Most international travelers enter Seychelles through Seychelles International Airport on Mahe, then continue to the Outer Islands on resort-arranged or operator-arranged flights from the domestic side of SEZ. Desroches is the simplest onward hop, with scheduled IDC-operated scenic flights booked through Four Seasons. Alphonse is also reached by operator-managed flights from Mahe and often works best with a Mahe buffer if your inbound long-haul arrives late. Astove and Cosmoledo are much more specialist and should be planned as seasonal expedition-style extensions rather than casual add-ons. There are no regular public ferries to these adventure islands.
On the adventure islands themselves, transport is usually part of the stay. Desroches is best explored by bicycle, while Alphonse mixes bicycles, short buggy transfers, and guided boat moves.
