Visitors to beautiful Seychelles will have the opportunity to engage in several sports and leisure activities such as diving, sailing, hiking, visiting Praslin and so on as described below.
Diving will be a rewarding activity in Seychelles as these islands feature outstanding dive sites that may be considered to rank amongst the loveliest in the world. Both skilled divers, as well as novices, will be able to enjoy satisfying diving experiences since the local waters will offer captivating discoveries on almost every dive. On your dives in Seychelles, you will encounter attractive corals, schools of vibrantly coloured fish and unusual sponges; during periods when the population of plankton is high, you will have the opportunity to spot whale sharks and mantas too. You will also be able to experience night-time diving in these islands.
Sailing will be another wonderful leisure activity in Seychelles. In fact, this destination offers an array of islands that are worth experiencing, some visitors would find it hard to choose exactly where they should spend their holiday. The obvious solution would be to undertake a cruise that will take you to a selection of islands in Seychelles. On such a cruise, you will have the chance to go diving, bask beneath the warm sun, enjoy the spectacular views and just relax amidst the picturesque surroundings. You may also head out on your own, but many of the areas surrounding the Outer Islands will only be suitable for captains with local experience.
Seychelles also offers great opportunities for hiking for visitors who would like to explore the appealing interiors of the islands. You will find that the major islands feature a host of interesting hiking paths, many of which have been conveniently signposted. Hiking in Seychelles would be especially rewarding in the period extending from June through October when the least humidity could be expected. For some trails, it would be prudent to obtain the services of a guide who may also provide information about the local fauna and flora.
Your visit to Seychelles would not be complete without experiencing the appealing island of Praslin. One of the highlights of this island would be the Vallee de Mai Nature Reserve which has been identified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This protected reserve contains many interesting kinds of fauna and flora, such as the Seychelles black parrot and the Coco de Mer tree which brings forth the world's biggest seed. You will also find splendid beaches on the island to unwind in. An accommodation choice to consider from which you could plan a visit to this island and enjoy the things to do in Praslin would be the pleasingly located Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas.
The water sport of stand-up paddleboarding would be another great activity to enjoy in Seychelles. If you desire to spend some time on your own whilst also taking in the beautiful scenery, stand-up paddleboarding will not disappoint. If you are new to this water activity, you may avail yourself of some expert instruction after which you will be able to venture into the waters at a pace that suits you.
