The time difference in relation to Western Europe is plus 2 hours in summer and plus 3 hours in winter.

The official currency on Seychelles is the rupee (1 Euro = 6,30 SR). Rupees are only accepted in taxis, buses and gift shops. Therefore it is advisable to exchange only small amounts of rupees upon arrival at Mahé Airport. In general we recommend to have sufficient cash money in small banknotes with you (Euro or US Dollars) since western currencies are excepted almost everywhere.

The climate on Seychelles is tropical throughout the year with temperatures between 24 and 33 ° C. The water temperature varies from 26 to 30 ° C.
