Things to Do in Victoria

Being the only major urban area in Seychelles, Victoria is the country's main economic and commercial hub. The city is home to about a third of the population of Seychelles. It may be compact in size but Victoria has unlimited potential to fulfill all fantasies of a tropical paradise. The bustling markets, lively downtown, manicured botanical gardens, and a handful of attractive old colonial buildings make this city- Victoria, Mahe (Seychelles) worth visiting.

Shopping in Sir Selwyn Clarke (SSC) Market in Victoria is an exciting thing to do. The market may be small by African standards but tourists can pick up wooden furniture, spices, jewelry, and more. However, one should note it down that the market remains closed on Saturday afternoon and every Sunday.

Besides shopping, one can visit to attractions like the Victoria Clock Tower, which is seen as Seychelles very own version of London’s Big Ben. The Natural History Museum is also a great place to see many displays of the endemic wildlife of Seychelles. The city is the launch-pad for all the island excursions in Seychelles. Ravishing beaches, marine national parks, dense forests, and outdoor thrills like surfing or hiking are only a few minutes away.

If one is planning to take a tour to Victoria, they should not make any delay, and book a tour package, now! Though, the best time to visit Victoria is hard to define. Since the capital does have noticeably drier and wetter seasons during the year, it remains pleasant throughout the year. June and July are the driest months and December through February are the city's wettest months.

Kaushik's 9 days trip to Seychelles

Overall well arranged trip by Holiday Box and things were smooth. Berjaya hotels were good though Bernique guesthouse location and services were average and better options will be available. Creole travel services are excellent and good to book activities also through them. La Digue was best among all for scenic beauty. Very memorable experience and wonderful trip La Digue beaches, especially L Union estate beach with glass bottom kayaking was the best experience

Saumya's 5 days trip to Seychelles

We booked our trip to Seychelles via Holiday Box, one of the travel agents available on Travel Triangle. Can’t thank enough Kunal for planning our trip and their counterparts in Seychelles, Creole. We were very much impressed by Creole on time services and punctuality, their way of communicating the plans and their helpful staff on ground. Our hotels in Praslin and Mahé was Berjaya. We had the great experience there. Can’t appreciate more the customer experience given by Mr Bilal in Praslin. In Mahe, they had the best and friendliest staff, Mr Prem Singh, Rohan, Raj, Tikaram. They had the best in house Indian Restaurant, Indian Tandoor Cuisines and I can honestly say with the some of the best chefs, Abid and Nawaz and our server Anil Singh. Highly recommend Holiday Vox, Creole and Travel Triangle too book a relaxing and chilling vacation in India or anywhere outside Food, friendly staff and Hotels with their private beaches

Prasanth's 7 days trip to Seychelles

Meghna provided invaluable support before and during the trip. She managed our flight cancellations and rescheduling very well. She delivered what was promised. Her services did enhance the travel experience and this kind of support will be remembered. The onground team is also good and responsive. Hotel choices she proposed has good Indian veg food but are old. Ofcourse hotels are booked based on our budget and choice. All tips provided were very useful for planning a memorable trip

Tanay's 6 days trip to Seychelles

Good thing: Travel agent gave good pricing, very competitive which is commendable Things to improve: 1. A little follow up should be done from travel triangle so that itinerary doesn't change as per wish of travel agent after commitment. 2. No proper guidance after selling package. Made us think we were on our own for certain things. Good stay and smooth transfers

Tanay Agrawal Mumbai

Ajit's 6 days trip to Seychelles

Best travel destination for honeymoon couples. Seychelles is well known for white-sand beaches, tropical climate, and biodiversity. A must visit places - La Digue, Victoria, Anse Lazio, Beau Vallon, Tea Factory & Saint-Anne Marine National Park. Kunal along with Creole Seychelles service partner were very helpful and provided a really good arrangement for our accomodation. Staff at the Oasis hotel in Praslin & Berjaya in Mahe were very polite and available during the entire stay. We visited Praslin (3N), La Digue (1D) & Mahe (3N), both the locations were at the walking distance from the beach. Food & Water bottles at the hotel were expensive which made us explore reasonable restaurants/food outlets/Supermarkets outside our hotel. Overall the entire experience of the trip was amazing. Walks on the white sands of La Digue & Praslin. Beau Vallon beach view & Pizza from Sun Coco in Mahe.

Ashishmall's 7 days trip to Seychelles

I recently planned my holiday to Seychelles with Meghna from HolidaysBox, and it was an excellent experience. Since I wasn’t very familiar with Seychelles, Meghna guided me exceptionally well. She planned all my activities and hotels perfectly, and even customized the trip according to my preferences. Her behavior was really commendable—she is polite, attentive, and listens carefully to customer requirements. Thanks to Meghna's planning, my Seychelles trip turned out to be amazing. I’m grateful for her support and would highly recommend Meghna and HolidaysBox for a well-organized and hassle-free travel experience. Thank you!

Jayesh's 7 days trip to Seychelles

Our trip planned by Meghana from Holiday box was amazing. Meghana was very attentive to every detail of our trip. From scheduling to hotels to transfers, she arranged for everything properly. Her local knowledge is very good. We had an issue due to the airline rescheduling our onward journey. Meghana helped us immensely by arranging for the date changes for every part of the trip. This was truly exceptional service. The resorts chosen for us were also very good. In fact, we loved Constance Ephelia so much that we spent a lot of our time inside the resort only!
