Practical tips for Seychelles
- The currency is the Seychellois Rupee (SCR); while cards are widely accepted at resorts, always carry cash for beach shacks, small shops, and ferry terminals.
- Renting a car is ideal for exploring Mahé and Praslin, but on laid-back La Digue, bicycles are the primary and most scenic mode of transportation.
- Seychelles is exceptionally safe with low violent crime, but protect reef ecosystems by using only mineral-based, reef-safe sunscreen.
