Getting around


Scattered likeDriving in Seychelles in on the left side of the road. The roads on Mahe are low-traffic, mountainous, narrow roads, so caution is generally advised.

Having a car is really a good idea and makes life much simpler. For as little as 100 rupees worth of gas you can see the entire island of Mahe in a couple of hours, including stops at beaches and whatever else catches your eye.

There is free parking for tourists in 'downtown' Victoria , and if you go with a B&B or self-catering option for accommodations it’s by far the easiest way to pick up groceries. A car will also allow you access to the stores where locals do their regular shopping, and the prices are more reasonable as. There is no substitute for running your vacation on your own schedule.

Car hire operators are available on Mahé and Praslin. You can rent a small car (eg: Hyundai Atos) for around 35-45 Euros per day, but keep in mind that renters must be at least 21 years old, have a valid driver's license, and have at least three years of driving experience.

Prices can be negotiated, with the better rate available for rental periods of 3 consecutive days or more. The 'excess' payable by the customer in the event of a claim, ranges from 300 to 1000 Euros depending on the company, so choose carefully and ask the right questions.
Taxis are also popular means of transportation for both short trips and day rental and can be obtained almost anywhere. Taxi prices for non-residents (approx. 40 rupees/1.3Euros per km at Sept 2010) on a relatively long trip, can easily exceed the cost of hiring a small car for a day.

Seychelles Public Transport Corporation (SPTC) runs daily bus services on the islands of Praslin and Mahe from morning to evening on nearly every available road on the island. The bus usually passes by every 30 minutes.
Although the bus will get you there, the schedules aren't tight and the drivers are a bit bold on the very narrow roads if you're a nervous passenger.
