Visitors usually approach the Seychelles via Mahé and Victoria airport. No need to worry about landing alone. Moreover, French is quite frequently understood so you can easily organize your trip on the spot. But it will not necessarily be cheaper than going through a travel agency. You can choose the discovery package on a sailboat which allows you to plan your stay à la carte and to save on accommodation and car rental.
Many agencies offer trips to Mahé, which often combine the three granite islands (Mahé, Praslin, La Digue) and a Koranic island, in 10 to 12 days. It is possible to discover Mahé by coastal cruises organized for small groups on board comfortable sailing boats or catamarans. The trips to Mahé are generally oriented more or less towards the beach, nature, diving, hiking and always include a discovery of Victoria and its points of interest.
Renting a car at the airport is the best way to discover the beauty of the island at your own pace and convenience. The road network is of good quality. Be careful however, the roads are often narrow and winding, driving is on the left and pedestrians are numerous, including at night. The French driving license is sufficient locally. It is possible to take cabs in Mahé (price to be negotiated before). Private companies provide catamaran cruises in the archipelago.
