Seychelles Islands

“Paradise on Earth” and “Garden of Eden”, are just some of the names associated with the magical island paradise that is Seychelles. Lying in the warm tropical waters of the Indian Ocean, approximately 1600km from Africa’s east coast, this archipelago of 115 mostly uninhabited islands occupies an area almost the size of France, Italy and Spain put together! From the lush mountainous granite Inner Islands of Mahe, Praslin and La Digue to the low-lying coral atolls and reefs of the Outer Islands, Seychelles offers visitors pristine beaches, clear turquoise waters and deliciously warm weather year-round. With each island having its own unique identity and special character, not visit to Seychelles would be complete without experiencing more than just one island.
 
On Mahe, you could go snorkelling in Port Launay, hike in the Morne Seychellois National Park and visit the Botanical Gardens. Head over to Praslin to relax on Anse Lazio, see the giant tortoises on Curieuse and visit the famous Coco de Mer palms of the Vallée de Mai. La Digue is then just a short hop away, where you can unwind on the world-famous Anse Source d'Argent.

Mahe to Praslin

The Cat Cocos high-speed catamarans - Isle of Mahe Ferry & Isle of Praslin Ferry - leave from the Victoria jetty up to 3 times a day and will whisk you from Mahe to Praslin in only 65 minutes!

These modern 36-metre vessels offer both Economy and Business classes, air-conditioned cabins, panoramic views, hostess service*, on-board refreshments* and entertainment and a souvenir boutique.

Next to that, their state-of-the-art 'Ride Control' system will smooth out the ride, even on windier days, ensuring you arrive at your destination refreshed and relaxed.

Praslin to La Digue

Praslin to La Digue

Inter Island Ferry operates a regular daily service from their base of operations at the new ERO Passenger Terminal in Baie Sainte Anne on Praslin’s east coast to the jetty in La Passe on La Digue. Travel in comfort on one of their twin-hulled high-speed catamarans - Cat Rose's and Cat Rose's II - which make light work of the 15-minute crossing between Praslin and La Digue. With a choice of inside and outside seating, you’ll get great views of the islands along with the comfort and safety of a modern vessel.

With up to 7 crossings a day, in both directions, you can be sure there will be a departure time to fit with your Seychelles Island Hopping itinerary.

Praslin to La Digue

Mahe to La Digue

Cat Cocos also operates a once-daily service from Mahe to La Digue aboard their second vessel – Isle of La Digue. Introduced in 2011, this high-speed catamaran now allows travellers to make the journey from Mahe to La Digue without having to change vessels.

Departing from the Victoria jetty every evening, the Isle of La Digue speeds its away across the blue waters of the Indian Ocean to the laid-back paradise island of La Digue, stopping briefly en-route at Baie Sainte Anne in Praslin to let passengers off, before finishing its journey at the La Passe jetty on La Digue.

The same ferry then leaves first thing the following morning, via Praslin, back to Mahe. This is the ideal solution for anyone looking to travel directly from Mahe to La Digue and vice versa.

Seychelles Island Hopping FAQs


Is it easy to island hop in Seychelles?

Seychelles island hopping is easy thanks to an efficient ferry network and many accommodation options.
Each island in Seychelles is unique, and island hopping is the best way to experience what each one has to offer.
Even if visiting for just a week, it's possible to spend a couple of nights on each island, with regular daily ferry services connecting the main island of Mahe with neighbouring Praslin and La Digue. This, together with a wide choice of hotels, guesthouses and resorts, makes Seychelles island hopping a great way to get the most out of a visit to Seychelles.


How do you get between islands in Seychelles?

There are daily ferry services between the islands of Mahe, Praslin and La Digue.
To get from Mahe to Praslin, hop on the Cat Cocos ferry, with up to three daily departures from the Inter Island Quay in Victoria.
Getting from Mahe to La Digue is just as easy with the Cat Cocos ferry as many of their Mahe to Praslin services continue on to La Digue, with just a brief stopover in Praslin.
To travel from Praslin to La Digue, Inter Island Ferry (Cat Rose) operates several daily departures in both directions.
