Where to eat is another way to keep costs down when travelling through the islands. Choose simple Creole dishes at shore-edge restaurants where you can feel the sand between your toes, takeaway outlets or at the markets or go the self-catering route at your accommodation.

Getting around on such a small island may seem easy to do, but choosing the shortest option, may not be the most budget-friendly. Go for the catamaran to get from Mahe to Praslin instead of the sea-plane, which also gives you a beautiful scenic way to see the islands. You may also want to hire a bike instead of a car to get around, which means that you get some exercise while you explore this gorgeous destination.

Travelling to the Seychelles does not mean you have to take out a second bond on your house, but instead can be a beautiful budget getaway while still experiencing the best that it has to offer.
