Important information about your destination
Customs and traditions
When travelling to the Seychelles, it is crucial to respect local habits and customs to ensure a harmonious trip. First of all, this is a destination where respect for the environment is of the utmost importance. With its heavenly landscapes, it is essential to leave the area in its natural state. So avoid picking flowers, disturbing animals or leaving litter.
The people of Seychelles are generally warm and welcoming, but they appreciate discretion and respect for their privacy. When visiting a local's home, it is a good idea to bring a small gift for the host.
Dress is rather casual, but conservative. Beachwear is appropriate only on beaches and in tourist resorts. In churches and other places of worship, appropriate dress is required: shoulders and knees must be covered.
Finally, punctuality is not a strict requirement in the Seychelles. A delay of fifteen to thirty minutes is generally accepted for social appointments.
Time difference
Situated in the UTC+4 time zone, Seychelles does not apply daylight saving time changes in summer or winter. London, United Kingdom time is 3:00 hours behind Seychelles
Electricity and internet access
As far as electricity is concerned, Seychelles uses a main voltage of 240 volts at a frequency of 50 Hz. Most plugs are G-type, with three pins, identical to those used in the UK.
As far as Internet access is concerned, although the Seychelles is an isolated archipelago, this top tourist destination offers relatively reliable Internet connectivity. Most hotels, restaurants and resorts provide free or paid Wi-Fi access to their guests. However, network coverage can be limited in more rural or remote areas. In addition, internet speeds may be slower than what you are used to at home. For a constant and reliable internet connection, it is possible to purchase a local prepaid SIM card on arrival. This can be particularly useful if you plan to visit more remote islands where Internet access may be limited.
Safety
Seychelles is generally considered a safe destination for travel and tourism.
However, as in any tourist destination, attention must be paid to personal belongings to avoid the occasional theft. It is advisable not to leave valuables unattended on beaches or in hire cars. In terms of physical insecurity, Seychelles has a relatively low crime rate, but remain vigilant, especially at night in less-frequented areas.
No specific vaccinations are required, unless you come from a yellow fever zone.
In terms of water safety, it's important to note that from November to April, the beaches on the north-western side of the island can be affected by tidal currents and waves, which can sometimes be dangerous. It is always advisable to respect beach signs and swim in protected areas.
Currency
The official currency is the Seychelles Rupee (SCR). Change is required for small shops, markets and public transport. Larger establishments accept credit cards. Cash dispensers are available on the main islands. Check exchange rates before departure, and be aware of possible bank charges.
Weather
The Seychelles has a tropical maritime climate, with an average temperature of 27°C all year round. There are two seasons: the north-west monsoon, with heavy rainfall from November to March, and the cooler dry season, also known as the south-east monsoon, from May to October. The transition period between the two seasons generally offers calmer weather in April and October. Each season has its own charm, and activities such as diving are particularly enjoyable during the south-east monsoon season.
Languages
The official languages of Seychelles are Seychellois Creole, English and French. English is widely spoken and understood in all other parts of the country, and French is also commonly used.
Accommodation quality
The quality of accommodation in the Seychelles is remarkable. Hotels are often set in idyllic locations, nestled between white sandy beaches and lush tropical forests.

You can expect to enjoy fresh seafood as well as unique exotic fruits. All meals are generally prepared with fresh local ingredients, ensuring their distinctive flavour and high quality. Food hygiene protocols are strictly adhered to in most establishments, from fine dining restaurants to casual beach canteens and local street stalls.
