Granite reefs, giant tortoise day trips, and an easy two-island rhythm in Seychelles
Key fee: Seychelles Travel Authorisation
EUR 10 standard processing
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
There is no single Praslin or La Digue dive tag. Instead, budget for the arrival formalities, the accommodation sustainability levy where it applies, and individual SPGA protected-area tickets for places such as Curieuse, Iles Cocos, and the Veuve Reserve.
