Fair travel time

January is ideal for a Seychelles getaway, offering a respite from the European winter with high temperatures and warm, humid weather. While afternoon showers provide relief, it’s generally a sunny month.
In February, consider islands like Fregate, Denis, Praslin, and Mahé for your Seychelles holiday. Here, you can indulge in creole cuisine, spot black parrots, and enjoy excellent snorkeling and diving conditions, despite occasional afternoon rain showers.
By March, the trade winds have subsided, bringing less rainfall and higher temperatures. This is prime time for underwater activities, with exceptional visibility of up to 30 meters. March also marks the annual turtle hatching season, offering a unique opportunity to witness these creatures making their journey to the ocean.
April to June
April in Seychelles offers hot weather with minimal wind and rainfall, making it a popular time for visiting its island resorts. Excellent diving and snorkeling conditions prevail, while the higher temperatures encourage leisure activities like relaxing under palm trees and hiking in lush forests.
May continues the warm weather trend of April but with slightly less humidity. The onset of the southeast trade wind in May suggests visiting the west coast of the island for a more favorable experience.
June boasts comfortable temperatures throughout the day and evening in Seychelles, with slightly stronger winds than May. This makes it ideal for hiking along scenic trails and enjoying water activities like kayaking, sailing, and surfing, benefiting from the windier conditions.
July to September
July, the coolest month in Seychelles, is ideal for those seeking relief from earlier heat waves and for surfers looking for excellent conditions. August shares similar cool conditions to July, with the southeast trade winds prevailing. It’s perfect for hiking enthusiasts eager to explore the islands’ many trails and untouched areas.
In September, before the onset of the rainy season, Seychelles experiences minimal rainfall and slightly warmer temperatures. It’s the opportune time for sunbathing and swimming in the turquoise waters of the ocean.
October to December
October offers pleasant weather in Seychelles, but it serves as a transition period between the southeast and northwest trade winds, signaling the approaching rainy season.
November marks the official start of summer in Seychelles, accompanied by rising temperatures and rainfall. The onset of the northwest trade winds suggests staying on the east side of the islands. For those seeking a quieter and less crowded island holiday, November is the ideal time to visit Seychelles. December sees increased activity on the islands due to the festive season, despite the presence of trade winds and rainfall.
