Seychelles | Trips to Earth

How They Dazzle Us

A true island paradise, if you love pristine beaches and clear blue sea then The Seychelles is the place for you. It is an opportunity to get away from it all and to soak up the sun and sea in some of the scenic and idyllic beaches anywhere in the world.

Why We Love Them

It’s tiny and isolated and a paradise in every sense. Some countries have good things and ordinary things but when a nation is as small as the Seychelles is such an idyllic location it is hard not to love everything. From the moment you arrive you can feel the calm and the change of pace – it’s like an injection of ozone.

Their Sustainable Superpower

More than 15 percent of formally employed people in The Seychelles work in the tourism sector, yet despite this the government has passed laws to ensure that tourism is not at the expense of the environment. To this end laws are in place restricting the number of hotel beds on the main islands, a bold yet farsighted move.

Best Time to Visit

There isn’t really a bad time to visit this beautiful country there are just good times and better times. The best times are in autumn and spring, which in short are in April and May and then October and November. Visiting in these months mans avoiding the hot and humid summers and the cooler winter months.

Unique Foods

Given its island location it is no surprise that the Seychelles is famous for its sea food. Its proximity to Asia also means there are strong spicy influences and currys are popular. Grilled fish and octopus curry are two standout dishes while the ubiquitous breadfruit is also a common ingredient in a lot of dishes. Look out for breadfruit chips and breadfruit mash which are both common sides.
