You can scuba dive during tour stay in the Seychelles or better yet, go on long hikes in the luscious national parks found all over the country. Mission at Sans Souci on Mahe Island is a learning curve for those who may be vaguely acquainted with the colonial past of the islands. The impressively green back drop to the serene spot found on Mahe, boasts a great view of neighbouring islands like Ste Anne.

If you are visiting the area with a relatively large group, watching the sunset from the kiosk built on the former Venn’s town is breathtaking to say the least. For the younger crowd, the hotels such as Beau Vallon Bay are known to hold live shows with all the latest hits and local releases being played there. Your night may start there and ends at the various discos in Victoria. At 2 in the morning you may wish to try the pirate taxi (minicab) to get back to your hotel.

If your teenagers are happily over 18 they can also pay for a short cab ride down the road to tequila boom nightclub; which believe it or not offers a Middle Eastern flavour to the clubbing experience in the Seychelles.
