Seychelles Family Holiday

The Seychelles is not only a stunning holiday destination, but is one of the few tropical countries that is malaria-free and doesn’t require any compulsory vaccinations to travel there. From the exciting wildlife in the tropical forests of Praslin to the thrilling water sports off the coast of Mahe, there’s a something for everyone.

There are numerous family-friendly hotels and resorts around the islands that feature Kids Clubs with plenty of entertainment to keep the little ones busy while you treat yourself at the hotel spa. For more adventure you can try zip-lining through the jungle – a definite favourite for the young ones. A trip to Bird Island is a must for any animal-lovers where you can see Giant Tortoises, a fascinating array of birds and watch Hawksbill and Green Turtles laying their eggs (between September and December).

A trip the Seychelles wouldn’t be complete without a visit underwater to see the mesmerising array of fish and coral. Children under eight can join courses that teaches them to use a mask and snorkel, while those aged 12 and older can gain their Junior PADI Open Water Diver certificate. If you don’t fancy getting your feet wet, you can always enjoy a glass-bottom boat trip.

The Seychelles is traditionally thought of as a romantic, honeymoon destination, but you and your family can get so much out of it as well. Just ask a Far & Wild expert how to make this dream destination a reality.
