Seychelles is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Kreol Institute cultural visit. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Our trip to Seychelles was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Beau Vallon beach was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Morne Seychellois National Park guided hike alone was worth the trip, but combined with Glass-bottom boat at Anse Volbert this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Aride Island Nature Reserve seabird tour and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.
