Where is the best diving and snorkeling
Seychelles is one of the best diving and snorkeling destinations in the world. Warm waters are rich in colorful fish and corals. Snorkeling and diving in the paradise islands is possible everywhere.
The most famous diving site is considered to be Aldabra Atoll, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. More than 70 dive sites are located near Mahe Island. The most popular of them are the Trompeuse Rocks, the place where the English tanker - The Ennerdale wreck, sank, and the amazing fiery corals - Brissare Rocks.
Good for snorkeling are the blue safe lagoons of Desroches Island, Malgache Bank, La Digue Island, Dragon's Teeth, Recife Island, Trompeuse Rocks, Blanchisseuse and Biter Rock.
Where to have an inexpensive vacation
It is not easy to find a resort where it is better for those who like to have a rest to save money in the Seychelles. Comfortable hotels are expensive and not everyone can afford.
The larger and more lively the island, the better the infrastructure there, the greater the choice of budget housing, the higher the competition and, as a consequence, the lower prices for products and services. If you want to save money, stay in guest houses or rent an apartment with a kitchen and cook yourself. Be aware that outlying islands may not have supermarkets or markets. You will have to eat in a cafe, and the costs will rise.
To spend less money, come during the off-season. The lion's share of the cost goes to the flight. Book your tickets a few months before your trip when they cost 30-50% less.
