I have watched a few videos of my beloved country Seychelles produced by foreigners and yours stood out. I just loved everything about it. I don’t think I could have sold my country to the world as well as you did. Thank you very much!
I invite you to come back and visit Praslin, La Digue, Silhouette or one of the outer islands. I'm very sure you'll be amazed by their natural beauty and other things that you may not have seen on Mahé. I will definitely be following your channel and best of luck in your future projects.
Thank you so much, it means a lot!
How am I going too apply for Seychelles visa
It's so amazing bout sychelles I wish I could get a chance to work there so adorable
How much cost a room to rent in Seychelles ?
Are there SUV cars that are bigger and more spacious for hire, in seychelles?
I love this video! Unlike Tayo Aina who tried to spread negativity about the country.
busses go to almost all the beaches and cost around 1 euro :) also hitchhiking is fun and works great :)
Your video was really helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for all the informations!
This video makes me proud to be Seychellois. Well captured in every way. Thank you. 😃
Hey how can I travel to your country
Can you help me come over to study
@@chukwuemekauzoigwe620 studying here for what exactly as here most of our students go for abroad studies. There is only one university here with limited courses and most people will get a degree from a reputed international university in many cases through UniSey. You will have to pay for everything out of pocket and it isn't cheap living here. But if it is your calling try checking out university of seychelles courses online and start from there.. all the best! 😊
I really appreciate this response. Thanks a million Alphonose. Haven travelled to 18 countries in the world,it is my dream to come to Seychelles to study but just like you said,I will have a rethink about it
I will be touring seychelles for the first time this year. I hope I will enjoy the travel.

Thank you, Rich for this video. I found your YT via a photo on my log-in on Microsoft of La Digue, after researching photos and videos I landed on one of your videos. I live in the US and would love, love, love to visit Seychelles one day! Again, thank you!!!
Of all the videos about Seychelles that I have watched, you have given the most; exactly what I need and then some!

I’m glad I could help!
really great video, thank you for your work and the lots of good information. I am now even more looking forward to the holiday!
Excellent vlog
Your video covered so much crucial information. It was genuine, amicable as you are a young man and so professional as well. This is such a nice public relations about the Seychelles islands nation and the people. You also took us to the beaches, the botanical gardens, a rum distillery, an upscale community called Eden island and the yachts moored and/or docked at port. I also find it so unique about your information about the geckos all over the place. I would not feel comfortable with them or any snakes. I hate reptiles. I also liked the fact that you showed us the turtles which help the environment. Thank you so much. Where are you from in the world since you do not sound British nor American. All the best.
Thank you! It was very useful :) God bless
Thanks for sharing.
Best content creator!
🙏🏾❤️
Loove this video, I haven't been home to Seychelles for 2 years but it's so nice to see the changes. It's great to see Rebecca still an amazing tour guide as always.
Thanks so much for watching!

I just love Seychelles
very nice 👍
Waoo great, I love you video
Thank you so much this video, I learn a lot here, more grace bro
Nice video! I live in Guyana, South America and I have a few wall geckos in my house. It is illegal to get rid of them because there are lots of mosquitos in Guyana that cause dengue, malaria etc.. Despite using mosquito mesh to keep mosquitoes out they still make their way inside the house. Also, the AC does not bother them. I don't like them indoor but it is illegal to get them out. I wish they were paying rent but they nevertheless work hard to keep the insects out. It is a win win situation.🙂
What an an excellent video. As a Seychellois who unfortunately does not live in Seychelles anymore, I think this is a fair and accurate representation. I'm hoping to visit my homeland in the next 12 months or so.....
Thanks so much!

Thanks for all your good recommendation.did you know if we can surf in Mahé?
Yes I think you should be able to surf at certain beaches in Mahé
you can surf at some places where the sea is rough like at “ros kopra” in the baie lazare district or at beau vallon and various other ones.
Great

Hey, thank you so much! A lot of the drone shots are mine. And as far as I know, you don’t need a permit to fly in Seychelles.
For the drivers license, your normal home country license should be fine

Those luxury yachts belongs to the rich guys from UAE or other oil rich countries. Some of them own villas in Eden islands and other parts of Mahe. The UAE has invest a lot $$ in the economy and development of the Seychelles.
Do you have waves for surfing?
This country reminds me of Hawaii, USA,🇺🇸 . It’s beautiful and so natural BUT it’s so far…no sure I can stomach 30 hr travel from Georgia, USA.
Please while using qatar airways did you need a visa for the layover at Doha airport or it wasnt a requirement ? looking forward to your response

Jeszcze mi się przypomniało,,( byłam już 5 razy na Seszelach) i patrzyłam czasami czemu ci Seszelczycy(łatwiej napisać niż wypowiedzieć) mają takie dziwne oczy (nie wszyscy oczywiście).
In the seychelles now we do have a very bad heroin situation going on.We have so many addicts and yes there is a time for alcohol sale but I think it's only for retailer shops I don't think it applies for hotels though
How much would it cost to do by food to cook for yourself
I think a good list of Typical groceries for a few days would cost somewhere around 600-700 Rupees (approx. $50)
Aha co jeszcze zapomniałam napisać,o czym pani Stiuardesa z Etiopian Arlines mi powiedziała : żeby ona mogła studiować,to jej rodzice musieli cale życie oszczędność i ona do dziś płaci jeszcze kredyt.Czy edukacja w Etiopii jest bezpłatna.to nie wiem ,ale ta PANI pochodzi z bardzo biednej rodziny i oprócz kredytu który płaci ,wysyła każdy miesiąc 30 procent swojej wypłaty swoim rodzicom.
Bardzo proszę o komentarz jak wygląda edukacja w Etiopii.
Pozdrawiam i dziękuję z góry.
I love you sesel
Top part mun💯🇸🇨
Did you need any license or something else to fly your drone?
Nope, no license
Drones have restricted areas in the country. It will not fly above some areas if undeclared or registered by SCAA. However you can get a few information from the websites available. However, most places away from airport areas are okay.
***How about a scooter rental?
