Seychelles International Airport is 11km (7 miles) southeast of the capital of Victoria on the island of Mahe in the Seychelles. This is a functional, efficient airport which should get you through and into your Seychelles holiday with no trouble at all. The airport is improving and expanding as passenger traffic increases, with new shops and facilities opening regularly.

Flights to Seychelles International Airport arrive from Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The airport is also a hub for inter-island travel, with several daily domestic flights.

Victoria is the only port in the Seychelles and one of the smallest capital cities in the world, with a population of just 25,000 people. Make sure you check out the city hall and post office in the centre of town, which haven’t changed since colonial times.

Getting into Town

Bus: There is a bus service on the island that caters for locals, so it’s fairly cheap. They run from the main road outside the airport every 20-30 minutes for about SCR 7 (£0.36).

Taxi: Taxis leave from just outside the terminal building, and drivers will give you a tour of the island if you ask. A taxi to Victoria will cost you about SCR 75 (nearly £4), or SCR 100 (£5.20) at night.
