Just had a week in Seychelles in late October. Stayed at Ak-hon (also spelled Ah-kon) Guesthouse on La Digue at 42 Eureo a night including huge breakfast and masive dinner. Locals often refer to it as Joann's. Very clean and lovely home in good garden location just a couple of minutes from the ferry terminal. Joann can be a bit pushy and annoying at times but is an excellent cook, particularly fish. If you get sick of her always wanting to talk, just say you have some writing or reading to do. No problem about bringing back beer or wine to have with your meal.
In Victoria I stayed at Calypha Guets House just outside town. Again, 42 euros a night but only breakfast was included; Dinner is extra 15 euro and must be booked in advance each morning. Again, very clean and big breakfast. The couple who run it are delightful. Very easy to get into town on the local bus.

Hello there,
Does anyone have some information on a ferry plying the route between the East African Coast and Seychelles? FERRY being the key word here, i.e no luxurious cruise ships.
A website, contact details, approximate travel rates and time to cross would be much appreciated.

Hi!
Looking at a trip to Seychelles in December. Slightly held back by weather concerns. I´m not depending on it being sunshine every day since I am not too much into sunbathing and so on. But do not want a two week holiday of rain...
Anybody who has been there, and have an idea how should I look at this?
Many thanks for your answer!
Erik

Two quick questions to my fellow travelers:
1. Can somebody recommend me decent, good value for money accommodation that has Wifi in Victoria. I would like to be in close walking distance or short bus ride to the Seychelles Trading Company Conference Room, which is located next to the New Port. My budget is under 130 dollars for a single room.
2. Can US cash dollars be widely used on the Mahe?
THanks as always

My husband and I are thinking about taking our two sun-starved 20-something daughters to the Seychelles in the second half of October. (This is the only time that seems to fit everyone's schedules.) Are we likely to encounter lots of rainy days, rather than the sun we are looking for?

Hi,
I´m checkin different websites and previous posts... but so far nothing affordable in sight in neither Mahe or Praslin...
Do you have any ideas for cheap accomodation from Sep. 13? Are there any rooms for rent or anything similar? How can I find information?
Any help appreciated.

My daughter is travelling to the Seychelles on 19th August. She will be there for 11 weeks working on a conservation project. Which is the best currency to take British pounds or Euros? We obviously have the pound and don't want to change money if it is not neccesary.

Hi,
I've been to the Seychelles in April and unfortunately came back with 2,000 Rupees (approx 100 euro) somewhere tucked away. There's no bank here (in South Africa) that exchanges these.
Is there someone that knows of a way to get these exchanged into anything useful? Or is there anyone wants to buy these Rupees at 50% of their value?
Thanks!
Jeroen

Hi,
we would like to go to Seychelles in September with our 1,5 years old son. We would like to spend there 2 weeks (7 days Mahe, 3 days Praslin, 4 days La Digue). But we are afraid of big costs of this holiday (for about 2 weeks) and whether it is suitable for a little baby. I would like to know:
1) Is it real to find some good accommodation under 40 euro per person on that islands? I have read that there are some cheap accommodations, but i dont know, if they arent too far from beach, or if they are free yet (because its only 3 months before our trip and the number of cheap rooms can be limited).
2) Food - what is the average price in cheap restaurants there?
3) Transfer in Mahe - i have heard that buses are cheap there, but are they comfortable and safe for traveling with a baby? Can i easy visit main beaches in Mahe with buses? What are prices for taxi there?
4) Transfer in ...

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could help with finding some cheap accommodations on the main island.
Any backpackers, hostels or cheap guesthouses around, meaning like under 30 Euros, I know accommodation is quite expensive there, but as in the Caribbean, there are always some cheap places around.
Please send me some names with prices and locations and if possible websites!
Thanx in advance!
Patrick
