Mahé, Praslin and La Digue: rupees, granite beaches, ferry times, traveler tips, and mobile data via eSIM.
Seychelles is granite that forgot to be a continent: Mahé with Victoria and Beau Vallon, Praslin with Anse Lazio and the Vallée de Mai, La Digue with bicycles and Anse Source d'Argent. The rupee (SCR) is the money. Creole, English and French share the same minibus. This is not a hop-on hop-off archipelago; it is a ferry ticket and a weather window.
Cat Cocos and the other inter-island boats are the public spine. La Digue does not want your hire car — it wants a bike and patience for ox-carts on the road to the beach. The Vallée de Mai is a palm forest with a ticket, not a roadside copse. Fish curry, breadfruit and a grilled jobfish will do more for the week than another hotel buffet lap.
April to May and October to November sit between the monsoons and are often the calmer seas. The southeast trades from May to September can fluff the east-facing beaches and bless the west. Summer cyclone risk is a real forecast, not a mood. Pack reef shoes; the granite is beautiful and unforgiving on bare feet.

Seychelles에 가 본 사람들이 남긴 실제 조언을 팀이 엄선하고 원문 링크와 함께 제공합니다.
Hire a bike near the jetty, carry water, and accept that Anse Source d'Argent is a park ticket plus sand through the rocks. A car is the wrong fantasy.
The coco de mer is the celebrity. Stay on the path, go early, and do not treat Praslin as only Anse Lazio. The two halves of the island are different days.
Book Cat Cocos (and the La Digue connector) before you romanticise a walk-up. Weather cancels boats. A missed sailing is a night on the wrong island.
It has buses, dinner and a safe swim. Anse Intendance and the south of Mahé want a car and respect for the swell. Look at the wind direction, not only the hotel brochure.
A card that works at a Mahé resort may shrug on La Digue. Take rupees before the ferry. The bike shop is not your bank.

One is Praslin, the other is La Digue. A Mahé day trip that tries both is a dawn boat, two jetties and a couple of hurried hours on sand — sleep on one island if the beach is the point.

Air Seychelles only hops Mahé to Praslin. Even if you fly to dodge a rough crossing, the last fifteen minutes to La Digue is still a ferry — pack for that short hop, not for a third runway.

If the plan names Seychelles, yes — one country. Coverage still thins on coves and trails. Unlocked iPhone XS, Pixel 3 or Galaxy S20+ can install it before you land on Mahé.
Ferry checks and maps: 1–2 GB a day on Mahé. Download timetables; the jetty is a poor place to load a PDF.
La Digue village is usually fine. Source d'Argent's rocks and the palm forest are not a livestream plan. Screenshot the park ticket and the last ferry.
You might. An eSIM means the first bus to Victoria or the ferry counter is already a map.
Only if Seychelles is on the list. Mauritius or Réunion on the SKU is a different country and a different ocean personality.

Seychelles International on Mahé is the only real jet story; everything after is a ferry pin. A Seychelles eSIM is online for the Cat Cocos queue without a kiosk that has already closed when the last European flight lands.
Install it before you fly. The first useful screen is the boat to Praslin and whether La Digue still has bikes after the afternoon arrival.
