Mahe Island SEZ Airport Shuttle

Seychelles International Airport Shuttles
Located 6 miles (10 km) from downtown Victoria, the capital of Mahé Island, Seychelles International Airport makes arriving to the most popular beach resorts easy, even easier if you’ve got a shuttle to drop you off. Book with either executive local providers or area companies for the perk of custom rides to awesome locations, saving both money and time without ever sacrificing comfort.

Before you book your shuttle, know exactly where you’re going, choosing between a variety of smaller beach towns and neighborhoods sprawled across the isle. If you’re headed to Victoria, the main hotspots are the Pier Ward, which offers instant access to the central botanical garden and ferry terminals, and several beachside locales on the northern peninsula, which include De Quincy, Vista do Mar, and Machabee. For something quieter, choose between several upscale resorts and private beaches in the far southern peninsula, including Petite Anse, Quatre Bornes, and Pointe Au Sel.

Take care of your trip by making sure everything stays organized, starting with your shuttle reservation. Print out any confirmation emails for added security, doing the same for any other important bookings, whether it’s a view around the isle via Diving Cruises Seychelles or a spa appointment at the Four Seasons. Be sure to also scan important physical documents, including medical prescriptions, passports, and identification, then storing those must-have items somewhere digital, such as an email inbox or cloud storage service.
