Culture
Victoria's market and the Cultural Village on the Mahé tour, and the Vallée de Mai on Praslin.
Six nights for four friends who want to dive, cycle and island hop, with a rum distillery stop for good measure.
A group of friends does not need a resort to enjoy Seychelles. The islands have more to do than most people expect, from coral walls and wrecks to a car-free island that is best seen on a bicycle.
This is one of the Seychelles itineraries we've planned for a group of friends before, six nights, seven days across Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, built for four adults travelling together. It's shared here to show what a friends' trip through Seychelles could look like. A version built around your own group's size, pace and dates would look a little different, and that's the point.
Why This Trip
The Mahé coach tour covers Victoria, the Cultural Village, Eden Island and the Takamaka Bay Rum Distillery in one day, with lunch and entrance fees included, so the group sees the island without planning any of it.
Praslin and La Digue are the active half. A dive day, a day of cycling and a morning at Anse Source d'Argent give the group plenty to do, and the evenings are for Beau Vallon's beach bars or the hotel terrace. If you asked us: book the diving for the second or third day rather than the last. Divers should not fly within about 24 hours of their final dive, so the dive day belongs earlier in the trip.

Day By Day
A transfer to the hotel on Mahé, then an evening at Beau Vallon for a swim and sunset drinks at one of the beachside bars.
A coach tour through Victoria, the Cultural Village and Eden Island, with a viewpoint stop at Mission Lodge and a visit to the Takamaka Bay Rum Distillery. Lunch and entrance fees are included, and rum tasting is paid directly at the distillery.

A morning catamaran to Praslin and a free afternoon at the hotel and beach.
A hotel pickup and a shared boat across to La Digue. The group rents bicycles to explore at its own pace, taking in Anse Source d'Argent, Grand Anse and the island's quiet villages before the boat back.
A morning in the Vallée de Mai's ancient palm forest, followed by a long afternoon in Anse Lazio.
A transfer to the airport for the flight home.

Ready When You Are
A coral wall, a rum tasting, a day on bicycles with nowhere to be, Seychelles gives a group of friends a week that is active, easy and well worth the journey. This is one of the itineraries we've built for a group of friends travelling together before, shared here to show what the trip could look like. A version built for your own group, size, pace and dates, would look a little different.
