Start Island HoppingReviews
The crew and the food were great. The cabins were very hot and stuffy. The furnishings on deck were also very basic, just a few plastic chairs and cushions. The toilets and showers were very basic and the common areas were very simple. We had a great time because our travel group got along really well together.

FAQs
On our website, you can find descriptions and pictures of all of the hotels and villas in our programme, which give you the most detailed idea of the accommodation as possible. This is also the case for our island-hopping packages. Furthermore, each of these page contains a contact form, which you can use to send us an enquiry. This can also be done by telephone.
First of all, we will make you an offer based on your enquiry. You will then have the opportunity to request changes to various aspects of our offer. If you would then like to accept a binding offer, you send us the necessary contract form, and we send you your booking confirmation, along with other information about your booking.
Of course! Our team knows each object in our programme first-hand, and they are more than happy to use this knowledge to help you create your tailor-made holiday over the phone.
Our offers are created on an individual basis, and are only valid for one day. This is because the hotels and villas in our programme may receive bookings from other sources in the meantime, while flight prices and availabilities can also change with little notice. Should you require more time to think over the offer, we are more than happy to update it for you at any point.
Our availability calendar is updated by our Seychelles partners (hotels, guesthouses, yacht charter companies etc.) themselves. This can sometimes mean that the availability of our accommodations is outdated. After your booking enquiry, SeyVillas will contact the owner of the appropriate establishment or accommodation in order to give you a binding, accurate availability status.
For the larger hotels and chains who we work with, each establishment or company tends to work with its own booking system, all of which differ from each other enormously. Therefore, it is currently not possible to combine all of these systems with each other and our own in order to display binding, up-to-date availabilities. In terms of confirmations of availability, we are only able to provide this when we first receive the confirmation ourselves from the hotel.
In cases where the hotel you have requested is no longer available, we will send you an alternative suggestion, or, you can send us your own replacement suggestion. In addition, if the hotel, guesthouse, yacht etc. is unavailable, you can also withdraw your booking interest at any point between sending us your initial request and accepting an offer.
Yes, we will of course send you a secured payment certificate. This is a legal requirement for travel and tour operators, and serves as the basis for the receipt of payment from you, as our customer, to us, as travel operator.
After receiving your confirmed booking enquiry, we will send you a booking confirmation (PDF) within three days by email. We will also send you your secured payment certificate at this point. After receiving the booking confirmation, you must pay 30% of the total amount within 5 working days. For flights, SeyVillas acts as an intermediary, so flight costs must be paid in full (100%) within five working days. The remaining amount must be paid, at the latest, five weeks before the start of your holiday.
We have contractually-regulated agreements in place with the largest local tourism services in the Seychelles. They will take care of welcoming you to the Seychelles and with transfers. They are also available for questions, and can help you out with any problems that may arise in relation to your holiday in the Seychelles.
We strongly recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance. The costs of this are minimal compared with the cost of a holiday, and will insure you against any potential illnesses which may result in you having to cancel your holiday. We are also able to take out travel cancellation insurance for you on your behalf, as well as travel health insurance and full insurance packages.
The service fee helps us to improve our customer service and the holidays that we offer. Due to the extra time, effort and organisation that is required at the moment due to Covid-19, as well as increased insurance costs in all touristic companies (DRSF) since 01.11.2021, we have introduced a service fee in order to continue to offer you the best advice and product possible.
- Personal and individual consultation by our qualified team.
- Free change to your holiday package if your flights are changed (no re-booking fee by SeyVillas).
- Implementation of extra wishes (e.g. candlelit dinner, bike rental, excursions etc.).
- Local contact person on-site throughout your holiday
- SeyVillas emergency contact number at the weekend
The service fee applies to bookings of two or more travel services (including accommodation, transfers, flights, day trips, weddings).
Since 01.08.2023, the sustainability levy for tourism has come into force. Holidaymakers have to pay between 25-100 Seychelles Rupees per person/night on arrival, depending on the size of the accommodation booked.
This contribution is used for nature conservation projects, such as the expansion of renewable energies or the mitigation of coastal erosion in the Seychelles.
The amount of the levy is as follows:
Accommodation not located on Mahé, Praslin, La Digue or Cerf Island
Sailing tours
The environmental sustainability levy must be paid at your booked accommodation and applies to all persons aged 12 and over.
The payment is usually made in cash in the local currency “Seychelles Rupee“. If your accommodation has a card reader, you may also pay by credit card (fees might apply).
Certified Seychelles experts
An official training issued by the Ministry of Tourism in the Seychelles has been attended by the Team that has successfully completed the "Seychelles online training" with the final certificate of "Expert of the Seychelles".

Full description
Please note that the cruise does not take place on a regular basis, but only on selected departure dates as follows:
2024: 02.03., 09.03., 16.03., 23.03., 30.03., 06.04., 13.04., 02.11., 09.11., 16.11., 23.11.
2025: 01.03., 08.03., 15.03., 22.03., 29.03., 05.04., 12.04., (01.11.*, 08.11.*, 15.11.*, 22.11.*)
2026: 07.03., 14.03., 21.03., 28.03., 04.04., 11.04., 18.04., 25.04., (07.11.*, 14.11.*, 21.11.*, 22.11.*)
(*November 2025 and 2026 dates on request only, Please contact our sales team for a quote).
This seven-night diving safari combines discovery of the underwater world that surrounds the one-of-a-kind granite formations of the Seychelles with the rustic charm of a historic sailing boat, which doubles as your accommodation and a PADI-certified diving school. The dive master who will accompany you on your cruise is always available, and, together with the rest of the team, will deal with any diving issues on board, as well as during the dives themselves. Safety and emergency equipment, in accordance with PADI regulations, is also available on board.
The SV Sea Pearl offer eight air-conditioned cabins in two different categories. Category A consists of a cabin with a double-bed and one or two additional bunk bed/s, while Category B offers two single bunk beds. All of the cabins also contain a washbasin, reading lights, cupboard, and EU-standard electric sockets. The bathrooms on-board are shared amongst the different guests, and the cabins and bathrooms are cleaned on a daily basis by the crew. There is also enough space on-board to sit back and relax, particularly in the air-conditioned main salon area, in the covered area of the aft-deck, or on the upholstered sundeck.
A small dinghy accompanies the 'mothership' during the whole cruise in order to bring divers to the appropriate spots as quickly as possible. Most of the dives around the inner islands take place at a depth of between 8 and 20m, although other diving spots can be a little deeper. Such a concentrated diving experience is, above all, ideal for anyone who wants to spend their time discovering the huge variety of diving spots that the Seychelles have to offer. Each day there is the opportunity to take part in three dives, except for the day of crossing, when there is only time for one dive each. In terms of diving spots, the exact locations will be chosen along the way depending on weather conditions. That said, it is simply the aim of the diving instructor to provide you with an unforgettable diving experience, while the rest of the team occupy themselves with ensuring the rest of your stay on board is as comfortable as possible, whether that be providing you with coffee each morning on the deck, preparing a barbeque at sunset, or serving up a delicious dinner.
One of the outstanding features of this cruise is that everyone is welcome. Even those who don't want to take part in the dives can come along in order to discover various nature reserves, snorkel, or sail kayaks. This means that couples who don't share a love of diving can still take part in the same cruise together.
Day 1 (Saturday): Diving and Sailing
Board your new home for the week at the inter-island quay at 10.30am, including a greeting by the captain containing important information about the cruise. At around 12, the ship will set sail for Round Island, just off the coast of Praslin. In the evening, you will enjoy a barbeque on board the ship, giving you a first taste of Creole cuisine.
Day 2 (Sunday): Diving and Praslin Island, including Vallée de Mai
Next, the ship heads for Praslin, the second-largest of the Seychelles islands. Here, you can discover the famous Vallée de Mai nature reserve, which belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage list. This is also home to the enormous, uniquely-shaped Coco de Mer coconut, as well as the Black Parrot, which can only be found here on Praslin.
Day 3 (Monday): Diving and La Digue
In the morning, you will arrive on La Digue, a quiet, untouched island which you can discover on foot or by bike. La Digue is home to the endemic Paradise Flycatcher, and the imposing granite formations on the beach of Anse Source d'Argent, one of the most-frequently photographed beaches in the world, are also well worth a look.
Day 4 (Tuesday): Diving and Island Visit (for non-divers)
In the morning, the boat sets off for the sister islands of Grande and Petite Soeur, incredible, unique, and completely uninhabited tropical islands that offer excellent snorkelling and diving conditions. In the afternoon, the boat will arrive at Coco Island, one of the small granite pearls of the Seychelles, and a fantastic place to snorkel amidst a veritable kaleidoscope of colourful fish.
Day 5 (Wednesday): Diving and Aride Island
The morning is set aside for diving and watersports activities near Booby Island. After lunch, the boat carries on to Aride Island, a prominent nature reserve that is home to numerous bird species, more than any other island in the Seychelles, including five completely endemic species. A natural pathway leads to a spectacular viewpoint over the largest breedug colony of Frigate Birds outside the Aldabra-Atoll. Aride is the only natural habitat of the Wright's-Gardenia-Bush, and there are also over 400 fish species in the surrounding waters.
Day 6 (Thursday): Diving, Curieuse Island, St. Pierre Island
In the morning you will land on Curieuse Island, an almost completely uninhabited island. You can discover the extensive mangrove forests of the island, as well as the breeding centre for the island’s giant tortoises. In addition, there are the historical ruins of an old leper-colony. At midday, you will enjoy a delicious fish barbeque on the island as well. Finally, you will also have time to try out various watersports, or simply relax on the wonderful beach and enjoy the turquoise water.
Day 7 (Friday): Diving and Sailing
After breakfast, the boat sets sail for Mahé. Along the way, there is an included stop at Ile Seche, allowing you to enjoy one last dive or snorkelling session. Last of all, there is a final dinner, before the boat then sails into the harbour at the capital Victoria for your final night on-board.
Day 8 (Saturday): Disembarkation on Mahé at 08.30am, Inter Island Quay (Victoria)
Your safety and comfort are, of course, the highest priority on the cruise. Therefore, the captain of the ship reserves the right to change the programme based on exceptional weather conditions.
