So we have decided that the USA road trip we planned for next year is a bit steep cost wise as has other European weekend breaks in with family and Jamaica in Feb for wedding so have been considering other options.
We DIY’d a Vietnam trip last year and was fabulous.
While checking out YouTube and other sites online have stumbled across the Seychelles. Having been to the Maldives I thought it was a similar ilk - a flop n drop/honeymoon destination with beautiful barefoot resorts and amazing snorkelling but little else.
Just had a look at the Seychelles and was blown away at the beaches, rock formations, wild life, green scenery, hiking trails etc.
Just had a quick recky - for a 10 day trip island hopping between Mahe (5 nights) , Preslin )3 nights) and LaDigue (2 nights) for DH and I -
Flights around 2000 economy class obvs (got tonnes of avois points so can upgrade seats to economy plus- or business class if we want to burn the lot I suppose)
Accommodation all in , mid range self catering /b n b hotels 1000. May splurge on last few days in a luxury resort but see nearer the time .
Ferries between the islands 250 all in
Car hire 400 all in ( in La Digue)
it’s all bikes not cars I believe)
So with flights, accommodation, ferry transfers and car hire that’s coming out at £3650
Even With a healthy daily budget on for food and drink /national park passes/ snorkelling boat trips etc , can’t quite get my head around it being quite so accessible!!
Any tips from anyone who has done similar ??
