Seychelles Culture

Due to the fact that Seychelles history is a bit on the short side, there aren't too many Seychelles festivals of the traditional variety. That doesn't mean that there aren't fun Seychelles festivals that you might be able to work into your travel plans. Many of the festivals of Seychelles, or Seychelles events, are tied to the water, taking the form of a fishing tournament, or even a sailing cup. There are a few Seychelles festivals that are of particular interest culturally, and thus they are candidates for the top festivals of Seychelles. Working special Seychelles events into your travel itinerary can help to add more depth to your Seychelles vacation, which is certainly a positive thing. It's always a good idea to find out about any local Seychelles events that might affect your travel plans, and worth noting too are the various Seychelles holidays.

Geography & Climate
Seychelles' 115 granite and coral islands extend from between 4 and 10 degrees south of the equator and lie between 480km and 1,600km from the east coast of Africa in the western Indian Ocean.

This Indian Ocean republic occupies a land area of 455 km Sq. and an Exclusive Economic Zone of 1.4 million km Sq.. It represents an archipelago of timeless beauty, tranquillity and harmony that is famous for its world-beating beaches and for its great diversity which rolls from lush forests down to the warm azure ocean.

Of these 115 islands, 41 Inner Islands constitute the oldest mid-oceanic granite islands on earth while a further 74 form the 5 groups of low-lying coral atolls and reef islets that are the Outer Islands.

Seychelles is home to no less than two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the legendary Vallée de Mai on Praslin where the wondrously shaped Coco-de-mer nut grows high on ancient palms and fabled Aldabra, the world's largest raised coral atoll, first seen by early Arab seafarers of the 9th century B.C.

Seychelles, one of the world's very last frontiers, promises adventure and breathtaking natural beauty in pristine surrounds still untouched by man.
Climate
The Republic of Seychelles is an archipelago made up of more than one hundred fifty islands. This is also a tropical destination where there is a warm climate and cool breeze all year round. However, there are also some months that the Indian Ocean, the body of water which surrounds the archipelago of Seychelles will create huge waves that can be very dangerous to both tourists and locals of the archipelago. Sometimes this weather happens during the months of November to December or December until January.

Before deciding as to where you want to spend your family vacation, honeymoon or a tropical escapade, you will first look at the tourist attractions that you can find in that particular area. Of course, you will also try to look at the flight rates and hotel accommodation rates before booking or reserving slots. But most importantly, you have to know whether the tourist destination of your choice will have an excellent weather at your desired schedule. If a tropical paradise will give you a rainy weather while you are there, you certainly will not have a good time and get frustrated because the long trip and the money is obviously not worth it.

The month of April is considered as the peak season of the tourism industry. This is warmest period in the archipelago of Seychelles and this is what most tourists wanted to experience. The waves are also calm as well as the winds, making it perfect for different kinds of water-sports activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, island hopping, and fishing. This is also the right to do trekking or hiking at the mountains of the archipelago. Since there is no precipitation during the month of April, the trails will only be full of dusts not mud.
