Getting around

We can book your flights to Praslin, Frégate, Desroches, Bird and Denis Island, and will run charters to other islands. Helicopters also fly to some of the islands.

Ferries run regularly between Mahé, Praslin and la Digue - tours can be arranged if you want to go to the other islands you'll have to charter a boat.

An extensive bus service operates throughout Mahé, and there's limited service on Praslin. Hire cars are readily available on Mahé and Praslin.

Taxis run on Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. Though taxis are metered, drivers are often reluctant to use them - be prepared to negotiate.

There are plenty of bicycles for hire on La Digue, which is ideal for cycling and walking.

There are a few rental outlets on Praslin but on Mahé, which is a bit hilly for casual cyclists, bike hire is hard to find.
