There are no direct flights here from the U.S. because the Federal Aviation Administration has not assessed Seychelles' Civil Aviation Authority for compliance with FAA standards. One Seychelles Rupee is equivalent to about one U.S. Penny. There is public transportation here but it usually requires several transfers to get to a desired destination. Mini Mokes are open-air cars for hire. They often have some sort of mechanical defect, and they're no protection from the elements, but weather usually allows their usage.
Petty crime is common here, however violent crime against tourists is rare.
