10 Days in Seychelles
What can you do in Seychelles in 10 days? Combine Mahé, Praslin and La Digue comfortably, with time for beaches, nature, excursions and a few slower days.
Why Spend 10 Days in Seychelles?
Ten days is ample to take in the main islands without constant packing and unpacking. It also leaves room for specialist experiences, slower beach days and flexibility for weather.
Days 1–3 — Mahé
Begin with three nights on Mahé, combining beaches, Victoria, mountain scenery, local cuisine and one memorable excursion. Keep a half-day free for whatever the weather brings.
Days 4–6 — Praslin
Move on to Praslin for three nights, exploring its beaches, Vallée de Mai and nearby islands or marine experiences. It also makes an excellent base for select day trips.
Days 7–8 — La Digue
Give La Digue two nights rather than a passing day trip. Cycling, beaches, Anse Source d’Argent and the island’s quieter evening atmosphere all deserve unhurried time.
Days 9–10 — Return and a Final Indulgence
Return to Mahé and spend your remaining time on a favourite beach, fishing, diving, sailing, shopping or a memorable meal. Keep your departure day simple and unhurried.
