FAQ’s
TRAVELLING TO THE OUTER ISLANDS
What is the luggage restriction for the inter island flight?
Check-in luggage is strictly limited to 15 kg or 33 pounds per person, and 5 kg or 11 pounds carry-on luggage. Please adhere to the specified limits. It is not possible to load extra luggage beyond your limit; it would have to be repacked and left on Mahé until your return. There is left luggage storage at the airport and you can arrange for your tour operator in Mahé to store excess luggage while you are on Alphonse Island. We suggest that you use lighter soft-shell luggage as well.
What is the conservation donation?
There is a compulsory conservation donation of USD 175 per week (USD25 per day) which is payable in advance along with your reservation. All packages exclude this conservation donation and these funds are given to the Island Conservation Society for the preservation of nature in the Seychelles.
What is the weather like?
The Seychelles is typically hot and somewhat humid with the midday temperature hovering at 35 degrees celsius. Evenings are also invariably warm with the exception of May to September, when there may be a strong, cooling breeze.
What is the hours of daylight?
Due to its proximity to the equator, there is no real twilight in the Seychelles. The sun rises quickly at around 6:15 a.m. and sets with equal swiftness at about 6:30 p.m. This varies by only minutes throughout the year, giving nearly a full 12 hours of daylight for 365 days a year.
Health & Safety
Would I require a head lamp?
Although the roads between the accommodation and hotel are lit, it’s wise to have a headlamp for when you are riding your bike at night on Alphonse Island, or joining conservation activities at night at any of our destinations.
Would I need to sign an indemnity form?
All guests are required to sign an indemnity form once on location.
Do I require "from Scene of Accident Medevac Insurance"?
All guests are required to obtain “From Scene of Accident Medevac Insurance” for additional cover in case of emergency. Details will be requested prior to arrival. Blue Safari Seychelles and agents cannot assume any financial responsibility for consequences incurred if this has not been obtained.
What vaccinations or inoculations are required to travel to Seychelles?
No inoculations are legally required for entry. However, you may want to check with your local immunization and inoculation clinic for their recommendations on health precautions for travel to the Seychelles. Some travellers elect to protect themselves against hepatitis A with an immunoglobulin injection (short-term protection) or the longer lasting vaccine. Other inoculations may be required if you are planning a trip extension to parts of Africa.
Do I require travel insurance?
All guests are required to obtain travel insurance.
Is it recommended to book flexi international air tickets?
We suggest that you book flexi international air tickets allowing for a free ticket change. It is not often that we have delays due to weather or ‘force majeure’, but this precaution allows you to change your ticket should adverse weather or ‘force majeure’ prevent you from travelling according to your schedule, in which event most insurance companies do not provide cover for related changes.
Is the water safe to consume on Alphonse Island?
Water from the faucets is safe to drink. We do not stock mineral water and will only supply it when specifically requested prior to arrival.
