The archipelago is made up of some 155 islands many of which are uninhabited. They are home to an incredible range of beautiful environments, from tall granite mountains, jungles, coral reefs, and pristine beaches to crystal blue seas, and waterfalls. These diverse environments are teeming with life and many of the species are endemic to the island nation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The nation also has a rich and interesting history. The islands remained undiscovered for a long time and were only first seen by Vasco De Gama when his fleet sailed through the Indian Ocean in 1503. They remained uninhabited until 1756 when the French took over, even though the British first landed there in 1609. The French didn\u2019t have control for long though, and the Brits came back and took over in 1794.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is easy to get to Seychelles. You can get a direct flight from Mumbai (four-hour flight time), Paris, or London or catch one of the daily flights from a number of the major middle eastern hubs. All international flights go to Mahe Island, the main island of the nation, home to the capital Victoria. From Mahe, you can catch boats or internal flights to other islands.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Memorable_Things_to_Do_in_Seychelles\"><\/span>Memorable Things to Do in Seychelles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are some incredible experiences to be had at this destination and here are our top choices that you will never forget.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Around_Mahe\"><\/span>Around Mahe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_Into_The_History_Of_Mahe\"><\/span>Step Into The History Of Mahe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The historical sites of the nation are focused around the city of Victoria, the nation&#8217;s capital. You can visit old colonial homes, ancient planter houses, museums, catholic churches, Hindu temples, and more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are three of the top sites that should not be missed in <a href=\"https:\/\/theadventourist.com\/things-do-in-mahe-seychelles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mah\u00e9<\/a>. The first is a fountain that was made for Queen Victoria in the year 1900 called \u2018<strong>Jubilee De Diamond<\/strong>\u2019 which is now a national monument. The second is the <strong>Seychelles Natural History Museum<\/strong> which is found inside an old colonial house. The museum takes you through the history of the settlement of Seychelles and its unique flora and fauna.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And the last is the <strong>Jardin Du Roi Spice Garden<\/strong>. It is actually a museum and not a garden and is set in a reconstructed planters house from the 18th century. Here you can soak in a little history and culture and learn about the lives of slaves and colonists in the 18th and 18th centuries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do read: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/aboriginal-australians-culture-kununurra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Uncovering Aboriginal Australians Culture in Kununurra<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_involved_in_the_local_culture\"><\/span>Get involved in the local culture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The people of the island nation are Creole, the origin of which is a mixture of African and Malagasy (from Madagascar). Today, however, it has been mixed up with Chinese, French, English, and Indian culture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Creole people are happy, kind, and super laid back, island-style. They love music, color, rum, and the ocean of course. If you are lucky enough to visit in October, you may come across the Creole Festival in Mahe. The streets fill with music, color, and dancing as the carnival brings the island of Mahe to life. It\u2019s an awesome party and a great way to immerse yourself in Creole culture and have a good time doing it.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taste_some_of_the_local_cuisines\"><\/span>Taste some of the local cuisines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While you\u2019re in the island nation you will not be able to escape without trying the local Creole food. The flavors have influences from around the globe and are made of Indian, French, Chines, and English cooking styles. It\u2019s delicious and you will never forget your first Creole dish. The meals are mainly made up of local fruits, fresh seafood, spicy curries, and the odd fruit bat. I\u2019m not joking, fruit bat curry is a delicacy in the island nation but is hard to find these days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Creole cuisine is found everywhere on most islands, you will not have to look far to find it. In fact, your hotel will probably serve it too. Some of the yummiest dishes to try are smoked fish and green papaya salad, grilled bread-fruit, octopus and coconut curry, and freshly grilled fish wrapped in banana leaves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do read: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/whistler-canada-things-to-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Whistler Canada &#8211; Things to do in Ski Town of British Columbia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stroll_down_the_beaches_%E2%80%93_Best_of_things_to_do_in_Seychelles\"><\/span>Stroll down the beaches &#8211; Best of things to do in Seychelles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Did you know that Seychelles is home to the two most photogenic beaches in the world?

So no matter where the beach is, you are allowed to be on it. One of the best things about the beaches is that there is no one on them, well not nobody, but they are not busy by anyone&#8217;s standards. There are so many to choose from and, if you get off the normal routes for a little adventure, you could find yourself on your own little slice of paradise with a beach to yourself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When you walk through the jungle and out onto the fine white sand, you realize why they are said to be so stunning. The water is warm, crystal clear, and every shade of blue. The beach is fringed by palm trees, jungle, and granite boulders and it gives you a notion that you have stepped back in time.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_a_peek_under_the_sea\"><\/span>Take a peek under the sea<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Snorkeling or diving at Sainte-Anne Marine National Park is out of this world. The marine park is a short boat ride from Mahe and is only accessible by sea. It is made up of 6 different islands and was the first southwest Indian Ocean marine protected area when it was first established in 1973.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The marine park holds a unique concentration of ecosystems inside it. The coral gardens are lush and protected, it also has the largest area of seagrass meadows in the island nation. While swimming around in the gin-clear warm waters you can see a huge number of fish species, green turtles, hawksbill turtles, stunning coral, and manta rays.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The best time to see manta rays is between April and December. They\u2019re attracted to the area due to the large amounts of plankton the reef produces. Swimming with a manta ray is quite unforgettable, they are such gracious and curious creatures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do read: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/peranakan-museum-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Peranakan Museum &#8211; Celebrating the Diversity of Singapore<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Robinson_Crusoe_Adventure_Cruise\"><\/span>Robinson Crusoe Adventure Cruise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Opelzir catamaran offers a day of island hopping around the islands close to Mahe.

The most famous of the endemic birds are the black paradise flycatcher, the blue pigeon, and the <strong>national bird<\/strong>, the <strong>Seychelles black parrot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sea birds include red-footed boobies, frigate birds, and a lot of turns while the most sought-after migratory birds are whimbrels, large flocks of crab plovers, and sand plovers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bird Island, aptly named, is an excellent place to see birdlife. It was designated a wildlife sanctuary in 1986 and since has become a refuge for a huge amount of species. It is home to a huge colony of sooty turns as well as land, sea, and shorebirds that call it home. Bird Island is a short flight from Mahe and there is a beautiful lodge to stay in whilst you are there. The island isn\u2019t just home to birds, there are beautiful beaches to discover, turtles hatching, and some great snorkeling to explore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Aride Island is the northernmost island of the nation and is famous for seabirds. It holds one of the most important populations of sea birds in the Indian Ocean with more breeding species than any other island. It is completely uninhabited outside of the staff that works there in conservation.
