October is the month most often highlighted in Seychelles tourism material for whale shark season, though sightings are never guaranteed and should be treated as a bonus rather than a fixed promise.

Some Seychelles beaches see the strongest hawksbill nesting activity in the lateyear to earlyyear period, which adds value for wildlifeminded travelers even if they are not diving every day.

These are the easiest countrywide months for combining snorkeling, diving, ferries, and scenic boat days in one trip without fighting the wind every other day.

The tradewind period can make the country feel more dramatic and less forgiving, especially on exposed beaches, ferry routes, and OuterIsland edges.
