Offering more than just stunning beaches, the Seychelles is a prime destination for families looking for a vacation filled with island fun and memorable experiences. Here are a few unique activities and encounters that you and the kids will never forget from your time in this stunning archipelago.
Marine Adventures
The calm, clear waters of the Seychelles are perfect for snorkelling and diving. Head to spots like Sainte Anne Marine National Park or Anse Source d’Argent, and you’ll be swimming alongside sea turtles, colourful tropical fish and vibrant coral reefs.
Meeting Giant Tortoises
There’s nothing quite like encountering Aldabra giant tortoises found at the Seychelles National Botanical Gardens, which are accessible from resorts by Anantara Hotels & Resorts. These gentle giants are somewhat shy, but after a quiet feeding session, you and the kids will have made a new set of friends on the island!
Island Hopping
One of the best ways to explore the Seychelles is via boat. You can split your time between the comfort of luxury hotels in Seychelles and the many other islands in the archipelago. The likes of Praslin and La Digue offer more captivating adventures, from scenic bike rides to outdoor hikes and peaceful picnics.
Learning Traditional Dances
Seychellois culture and heritage offer a plethora of cultural experiences that families will love. If you’re the musical kind, learning the traditional Creole dance performances at cultural centres is not just entertaining – it’s a great way to introduce the kids to new cultures and traditions.
