When to Go You should plan your trip to the Seychelles around what you want to do. Windsurfing and sailing are best at the start and end of the trade winds, usually around May and October.
Some beaches are better during the monosoon season, others during the trade winds.
Diving is best in March, April, May, September, October and November. Room rates are highest and everything is busiest in December, January, July and August. With its short history, the Seychelles isn't exactly overloaded with traditional festivals. Most public holidays are Roman Catholic events, including Easter, Corpus Christi, on 10 June, the Assumption, on 15 August, and the Immaculate Conception, on 8 December. We encourage you to verify any critical information with the relevant authorities before you travel.
