Exploring remote boulder-framed coves, swimming side by side with turtles, nature hikes through the jungle where you can see the ancient and endangered coco de mer tree… On a tailor-made holiday to the Seychelles with Audley, you’ll see the highlights — and much more — your way. We’ll design your ideal trip with you, paying close attention to your interests, your travel style and your budget. Our Seychelles specialists know the islands inside and out, and can lead you to experiences you won’t find in a guidebook.
Spend a day hopping between sandy coves and palm-shrouded islets on a catamaran trip. Take a guided hike through the islands’ mountainous, granite interiors and take in the vanilla growing wild and the rare animal species, such as the black parrot. Take a private tour of the island of Praslin, passing by traditional Creole homes and stopping for lunch on a secluded hillside, surrounded by mangrove forests and the calls of sunbirds and the blue pigeon. Visit Victoria, the capital on Mahé with its family-run rum distilleries, botanical gardens and artist studios.
Pristine waters framed by palm groves. Sugar-sand beaches that look out onto bright green islands. Vibrant coral reefs teeming with hawksbill sea turtles, angelfish and manta rays. What excites you? Travel at your own pace, in your own style, with the confidence that we’ll show you the best options, wherever you go.
