Book a private airport transfer in the Seychelles and step off your flight into a waiting car. A licensed, certified driver meets you at arrivals with a name board, the price is fixed and agreed before you travel, and we take you straight to your hotel or villa anywhere on Mahé. No taxi queue, no meter, no stress after a long flight.
Just landed, or your plans changed at the last minute? Reach us straight away and we will sort your driver fast.
Tell us your hotel and flight and we come straight back with a fixed price and your driver. It takes under a minute, book by WhatsApp or email, and no card is needed to reserve.
The transfers people book most, from Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) to the island’s hotels and resorts. Find your hotel, pop your date and time straight onto its row, then tap WhatsApp or email. Add your name and flight in the message and we reply with a fixed price.
Do not see your hotel? Tap any row and change the name in WhatsApp or email. We transfer to every hotel, villa and guesthouse on Mahé.
It could not be simpler. When you book, you send us your hotel, your arrival date and your flight number. We confirm a fixed price and your driver. On the day, we watch your flight, so if it lands early or late your driver is already there.
You walk out of the arrivals hall and your driver is waiting with a SeyBooking name board. They take your bags, walk you to an air-conditioned car, and drive you straight to your door. You pay the agreed price on arrival, in cash or card. That is it. No queue, no haggling, no meter climbing while you sit in traffic.
The airport is central on Mahé’s east coast, so most transfers are short. Approximate driving times for a private car:
Times are a guide for normal traffic. The roads are narrow and hilly, and the views on the coast road are part of the welcome.
Every transfer is driven by a licensed, certified Seychellois driver who knows the island roads, the resorts and the shortcuts. They are insured, careful and used to looking after visitors from the moment they land. Your safety and your time are the whole point.
A transfer is the easy choice for arrival day. You are tired from flying, it is your first time on the left of the road, and the last thing you want is to find a car park in the dark. Let a driver take you to the hotel and start the holiday properly.
Once you have found your feet, a rental car is the best way to reach the quiet beaches and viewpoints on your own time. Many guests do both, a transfer on arrival and a car delivered to the hotel a day or two later. We arrange either, or both, with no booking fee.
All three work, and it comes down to comfort and timing. A private transfer is a fixed price with a driver waiting at arrivals and help with your bags. A taxi is similar but negotiated at the rank and thinner on the ground late at night. The public bus is very cheap but slow, with luggage limits and no service after early evening.
| Private transfer | Airport taxi | Public bus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | Fixed, quoted before you travel | Negotiated at the rank, higher at night | A few rupees, but with changes |
| Waiting for you | Yes, name board at arrivals | Usually, fewer late at night | No, walk to the main road |
| Luggage | Included, driver helps | Included | Limited, not practical with cases |
| Late-night arrivals | Always met, every flight | Patchy once flights thin out | No buses in the evening |
| Best for | A smooth, fixed-price arrival | A quick ride if one is waiting | Budget travellers, light luggage, daytime |
Airport transfers are a fixed price that we confirm before you travel, so there are no surprises with the meter. As a rough guide a private car from Seychelles International (SEZ) starts from around €40 for nearby Victoria and Eden Island, and rises with distance for Beau Vallon, Baie Lazare or Port Launay. Send us your hotel on WhatsApp and we quote the exact fare in a minute.
Yes. There are taxis at the arrivals rank, but pre-booking a private transfer with us means a named driver is already waiting for you, the price is fixed and agreed in advance, and there is no queue after a long flight. We cover every hotel, villa and guesthouse on Mahé.
About forty-five minutes. The airport sits on the east coast just south of Victoria, so the capital and Eden Island are around twenty minutes away, Beau Vallon is about forty-five, and the southern and western resorts near Baie Lazare and Port Launay are about an hour.
Yes. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, helps with your luggage and walks you to the car. If your flight is early or late we adjust, because we track the arrival.
We do. Give us your flight number when you book and we follow the arrival time, so your driver is there when you land even if the schedule changes. There is no charge for normal flight delays.
Yes. We have larger vans and can send more than one vehicle for bigger groups. Tell us how many of you there are and how much luggage when you book, and we will have the right vehicle waiting.
We drive you the short way to the Inter-Island Ferry Quay in Victoria, then you take the fast catamaran to Praslin or La Digue. We can arrange the transfer, the ferry ticket and a car waiting on the other island, all timed together. See our ferries guide for times and fares.
It depends on your trip. A transfer is perfect for arrival day, when you are tired from flying and not ready to drive on the left. Many guests take a transfer to the hotel, then have a rental car delivered a day or two later to explore at their own pace. We can set up both.
Yes. We operate around the clock, including night arrivals and dawn departures. There is no hidden surcharge, just the fixed price we quote you.
The Seychelles drives on the left. The roads are narrow and winding, especially over the hills, so plenty of visitors prefer a driver for the first day and pick up a rental car once they have their bearings.
It is usually more predictable and often cheaper overall. A private transfer is a fixed price agreed before you travel, with no meter and no late-night surcharge, while an airport taxi is negotiated at the rank and typically costs more in the evening. See the comparison above.
No. You reserve with just your hotel and flight details, and pay the driver on arrival. No card and no deposit are needed to hold your transfer, and most bookings can be changed if your plans move.
