Lucky enough to be spending 2 weeks in the Seychelles, but need a little help planning your trip?
You’re in the right place!
In this guide, I’m sharing my optimized itinerary to visit the Seychelles in 14 to 15 days and make the absolute most of your stay.
Two weeks in the Seychelles is the ideal amount of time to discover the archipelago. You’ll have enough time to explore the 3 main islands (Mahé, Praslin and La Digue) and enjoy several day trips to the surrounding islets.
To make things easier for you, I’ve put together my best day-by-day itinerary, complete with my practical tips and recommendations. I’ll also share my selection of the best places to stay at each stop.
So, what are the best things to do and see in Seychelles in 2 weeks?
Let’s dive right in!
Visiting Seychelles in 2 Weeks – Step 1: Mahé (2 Days)
To start your 15 days in Seychelles, I recommend spending 2 days on Mahé Island.
Mahé is the main island of the archipelago, and it’s also where the international airport is located. Since this is where you’ll land, it’s the most convenient place to begin your trip.
My suggestion is to spend your first 2 days here, then come back at the end of the itinerary for another 3 days.
Day 1 – Visit Victoria and Beau Vallon Beach
After landing in Mahé and dropping your luggage at your hotel, it’s time to visit Victoria, the capital of Seychelles.
Fun fact: it’s one of the smallest capitals in the world!
Plan around 1.5 hours to explore it on foot.
You can simply wander through the streets — it’s pretty hard to get lost, as it’s so small 😁 — or follow this short walking route if you want to make sure you don’t miss anything:
🔎 Mini Guide: Victoria Walking Tour (1.5 to 2 hours)
- 1) Start at the Clock Tower in the city center, Victoria’s iconic landmark and a miniature replica of London’s Big Ben
- 2) St. Paul’s Cathedral (2-minute walk): the oldest Anglican church in Seychelles
- 3) Revolution Avenue: restaurants and street food
- 4) Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market (3 minutes away): perfect for soaking up the local atmosphere, especially on Saturday mornings
- 5) Cathedral of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception (5 minutes away): the largest Catholic church in the country
- 6) Arul Mihu Navasakthi Vinayagar Hindu Temple (7 minutes away): beautiful, colorful and full of intricate details
- 7) Victoria Botanical Gardens (15-minute walk)
You’re in Seychelles and, let’s be honest, you’re probably dying to see those dream beaches. Don’t worry: just a few kilometers from Victoria, one of the most beautiful beaches in the archipelago is waiting for you to end this first day in style: Beau Vallon Beach!
You’ll need to drive there, and it takes about 15 minutes.
My Tip
If you still have some energy at the end of the day, you can also discover Anse Major Beach nearby.
You can reach it on foot from the Bel Ombre trail, about 3 km from Beau Vallon Beach. Park your car, follow the signposted trail, and walk for around 45 minutes to reach Anse Major.
Spend your first night in Mahé.
My Tip
Remember to book your excursions in advance, especially during high season!
Another great idea for this day around Victoria is the guided hike along the coastal trail to Anse Major.
This is a full-day off-the-beaten-path excursion, with a very friendly guide who will show you the most beautiful viewpoints and teach you plenty of interesting things about the local flora and fauna.
Book your guided hike to Anse Major directly using this button:
Day 2 – Day Trip to Baie Ternay Marine Park
The next day, it’s time for a trip into the turquoise lagoon!
During your 2 weeks in Seychelles, don’t miss the chance to explore Baie Ternay Marine Park, located in the northwest of Mahé Island.
Accessible only by boat through organized excursions, this protected area is a little paradise for snorkeling and diving lovers.
The water here is incredibly clear, filled with tropical fish and colorful coral. You can even often spot sea turtles — the dream 🤩.
You can book this trip with local operators in Beau Vallon. It’s often combined with a beach barbecue and a cruise along the northwest coast of the island, passing by Anse Major, with several swimming and snorkeling stops in the best spots.
Plan a full day for this excursion, usually from 10 am to 4 pm.
Personally, I did the catamaran tour with Creole Travel, and I warmly recommend them: everything was perfectly organized, with a super friendly crew.
Plus, you can book it easily online by clicking below — don’t wait too long, as this tour is very popular!
Where to Stay in Mahé?
Planning your 2 weeks in Seychelles also means finding the best accommodation on each island!
To save you time, here is my selection of the best places to stay in Mahé, from budget-friendly to luxury:
Cap Sud Self-Catering – South Mahé, local charm and comfort
This holiday home is located just a few steps from Turtle Bay Beach, in the south of Mahé. It offers tasteful decor, mountain views, a lovely terrace, plus a living room and fully equipped kitchen. The place is spotlessly clean and the hosts are very welcoming. Perfect for an independent stay as a couple or family.
Price: Around €110 per night for 2 to 6 people.
Creole Pearl – Victoria, practical and modern
A modern apartment with sea views, ideally located in Victoria for enjoying shops, restaurants and the port. You’ll find a large balcony, a cozy living room, an equipped kitchen and a barbecue, with spectacular views of the ocean. It can accommodate up to 6 people.
Price: From €169 per night for 2 people.
Valmer Resort & Spa – Ocean views and peaceful setting
In Beau Vallon, this 3-star hotel is tucked away in a tropical garden overlooking Baie Lazare. Spacious and elegant rooms, a restaurant, a bar and a peaceful atmosphere close to the beach.
Price: From €300 for a double room.
Constance Ephelia – West coast, luxury and nature
Located on the west coast, this 5-star resort offers a lush setting facing the Indian Ocean. Luxurious suites and villas with private gardens, several pools, 5 restaurants, 6 bars, a spa and shops, just 5 minutes from Morne Seychellois National Park.

Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa – Romantic hillside luxury
This stunning 5-star resort in the north of the island offers private villas with balconies, four-poster beds and spa baths, all with breathtaking views over the Indian Ocean.

Step 2: Escape to Silhouette Island (2 Days)
For the next part of this 2-week Seychelles itinerary, I suggest a 48-hour getaway to Silhouette Island, located in the ocean about 20 km northwest of Mahé.
Unspoiled and authentic, Silhouette is exactly what you imagine when dreaming of a trip to Seychelles: a picture-perfect setting far from the crowds, with a mix of luxury and eco-tourism.
If you want to make your trip feel truly special, with something you won’t experience everywhere, Silhouette is the perfect place. It will add an exclusive, high-end touch to your 15 days in Seychelles.
There are no roads or cars on Silhouette Island. You can only get around on foot along a few trails, or using the electric buggies from Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa, the island’s main hotel.
You have 2 options to reach Silhouette from Mahé:
- by boat (45-minute crossing)
- or by helicopter (15 minutes).
Whether you choose the boat or helicopter, the transfer from Mahé must be booked directly through your accommodation on Silhouette.
Day 3 – Hiking from La Passe
Early on day 3, leave Mahé and arrive on this new paradise island.
Settle into your hotel, then get ready to explore the island on foot. All hikes on Silhouette start from La Passe, the small main village.
Here are the routes I recommend:
- Grand Barbe Trail: around 4 hours of hiking through lush tropical forest, with panoramic ocean views. I strongly recommend taking a guide, as this is quite a difficult hike and not everything is clearly marked.
- Anse Mondon: an easy 2-hour walk to reach a wild, secluded beach.
- Mont Dauban Hike: the highest point on the island (740 m). This is a fairly challenging hike with breathtaking views, and it should absolutely be done with a guide booked through your hotel.
Day 4 – Relax on the Beach
If you’re in Seychelles, it’s also to simply enjoy the paradise setting and do absolutely nothing, right?
Silhouette is perfect for that! So use this 4th day to laze on your hotel beach, or explore the island’s other heavenly beaches.
The most beautiful beaches to see on Silhouette:
- Anse Mondon: a secret, wild beach that you have to earn!
Allow around 2 hours of walking from Baie Cipailles, with nearly 400 m of elevation gain over 3 km of trail, sometimes steep and slippery.
The trail starts at the end of Baie Cipailles Beach. You can access it either by crossing the Hilton hotel or by walking along Anse La Passe Beach at low tide.
Along the way, signs every 500 m will guide you. Bring good shoes, water and a little energy: your efforts will be rewarded with a beach that is often deserted and absolutely stunning.
- Anse Patates: a superb secluded beach bordered by mangroves, where absolute calm reigns.
Only guests from nearby resorts, especially La Belle Tortue and Hilton Labriz, usually visit it, which gives it a very intimate atmosphere. Located on the southeast coast, near Anse Lascars, it is accessible on foot from your accommodation.
Be careful, though: the water is deep here, and swimming is only safe at low tide.
- Anse Lascars: a wild-looking beach, protected by rocks and often deserted, where you’ll feel like Robinson Crusoe.
It’s easy to reach on foot from La Passe. You’ll find a unique atmosphere mixing raw nature and history, as the beach is home to around thirty old sailors’ graves.
The sea can be rough here, with strong waves, especially at high tide. It’s ideal for admiring the scenery, but not for swimming.
Good to Know
Beyond its paradise beaches and wild trails, Silhouette is also home to a few historical remains. In La Passe, you’ll find the Dauban family mausoleum. The Dauban family owned the island in the 19th century and played an important role in Silhouette’s history, especially through vanilla and copra production.
The mausoleum, with its neoclassical style and white columns, contrasts beautifully with the surrounding tropical vegetation. It’s a reminder that Seychelles isn’t only a dream beach destination, but also an archipelago with a strong identity and history.
Where to Stay on Silhouette Island?
Very little developed — and honestly, that’s part of its charm — Silhouette has only 2 hotels, making it a particularly exclusive destination. You can choose between:
Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa (5 stars): This is the island’s most iconic address. A large resort nestled between lush jungle and white sand beach. You’ll find beautiful villas, some with private pools, a renowned spa and several excellent restaurants. Perfect for a luxury and relaxation stay, with all the high-end services you’d expect from an international hotel.
La Belle Tortue: A more intimate address, perfect if you’re looking for peace and authenticity. This charming small Creole-style lodge offers individual beachfront accommodations. The atmosphere is much more confidential than at the Hilton, with gourmet cuisine based on fresh local products.
2 Weeks in Seychelles – Step 3: Praslin (4 Days)
You simply can’t visit Seychelles in 15 days without stopping on Praslin!
It’s the second most developed island in the archipelago, and I recommend spending 4 days here to explore it properly.
To get there, ferry transfers run daily from Mahé.
There are so many beautiful things to see in Praslin: beaches, fish-filled lagoons, and of course the famous Vallée de Mai, a nature reserve listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Day 5 – Transfer to Praslin + Vallée de Mai + Anse Lazio
On the morning of day 5, leave Silhouette and return to Mahé, then take a ferry to Praslin.
Good to KnowSome hotels offer private helicopter transfers directly from Silhouette to Praslin. For example, from La Belle Tortue, you can travel nonstop to prestigious properties such as Le Château de Feuilles or Le Domaine de l’Orangeraie.
Drop off your luggage at your accommodation, then head to Vallée de Mai, Praslin’s natural treasure.
This one-of-a-kind primary forest, listed as a UNESCO site, is the sanctuary of the famous coco de mer, locally nicknamed “coco-fesse”.
As you walk along the main trail — allow around 1.5 hours at an easy pace — you’ll step into a mystical atmosphere: giant palms, soft filtered light, rustling leaves and tropical birdsong.
With a bit of luck, you may spot the shy Seychelles black parrot, a rare species endemic to Praslin.
My TipIf this is your first visit, I recommend choosing the guided tour of the reserve. Local guides know the flora and fauna perfectly and will show you details you’d never notice on your own.
Click here to easily book your guided tour of Vallée de Mai + round-trip transfer.
ℹ️ Practical info
- Entrance fee: around 450 SCR (≈ €25)
- Opening hours: 8:30 am – 4:30 pm
- Guided tours are usually offered at 9 am and 2 pm
After this jungle escape, I suggest ending the day on one of the most beautiful beaches in Seychelles — and even in the world! — Anse Lazio, located about 30 minutes from Vallée de Mai.
Immaculate white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water and granite boulders in the background… it doesn’t get much more postcard-perfect than this!
It’s a great place for swimming, snorkeling or simply watching the sunset, which is especially spectacular here. A few beach restaurants and bars nearby allow you to linger a little longer.
My Tip
For the more adventurous, a walking trail connects Anse Lazio to Anse Georgette, another stunning and much wilder beach. Allow around 45 minutes on foot through the vegetation, with a beautiful view over the bay along the way. The trail starts at the top of Anse Lazio beach car park.
My TipAnother tip: if you like being guided, I recommend this organized excursion combining:
- a guided tour of Vallée de Mai (around 2 hours)
- a walk around Côte d’Or to discover the museum, craft market and beach (45 minutes)
- and finally free time on the stunning Anse Lazio Beach (3 to 4 hours)
Departure is scheduled at 10 am, with a return around 4 pm. All this from only €64!

Day 6 – Cousin Island Trip + Fond Ferdinand Nature Reserve
For day 6 of your 2 weeks in Seychelles, it’s time to discover another small Seychellois island!
If you love birds and untouched nature, a trip to Cousin Island is a must.
Accessible by boat from Praslin, this protected islet is a true bird sanctuary. You can see impressive colonies of terns and noddies, among others.
You may also spot rare species such as the Seychelles warbler, Seychelles fody, Seychelles magpie-robin and even the hawksbill turtle.
Because it is strictly protected, access to Cousin Island is only possible through organized excursions. The good thing is that you’ll enjoy a very interesting guided visit and learn a lot about the local wildlife and vegetation.
If you’d rather stay on land that day, here’s an alternative: visiting Fond Ferdinand Nature Reserve.
Less famous than Vallée de Mai, Fond Ferdinand is just as beautiful and often less crowded!
The walk takes you through a tropical forest rich in coco de mer palms, palm trees and birds, with splendid views over the neighboring islands. Entrance is 300 rupees, around €16 per adult.
Guided tours are offered daily, usually at 9:30 am, 11 am and 1 pm. Book your guide by clicking here.
The climb requires a bit of effort, but the reward is magical: a 360° panorama over Praslin, La Digue and Curieuse.
My Tip
Right opposite Fond Ferdinand, don’t miss the small wild beach of Anse Marie Louise, usually deserted and definitely worth a look!
Day 7 – Cruise to Curieuse and Saint Pierre Islands
It would be a shame to miss the Curieuse and Saint Pierre excursion during your 2 weeks in Seychelles.
This is really THE boat trip to do from Praslin!
Saint Pierre Islet is considered one of the most beautiful snorkeling spots in Seychelles. Its reefs are full of colorful tropical fish, and it’s not unusual to spot sea turtles there!
As for Curieuse, it’s a protected island and part of the marine national park. The main attraction here is the Aldabra giant tortoises, which you can observe roaming freely, especially near Anse Laraie Beach.
You can also discover an old leprosarium turned into a museum, walk through the mangrove and enjoy beautifully preserved nature.
I especially recommend the excursion organized by Angel Tours, which I had the chance to do in July 2025 and absolutely loved.
Here’s what to expect:
- boarding at Grand Anse around 9 am on a small motorboat
- a stop at Anse Georgette Beach
- a second stop at Saint Pierre Islet for snorkeling at 2 different spots
- landing on Curieuse Island: meeting the giant tortoises, barbecue lunch, mangrove hike + free time on the beach
- return to Grand Anse around 4 pm
This excursion is very popular, so don’t wait too long to book your spots! Just click below:
Day 8 – Côte d’Or Beach and Baie Sainte Anne
After several busy days filled with discoveries and excursions, I think it’s a good idea to slow down and enjoy Praslin’s gentle atmosphere.
For day 8, I suggest visiting Côte d’Or Beach, on the east coast. It’s also known as Anse Volbert.
It’s one of the most beautiful beaches in Praslin, loved for its calm waters, which are perfect for relaxed family beach days.
If sunbathing isn’t really your thing, you can try a few water activities such as paddleboarding or kayaking.
Along the beach, you’ll also find small cafés and restaurants where you can have lunch with your feet in the sand. I recommend Leo’s Food Bus for street food, and Le Saint-Pierre if you’re looking for something more upscale.
In the afternoon, head to Baie Sainte Anne, about 10 minutes away by car. This is the local heart of Praslin, alive with fishermen and boat crossings to La Digue.
You can watch the harbor activity, chat with locals, or browse small shops and typical markets. It’s a great chance to see a more authentic side of the island, far from the postcard views.
Where to Stay in Praslin?
To fully enjoy your 4 days in Praslin, it’s important to choose accommodation that matches your travel style and budget. Good news: the island offers a wide range of options, from small family guesthouses to prestigious resorts.
To help you choose, here is my selection of the best places to stay in Praslin:
Seashell Beach Villa
Located in Grand Anse, this property offers spacious, fully equipped apartments with kitchen, living room and terrace, plus a small pool. The beach is right across the road, perfect for morning swims and sunsets. Ideal for couples or families looking for independence and comfort.
👉 From €175 per night, for up to 4 people.
Le Chevalier Bay Guesthouse
A charming guesthouse just steps from Anse Lazio. The rooms are simple and comfortable, and the welcome is super warm. The big plus: you’re just a few meters from one of Praslin’s most beautiful beaches!
👉 From €319 per night in a double room.
Coco de Mer Hotel & Black Parrot Suites
A 4-star hotel set right by the sea, with 2 pools, a spa, sea-view rooms and plenty of activities such as kayaking, diving and paddleboarding. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing.
👉 From €375 per night for two.
Le Château de Feuilles
A small intimate gem with only 9 suites and villas. Panoramic views, hot tub, fine dining and high-end service: the perfect address for a romantic escape.
👉 Expect to pay at least €400 per night for two.
Constance Lemuria
The most prestigious address in Praslin. A luxury resort with an 18-hole golf course, refined spa, several restaurants and, above all, exclusive access to the stunning Anse Georgette Beach. An unforgettable experience guaranteed.

➡️ See all available accommodations in Praslin for your travel dates
Step 4: La Digue (4 Days)
For this next step of your 15 days in Seychelles, head to the third main island and one of the absolute must-sees in Seychelles: La Digue!
Here, authenticity is the key word, and almost every journey is done by bicycle. That’s the island’s signature, and a huge part of its charm 🙂
I recommend staying here for 4 full days to really enjoy it.
Day 9 – Transfer to La Digue + East Coast Beaches
Leave Praslin in the morning from Baie Sainte Anne port and head straight to La Digue. The journey is very quick: around 15 to 20 minutes by ferry. You’ll arrive at La Passe harbor.
Go to your accommodation to drop off your bags — I’ll share my selection of the best places to stay in La Digue below — then get ready to discover the beaches on the east coast.
Rent a bike — most accommodations offer them, and there are also rental shops near the port — then cycle for 20 to 30 minutes from La Passe to reach:
- Grand Anse, with coconut trees, waves and golden sand,
- then Petite Anse, accessible via a small trail from Grand Anse (10 to 15 minutes), quieter and perfect for relaxing.
These beaches have a wild, less touristy atmosphere, perfect for slowing down after the previous busy excursion days. However, swimming is dangerous on both beaches because of the currents ⚠️
In the evening, enjoy the sunset from the beach, or have a quiet dinner in one of the seaside restaurants near La Passe.
Day 10 – Explore the Island by Bike
As you’ve probably understood by now, on La Digue, the bicycle is king! There are no cars here, and honestly, it feels amazing. So for this 10th day in Seychelles, I suggest exploring this unique island a little more deeply by bike!
Here’s an itinerary idea to follow:
Head toward the west coast of the island, stopping first at Anse Sévère, then at Anse Patate. These beaches are beautiful, swimming is possible depending on conditions, and the vibe is super relaxed.
Continue to L’Union Estate. Here’s what you can see on the estate:
- coconut and vanilla plantations
- the old copra mill
- the old cemetery
- the Plantation House.
End on a high note with the famous Anse Source d’Argent, the archipelago’s legendary beach, with huge granite boulders, pale sand and turquoise water. This beach is one of the places you simply can’t miss on a trip to Seychelles.
My Tip
If you can, visit Anse Source d’Argent in the late afternoon. The soft light and smaller crowds make the place even more magical!
My Tip
If you prefer to visit La Digue in just one day, you can book this excursion from Mahé, which includes:
- the round-trip Mahé-La Digue ferry crossing, departing at 8 am and returning at 4 pm
- bike rental to explore La Digue freely
- the entrance ticket to L’Union Estate Park
Click here to check details and book your day trip to La Digue.
Day 11 – Excursion to the Neighboring Islands (Félicité, Coco, Sister Islands)
You can’t stay on La Digue without exploring the nearby islands! The most popular excursion combines several islets: Félicité, Coco and the Sister Islands (Petite and Grande Sœur).
You’ll leave by catamaran from La Digue. The first stop is Grande Sœur Island, a private island with a dream setting, surrounded by turquoise water where turtles are regularly spotted while snorkeling. Petite Sœur, just next door, is wilder and rarely accessible, but it’s still worth seeing from the boat.
Then you’ll head to Coco Island, a tiny granite island surrounded by coral reefs. It’s one of the best snorkeling spots in Seychelles. You’ll also get to visit its small natural park.
After that, the day continues on Félicité Island, larger and also stunning, with beautiful beaches and reefs full of colorful fish.
The cherry on top: lunch on board the catamaran is included.
Book your catamaran cruise to Félicité, Sister and Coco islands directly by clicking below:
Day 12 – Nid d’Aigle Hike
For your last day on La Digue, it’s time for a bit of exercise with the climb to Nid d’Aigle, the island’s highest point.
The trail starts from the center, following the road marked “Belle Vue”, or directly from the road that climbs inland. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours uphill, depending on your pace.
The hike takes you through dense tropical vegetation, with a few steep but manageable sections. At some point, you’ll reach Belle Vue Snack, where you can take a break and enjoy a drink with a superb ocean view.
Continue for another 15 minutes and you’ll reach the summit: the highest point of La Digue, at almost 333 m. The reward? An incredible panoramic view over Praslin, Félicité, Marianne and the whole coast of La Digue.
I recommend starting early in the morning to avoid the heat. Bring enough water, a hat, good walking shoes, and don’t forget mosquito repellent!
My Tip
If you’re not really into hiking, you can still take a taxi up to Belle Vue Snack and enjoy the view without doing the full climb on foot.
Where to Stay on La Digue?
La Digue is small and easy to get around by bike, so you can stay almost anywhere.
The atmosphere here is more about small local addresses: guesthouses, rentals and family-run hotels.
Here is my selection of the best places to stay on La Digue:
Kot Babi Guesthouse
A family guesthouse close to the port and Anse La Réunion, with a relaxed atmosphere, simple but comfortable rooms, homemade breakfast and a lovely tropical garden.
Price: from €90 per night.
La Digue Holiday Villa
An independent villa in the heart of the island, with an equipped kitchen, large terrace and lush garden. A great option if you want space, comfort and independence.
Price: from around €225 per night, depending on the season.
Le Repaire Boutique Hotel
A charming boutique hotel with beautiful decor, a peaceful setting and a well-known Italian restaurant. Perfect if you want a comfortable stay with a bit more style.
Price: from around €300 per night for 2 people.
Le Domaine de l’Orangeraie
One of the most beautiful hotels on La Digue, with gorgeous villas, a spa, a swimming pool and a restaurant facing the sea. A perfect choice for a more luxurious stay.

➡️ See all available accommodations on La Digue for your travel dates
Step 5: Back to Mahé (3 Days)
Day 13 – Morne Seychellois National Park
For this final part of your 2-week Seychelles itinerary, head back to Mahé, where you’ll spend your last 3 days.
After several days exploring beaches and lagoons, I suggest changing the scenery a little with a day in Morne Seychellois National Park, the largest protected area in Seychelles.
This park covers a large part of Mahé and offers a completely different side of the island: tropical forest, mountain trails, misty viewpoints and a lush, wild atmosphere.
There are several hiking trails depending on your level and motivation:
- Morne Blanc Trail: the most famous and one of the most rewarding. Allow around 45 minutes to 1 hour uphill to reach a stunning viewpoint over the west coast.
- Copolia Trail: a beautiful hike with granite scenery and panoramic views over Victoria and the nearby islands.
- Tea Factory Trail: an easier option, perfect if you want a shorter walk combined with lovely views.
I recommend going in the morning, when it’s cooler and the views are usually clearer. Bring water, good shoes and mosquito repellent.
My Tip
If you don’t want to hike on your own, you can book a guided hike in Morne Seychellois National Park. It’s the best way to learn more about the island’s endemic plants, birds and hidden viewpoints.
Day 14 – Snorkeling and Diving in Sainte Anne Marine Park
For day 14, head out to discover Sainte Anne Marine National Park, located just off Mahé.
This protected marine park is a true underwater paradise. You can reach it by water taxi or through an organized snorkeling or diving excursion.
The classic tour includes several stops in the lagoons around Sainte Anne, Moyenne, Longue and Cerf islands.
Underwater, it’s a real festival: schools of tropical fish, colorful corals, turtles, and sometimes even dolphins if you’re lucky. For certified divers, it’s an exceptional spot with beautiful underwater landscapes. If you’re snorkeling, you’ll already see plenty of marine life.
Some excursions include a barbecue or Creole lunch on Moyenne Island, where you can also see giant tortoises roaming freely.
Here are the excursions I recommend, which you can book directly through the following links:
- the catamaran cruise in Sainte Anne Marine Park – Full day – €140 per person – Click here to book your spot
- the Sainte Anne glass-bottom boat tour – Full day – €78 per person – Click here to book

That gives you plenty to enjoy on day 14 before starting your final day!
Day 15 – Port Launay
For the last day of this 2-week Seychelles itinerary, I suggest discovering another stunning beach in Mahé — one of my favorites on the island: Port Launay Beach.
Located on the northwest coast, it borders Constance Ephelia Resort but remains open to everyone.
Here, the water is incredibly calm and clear, perfect for swimming or snorkeling along the rocks. The sunsets are also gorgeous, with the sky turning orange and pink above the ocean.
Enjoy this last day with no stress. Rent a paddleboard, take a few photos, or simply lay down your towel and relax before heading home. It’s the perfect place to say goodbye to Seychelles.
And if you want a bit more excitement to end your 15 days in Seychelles, I recommend this great organized day trip, which includes:
- a zipline course above Port Launay, with spectacular views over the bay
- free time on Port Launay Beach: swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, surfing or relaxing…
- a stop at Sauzier Waterfall, with the option to swim in the natural pool
Book this full-day excursion combining ziplining + Port Launay Beach + Sauzier Waterfall by clicking below:
FAQ -14 Days in Seychelles
What is the best 14-day Seychelles itinerary?
The best 14-day Seychelles itinerary usually includes a few days on Mahé, 4 days in Praslin, 4 days in La Digue, and, if your budget allows, a short stay on Silhouette Island. This gives you a great mix of beaches, hikes, snorkeling spots, boat trips and authentic island life.
To make the most of your trip without spending hours planning, you can simply follow the day-by-day itinerary I share in this guide.
How many islands can you visit in Seychelles in 2 weeks?
In 2 weeks in Seychelles, you can comfortably visit the 3 main islands: Mahé, Praslin, La Digue . You can also add several day trips to smaller islands and islets, such as Silhouette, Curieuse, Saint Pierre, Cousin Island, Félicité, Coco Island and the Sister Islands.
Do you need to rent a car for a 2-week Seychelles trip?
Renting a car is very useful on Mahé and Praslin, as it allows you to explore the beaches, viewpoints and natural sites at your own pace. On La Digue, you don’t need a car: the island is small and most travelers get around by bicycle. For Silhouette Island, transfers and transportation are usually organized by your hotel.
Is it better to stay on Mahé, Praslin or La Digue?
For a first trip to Seychelles, the best option is to split your stay between Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. Mahé is great for hiking, beaches and practical connections, Praslin is ideal for beautiful beaches and island excursions, while La Digue offers a more peaceful and authentic atmosphere, with most visits done by bicycle.
And there you have it — you now have a complete itinerary to enjoy 15 days in Seychelles! I hope this guide helps you plan your trip and make the most of it.
