With 115 islands to choose from, one thing you can be sure of in Seychelles is that you will not be in wont a place to go or a thing to do. From diving under the azure waters to lounging by the ivory sands to visiting the lush greens that thrive in the hybrid waters, when in Seychelles, things to do are aplenty.
If your visit is during the months of March and April or September to November, grab a plastic mask and a tube, or grab yourself a diving kit and take the plunge into the teal waters. A mild temperature – mere 29⁰ – coupled with the transparency of water that is unique to Seychelles, you will be transported to a different world altogether in your scuba diving adventure. The depths, of course, vary from 8m to 30m, making it ideal for beginners as well as for the more experienced diver. Even if taking the plunge is not your thing, you should try snorkelling here. The most attractive feature of Seychelles Sea is not the marine life, but the terrain: one that is rich in radiant reefs, sudden drop-offs, gradual cliffs and wrecks from days of yore. If you are choosing a hotel like AVANI Seychelles Barbarons Resort and Spa for your stay, talk to them about their Marine Park excursion – a perfect way to explore the beauty of Seychelles’ marine life with the minimal personal hassle.
Taking a step out of the salty seas, you can visit the Mangrove & Vacoa Nature Trail Discovery. If your timing to the island is right, you can bear witness to one of the most colourful and ethnically diverse festivals of all time, Creole Fair. Or simply hop on a horse and ride through the foams down the beach. Enrol yourself in a yoga course or take meditation lessons by the beach.
Whether you are planning on sweating it out, or never getting off your back, Seychelles will manage to captivate and enthral you with its unique offerings.
