Best time to travel
The best time to visit Praslin is between May and October, when the weather is dry and temperatures are pleasantly warm. During this period, the southeast trade winds bring a wonderfully comfortable climate. Humidity is lower and the seas are calmer, creating perfect conditions for swimming, snorkelling and diving.
The second-best time to visit is from March to May and November, during the transition between the trade winds. The weather is warm and the underwater world is exceptionally clear, ideal for diving and snorkelling excursions.
Even outside these periods, the Seychelles is well worth visiting, as rainfall is often brief and usually falls at night.
