Passengers arriving from overseas to Mahe will land at Seychelles International Airport (SEZ). Located 10 kilometers from the capital, Victoria, passengers can choose from three transport options to reach their hotel: taxi, bus, or a private Mahe Airport transfer.
If you opt for a Mahe Airport taxi, expect a journey time of as little as 10 minutes to Victoria Center. Other than a private transfer, this is the only direct and door-to-door service.
The Mahe bus service is a good alternative to taxis for those traveling light and on a tight budget. The bus takes around 20 minutes, with departures every hour.
Although more costly than the public bus, a taxi is still a relatively affordable option that is ideal for those traveling with heavy luggage items or children.
If you're arriving after 18:30, your only option may be to take a taxi.
