A boat tour in Seychelles is all about sunshine, water, and comfort. To enjoy the day fully, consider packing:

  • Swimwear
  • Lightweight clothing
  • Sunblock (reef-safe recommended)
  • A hat or cap
  • Sunglasses
  • Towel
  • Flip-flops or reef shoes
  • A waterproof pouch for your phone and valuables
  • Motion sickness tablets if you are prone to seasickness
  • A light cover-up or T-shirt for sun protection

Most boats have dry compartments, but Seychelles is a watery world, so assume anything not waterproof may get splashed.

Land tours are more flexible, but it helps to pack:

  • Comfortable walking shoes or sandals
  • A bottle of water
  • Sunblock and hat
  • Camera or phone
  • Cash or card for entrance fees

  • Rain jacket during wetter months

If you plan to swim at a beach en route, bring a towel and swimwear.

Hotel pickups are simple and organised for your comfort. Once your booking is confirmed:

  • Your guide or driver will meet you directly at your accommodation lobby.
  • For boat tours, you may be taken to the nearest jetty or marina.
  • For our Mahé island tour, you’ll be collected by car at the pickup point.

If your accommodation is outside standard pickup zones, a small transfer fee may apply, which will be communicated upfront.

The Seychelles enjoys warm tropical weather year-round, but conditions can change quickly at sea.

In case of unsafe weather:

  • Your tour operator may delay the departure for a short time.
  • If conditions don’t improve, the tour will be rescheduled to another suitable day.
  • If rescheduling is not possible, you may be offered an alternative experience or a refund according to the operator’s policy.
