Best time of year to visit the Seychelles
The best time of year to visit Seychelles is the winter months, as this is the time that is typically drier and less windy than other months of the year. The Seychelles enjoys a tropical climate, characterised by year-round high temperatures, around 30°C (86°F) with a mixture of sunshine and tropical showers, and sea breezes which disperse the humidity. Thanks to its equatorial location, the Seychelles does not experience much variation, and the weather is ideal all year round for a getaway.
Airports available for private jet charter flights
The primary airport in the Seychelles for private jet charters is Seychelles International Airport (SEZ/FSIA), located 15 minutes away from the capital. As it is a highly sought-after destination, the airport has several FBOs offering more private arrival and departure procedures for those taking a private jet.

What to experience in the Seychelles
Meet and Greet the Giant Tortoises of Seychelles
David Attenborough describes this experience as one of the world's wonders—interacting with giant tortoises, some over 100 years old, is truly one of the most incredible activities in Seychelles. These gentle creatures can be seen on Curieuse Island, La Digue, and Aldabra. The tortoise sanctuary on Curieuse Island, located just over a kilometer from Praslin Island, is the easiest to access. You can choose from various boats offering island-hopping services or select a full-day package to explore the nearby islands.
Explore a Hike Trail
The island’s mountainous terrain presents plenty of hiking opportunities, and exploring some of the most breathtaking trails is considered to be one of the best things to do in Seychelles. The Copolia Trail in Mahe takes you on a route lined with unusual carnivorous plants, and it ends with glorious views of the waters and surrounding islands, making it a heady affair for all your senses. The Morne Blanc Trail is slightly more challenging, but the views from the top are spectacular.
