Traveling to Seychelles? Land Connected.

Seychelles is granite boulders, powder beaches and giant tortoises scattered across 115 Indian Ocean islands — and island-hopping is far smoother with data from the moment you land. Install your CGOO eSIM before you fly and you arrive connected at Seychelles International Airport, ready for ferries, taxis and bookings without hunting for a SIM shop.

Choose the Plan That Fits Your Trip

  • Fixed data or unlimited: pick from the plan grid above by trip length and data use — fixed-data plans for maps, messaging and light browsing, unlimited plans for heavy use and hotspotting.
  • Instant delivery: your QR code and installation link are emailed within minutes of checkout. Install before your flight; validity starts on the day you activate.
  • Good to know: your phone must support eSIM (dial *#06# and look for an EID), and your 15-digit IMEI is required at checkout so your eSIM can be provisioned.

Travel Highlights

  • Anse Source d'Argent, La Digue: the famous granite-boulder beach — arrive early for the light and fewer crowds.
  • Anse Lazio, Praslin: a wide arc of white sand and calm swimming on the second island.
  • Vallée de Mai, Praslin: the UNESCO palm forest, home of the legendary coco de mer nut.
  • Curieuse Island: free-roaming giant tortoises and a short trail to a viewpoint over the bay.
  • Beau Vallon, Mahé: the main island's liveliest beach, with water sports, markets and sunset restaurants.

Getting Around

  • No international ride-hailing app operates here: Uber and Grab are not available in Seychelles. Local taxi apps — Taxi Seychelles, SeyTaxi and the fixed-fare KOEK app — book licensed taxis on Mahé and Praslin.
  • Airport to town: official taxis wait outside the terminal at Seychelles International (SEZ); agree the fare before you set off, or pre-book a transfer through your hotel.
  • Buses: the SPTC bus network is cheap and reliable on Mahé and Praslin, running from early morning to evening — cash in rupees, small change ready.
  • Between islands: Cat Cocos ferries link Mahé and Praslin, and the Inter Island Ferry links Praslin and La Digue; on La Digue itself, bicycles are the main way around, and driving is on the left.

Safety and Practical Tips

Seychelles is very safe for visitors, with the usual care for valuables at beaches and in rental cars. The main risks are in the water: respect current warnings at wilder beaches, never swim alone at unguarded spots, and watch for strong currents after rain.

Sun and heat are serious here — use reef-safe sunscreen, drink plenty of water, and keep a hat on for island walks. Roads are narrow and winding, so drive slowly, especially after dark.

Entry and Visa

Entry rules depend on your passport. Seychelles is visa-free for every nationality, but every visitor must complete the mandatory Travel Authorization online before travel and is then issued a free Visitor's Permit on arrival — carry a valid passport, a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and proof of sufficient funds, and check the current authorization requirements before you fly.

Weather and Climate

  • Warm year-round: roughly 26–30°C on the coast, with high humidity in every season.
  • Northwest monsoon (November to March): warmer, wetter and calmer seas on the northwest coasts — the best diving visibility on that side.
  • Southeast trades (May to September): drier and breezier, with rougher seas on the southeast coasts and the best conditions on the northwest beaches.
  • Shoulder months (April and October): often the calmest seas of all — a favourite window for diving and snorkelling everywhere.

Money and Payments

  • Currency: the Seychellois rupee (SCR) — cash is standard for buses and taxis.
  • Cards: widely accepted in hotels, resorts, larger restaurants and for ferries and car rentals; smaller guesthouses and beach stalls are cash-only.
  • Wise: works wherever Visa or Mastercard is accepted; there is no SCR balance claim here — carry rupees for buses, taxis and markets.
  • ATMs: available in Victoria and at the airport, but scarce on smaller islands — stock up before heading to La Digue or the outer islands.
