Excursions in Seychelles

Being one of the most exotic islands in the Indian Ocean, the island of Seychelles is a host to the most fabulous Seychelles Excursion trails in the world, providing the hikers an opportunity to feast on the natural beauty.

The Seychelles Excursion includes hiking or trailing through to the most beautiful national parks and bio-reserves.

Marine National Park provides the joy of trailing on an off beat path. Situated off the east coast of Mahe, the park is made up of a group of six islands. Diving and Snorkeling into the deep sea would not fail to add fun to your Seychelles Excursions. 

Visiting the islands while on a Seychelles Excursion would be the ideal memory to take back home!

  • There are numerous opportunities to dive on most days of the itinerary, and we can also conduct introductory dives for novices. Contact us for dive rates and equipment rental fees.
  • Water skiing and tube rides are available at very reasonable rates. Snorkelling equipment and kayaks are included in the cost of the cruise.
  • All of our cruises are full board - we serve a combination of International and authentic Creole cuisine. Please contact us for special dietary needs
