dish made from boiled, minced shark meat with onions, lemon, and spices. It's usually served cold as a side dish and has no vegetarian version.
Cost: INR 110 to INR 210
Best Places to Try: Local eateries in Victoria; Sir Selwyn Clarke Market
Grilled Red Snapper: Also known as 'Pwason Griye' or 'Bourzwa Grillé', it is a signature Seychellois dish. It’s a whole red snapper marinated with garlic, ginger, chillies, lime juice, soy sauce, and thyme and then grilled over slow heat over charcoal. It’s a must-try dish on your Seychelles trip. There is no vegetarian version available of this.
Cost: INR 280 to INR 560
Best Places to Try: Any beachside restaurant; Café des Arts, Praslin
Breadfruit: Also known as 'uru', it's a French-inspired staple, a starchy food roasted whole over a wood fire with a soft, smoky interior. There is a saying in Seychelles that if you eat breadfruit while visiting, you’re “bound to return to the islands”. The best part? It is a vegetarian dish.
Cost: INR 70 to INR 140
Best Places to Try: All local restaurants as a side dish
Lentil Dhal + Coconut Chatini: This dish combines red lentil dal cooked with coconut milk, turmeric, and garlic, and is usually served with a spicy coconut chutney. Many restaurants can also prepare a Jain version if requested while ordering.
Cost: INR 85 to INR 170
Best Places to Try: Local Creole restaurants (ask specifically for it)
Ladob Dessert: It is served in both sweet and savoury styles. The sweet version traditionally includes breadfruit, ripe plantains, and sweet potatoes cooked in a sauce made with coconut milk, sugar, vanilla pod, and nutmeg. The savoury version is usually prepared with breadfruit and vegetables, simmered in lightly seasoned coconut milk and served as a side dish with fish, meat, or curry.
Cost: INR 85 to INR 140
Best Places to Try: Windflower Cafe (Mahé), and local roadside stalls and takeaways
Indian Restaurants in Mahé: Mahek Indian Restaurant (Victoria area) and The Maharaja's serve full Indian menus with an assortment of vegetarian and Jain options. For vegetarian options at your hotel/resort, inform them in advance of your dietary preferences.
Seychelles is generally considered to be a traveller-friendly destination. However, it’s still important to consider and understand all possible issues you might face on the trip and the best ways to avoid them. Thrillophilia offers 24/7 on-trip assistance for every Seychelles tour package; contact us immediately without any hesitation if you face any issues during your trip.
Before travelling to Seychelles, it is helpful to understand the key travel essentials, including entry requirements, currency, connectivity, transportation, and local travel tips for a smooth and hassle-free holiday.
Currency & Payments
SIM and Connectivity
Although Indian SIM cards function in Seychelles, you would require activating an international roaming package before your arrival. It often offers a slow and buffering network with an expensive bill to follow up on. Purchase a local SIM card instead for cheaper packages and better network connectivity.
