How your airport transfer works

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.

How long is the drive from the airport?

The airport is central on Mahé’s east coast, so most transfers are short. Approximate driving times for a private car:

Victoria & Eden Island
about 20 minutes
Inter-Island Ferry Quay
about 30 minutes
Anse Royale
about 40 minutes
Beau Vallon (Savoy, STORY, Coral Strand, Fisherman’s Cove)
about 45 minutes
Glacis (Hilton Northolme, Carana)
about 55 minutes
Anse Louis & Barbarons (Maia, AVANI)
about 1 hour
Baie Lazare (Four Seasons, Kempinski, Banyan Tree)
about 1 hour
Port Launay (Constance Ephelia)
about 1 hour 5 minutes

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.

Licensed, certified drivers you can trust

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.

Meet your driver

Daniel, your driver on Mahé

Daniel, SeyBooking.com transfer driver, with guests on Mahé, Seychelles

Your transfer is driven by Daniel, a licensed, certified Seychellois driver and SeyBooking.com's private transfer partner on Mahé. He meets every flight himself or with one of his drivers, day or night, with a SeyBooking name board in the arrivals hall.

Five cars, one fixed fare each. Super Budget is an older Suzuki Ertiga for up to two passengers with two suitcases, at our lowest fixed fare. Comfort is a BMW 5 Series for three with three suitcases, our best value. The Van is a Hyundai Staria or H1 for five passengers with five suitcases at one fixed Van fare. Executive is a Range Rover Evoque at a flat €100 and VIP a black Porsche Cayenne at a flat €150, any direction, each for three with three suitcases.

You agree the fare before you travel, in writing on WhatsApp, and you pay Daniel on the day, cash or card. No app, no meter, no surge. If your flight is late, he already knows.

Every car, every price

Cheap airport transfers in the Seychelles: every car and price

Super Budget is the cheapest private transfer you can pre-book on Mahé: from €25 per car, not per person, in an older Suzuki Ertiga for two passengers with two suitcases. For up to €5 more, Comfort is a BMW 5 Series for three with three suitcases, €25 to €45 from the airport, our best value. Families and groups take the Van transfer at €55 for five with five suitcases, in any direction (€65 to and from the south). Executive, a Range Rover Evoque, is €100 flat and VIP, a black Porsche Cayenne, is €150 flat. Every fare is fixed before you travel, flights are tracked and there is no night rate.

Every hotel, one price list

Airport transfer prices by hotel

This is the complete SeyBooking.com price list from Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) to the hotels of Mahé, the same numbers the instant-fare calculator above quotes. Every price is one way, per vehicle, in euros, the same in both directions and the same at 3 am as at 3 pm. Super Budget, an older Suzuki Ertiga for up to two passengers with two suitcases, costs €25 to Victoria and Eden Island, €27 to the east coast, €30 to Beau Vallon and the north and €40 to the south and north-west, and €3 less than Comfort on other trips, never below €25. Comfort, a BMW 5 Series for three with three suitcases, is €25 to €45 from the airport. Van is a Hyundai Staria or H1 for five passengers with five suitcases. Executive, a Range Rover Evoque, is €100 flat and VIP, a black Porsche Cayenne, €150 flat in any direction. Distances are road kilometres and the times are what to allow in normal traffic. Checked against the calculator on 29 October 2026.

Your hotel is not listed? It still has a price. Every villa, guesthouse and apartment on Mahé falls into one of the five zones above, and the calculator on this page knows more than two thousand addresses. Type the name, or message us the address and we answer with the fare.

The conditions, in plain words

What the price includes, and what it does not

Each way or return?Every price is one way, per vehicle. A return is simply the same fare again on the day you leave. Book both legs together and we hold both.
Per person or per car?Per car. Two people in the Super Budget car pay €30 to Beau Vallon in total, not each.
Night, weekend, holidaySame price. There is no night surcharge, no Sunday rate and no public-holiday rate. A 2 am arrival costs what a 2 pm arrival costs.
Flight delaysTracked by flight number. Normal delays are free. Your driver leaves for the airport when the aircraft is actually due.
Waiting at arrivalsIncluded. Immigration and baggage on Mahé can take 30 to 60 minutes on a busy evening; your driver waits with the board.
LuggageTwo suitcases in the Super Budget car, three in Comfort, Executive or VIP and five in the Van are included. Surfboards, bicycles, dive bags or extra cases: tell us and we send the right car.
Child seatsAvailable on request, no charge. Say the age of the child when you book.
A stop on the wayA short stop for a supermarket, ATM or SIM card is fine and free. A sightseeing detour is quoted as a taxi trip.
PaymentTo the driver on the day, in euros or Seychelles rupees, cash or card. A free request needs no card and no deposit. Instant booking takes a €5 deposit per direction, deducted from your fare, under our Transfer Policy.
Changes and cancellationChanges are free. Plans move, so message us the new time or flight and we move with you, deposit and all. A free request can be cancelled free at any time. The €5 instant-booking deposit is non-refundable and is kept on a no-show. Transfer Policy.
Praslin and La DigueWe drive on Mahé only. To reach the other islands we take you to the ferry quay in Victoria, timed with your sailing. Road transfers on Praslin are with Praslin taxis, which wait at the jetty.
The three routes people ask about most

Route guides: Beau Vallon, the south, and on to Praslin

Three arrivals cover most of our guests. Here is exactly what each one looks like, from the moment you walk out of the hall.

Airport to Beau Vallon: from €30, 14.4 km, about 45 min

Beau Vallon is the island’s main beach and the busiest transfer we do. The car heads north on the East Coast Road, skirts Victoria, then climbs the St Louis hill road and drops down to the bay on the other side. It is about 14.4 km and you should allow about 45 min, less late at night. The Super Budget fare is €30 one way, the Van €55 and VIP €150, to any hotel on the bay: Savoy, STORY, Coral Strand, Berjaya, Le Méridien Fisherman’s Cove at Bel Ombre, and the guesthouses behind the beach road. Hilton Northolme, Bliss and Carana are a few minutes further along the north coast at the same €30 Super Budget fare, allow about 50 min.

Arriving on a Wednesday? Beau Vallon’s night market, Bazar Labrin, runs on the beach road in the evening and the traffic through the bay is slow, so allow ten minutes more. Need cash or a SIM card? Say so and the driver stops at Victoria on the way through, no charge.

Airport to the south resorts: from €40, about an hour

Four Seasons at Petite Anse, Kempinski at Baie Lazare, Banyan Tree at Intendance, Canopy by Hilton at Anse à la Mouche, Anantara Maia at Anse Louis and Mango House at Anse aux Poules Bleues all sit on the south and south-west coast, across the mountains from the airport. The car runs south on the East Coast Road through Anse aux Pins and Anse Royale, then crosses the island on the Anse Royale road to Baie Lazare, or continues round through Quatre Bornes for Takamaka and Intendance. The Super Budget fare is €40 to every one of them. Four Seasons is 18.8 km and about 1 hour; Kempinski 17.9 km and about 55 min; Banyan Tree 18.1 km and about 1 hour; Canopy 13.4 km and about 45 min; Anantara Maia 12.0 km and about 40 min.

The south is the one zone where the Van costs more, €65 instead of €55, because of the extra hill road. VIP stays at €150 flat. Most of these resorts are up private drives with a gate; give us the hotel name and the driver takes you to the lobby, not the gate.

Airport to Praslin and La Digue: €25 to the ferry, then the catamaran

We do not drive on Praslin or La Digue, and no road transfer does: they are separate islands. What we do is the Mahé leg, and we time it to your sailing. From the airport it is 10.8 km and about 30 min to the Inter-Island Ferry Quay in Victoria, €25 in the Super Budget car, €55 in the Van. The Cat Cocos fast catamaran then takes about an hour to Praslin (from €62 per person), and the Praslin to La Digue boat about 15 minutes more (from €16). On Praslin, licensed taxis wait at the Baie Sainte Anne jetty for the hotel run; on La Digue you walk, cycle or take the hotel’s vehicle.

Timing rule: land, clear immigration and bags (allow up to an hour on a busy evening), 30 minutes on the road, and be at the quay 30 minutes before departure. If your flight lands too late for the last sailing we can drop you at a Victoria or Eden Island hotel for the night and take you to the quay in the morning, €25 each leg. The other way to Praslin is the 15-minute domestic flight from the same airport, which needs no transfer at all. Times, fares and tickets are on our Seychelles ferry guide and the Cat Cocos timetable.

Luxury airport transfers, and the Van for families

A luxury airport transfer in the Seychelles is €150 flat, to any hotel on Mahé, in our VIP car, a black Porsche Cayenne, with the same meet and greet, flight tracking and name board. There is no per-kilometre extra and no night rate. It is the right car for a honeymoon arrival, a proposal, or simply a long flight you want to end well. Families and groups of up to five with five suitcases take the Van at €55 (€65 to the south). Larger parties get two cars, quoted together. Ask on WhatsApp and we confirm the exact vehicle, not just the class.

Transfer now, or drive yourself?

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.

Transfer, taxi or bus from the airport?

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.

How much is an airport transfer in the Seychelles?

Airport transfers are a fixed price that we confirm before you travel, so there are no surprises with the meter. From Seychelles International (SEZ), our cheapest car, Super Budget (a Suzuki Ertiga for up to two passengers and two suitcases), priced one way per vehicle, is €25 to Victoria and Eden Island, €27 down the east coast to Anse Royale, €30 to Beau Vallon and the north, and €40 to the southern resorts or the north-west coast such as Port Launay. The Van for five is €55 (€65 to the south) and VIP is €150 flat. Send us your hotel on WhatsApp and we quote the exact fare in a minute.

Can I get a taxi from Seychelles airport to my hotel?

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.

How long is the transfer from the airport to Beau Vallon?

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.

Will a driver be waiting for me at arrivals?

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.

Do you track my flight if it is delayed?

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.

Can you take large groups or families?

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.

How do I get from the airport to Praslin or La Digue?

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 drive on Mahe only, timed with your sailing, and can help with the ferry ticket. On Praslin, taxis wait at the jetty. See our ferries guide for times and fares.

Is it better to take a taxi or rent a car?

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.

Can I book a transfer for a very early or very late flight?

Yes. We operate around the clock, including night arrivals and dawn departures. There is no hidden surcharge, just the fixed price we quote you.

Which side of the road do you drive on in the Seychelles?

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.

Is a transfer cheaper than a taxi from the airport?

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.

Do I need a deposit or a card to book a transfer?

No. You can reserve with just your hotel and flight details and pay the driver on arrival, with no card and no deposit. If you want your driver locked straight away, book instantly with a €5 deposit per direction, which comes off your fare. Most bookings can be changed if your plans move.

Is the airport transfer price each way or return?

Each way, per vehicle. Every fare on this page is for one journey, the same in both directions and the same at night. A return to the airport on your departure day is the same fare again, and if you book both legs together we hold both.

How much is a transfer from Seychelles airport to Beau Vallon?

€30 one way in the Super Budget car for up to two passengers and two suitcases, €55 in the Van for five, €150 in VIP, to any hotel on Beau Vallon bay, including Savoy, STORY, Coral Strand, Berjaya and Le Méridien Fisherman's Cove. It is about 14 km and you should allow 45 minutes.

How much is the transfer from the airport to Four Seasons or Kempinski?

€40 one way in the Super Budget car to Four Seasons at Petite Anse, Kempinski at Baie Lazare, Banyan Tree at Intendance, Canopy by Hilton, Anantara Maia and Mango House. The Van to the south is €65 and VIP €150. Allow about an hour.

How much is the transfer from the airport to Constance Ephelia?

€40 one way in the Super Budget car, €55 in the Van, €150 VIP. Constance Ephelia at Port Launay is the furthest resort from the airport by road, about 22 km over the mountain, so allow an hour and five minutes.

Do you offer luxury airport transfers in the Seychelles?

Yes. VIP is our luxury option, a flat €150 to any hotel on Mahé in a black Porsche Cayenne, with the same name board and flight tracking. The Executive car, a Range Rover Evoque or similar, is €100 flat. No per-kilometre extra and no night rate.

Do you do Praslin airport transfers?

We drive on Mahé only. For Praslin we take you from Seychelles International Airport to the ferry quay in Victoria for €25, timed with your Cat Cocos sailing, and on Praslin licensed taxis wait at the jetty. If you fly to Praslin on the 15-minute domestic flight there is no Mahé transfer to book at all.

Is there a night surcharge for a late arrival?

No. The fare is the same at 2 am and 2 pm, seven days a week and on public holidays. Most long-haul flights land on Mahé in the evening or early morning, and that is exactly what the fixed price is for.

Do I pay in euros or Seychelles rupees?

Either. The fare is set in euros and you pay the driver on the day in euros, in rupees at the day's rate, or by card. Nothing is charged in advance on a free request. Instant booking takes a €5 deposit per direction, deducted from your fare.

What car will pick me up?

Super Budget is an older Suzuki Ertiga for up to two passengers and two suitcases, at our lowest fixed fare. Comfort is a BMW 5 Series for three with three suitcases, our best value. The Van is a Hyundai Staria or H1 for five passengers with five suitcases. Executive is a Range Rover Evoque at a flat €100 and VIP a black Porsche Cayenne at a flat €150, in any direction. Every car is air-conditioned and every driver is licensed and certified.

Can I book an airport transfer in Seychelles instantly online?

Yes. Choose your hotel and arrival in the booking form on this page and pay a €5 deposit per direction by card or PayPal. Your driver and your fixed fare are locked the moment payment goes through, and your invoice and receipt arrive by email. The rest of the fare is paid to your driver at arrivals.

Is the €5 airport transfer deposit refundable?

No. It is a non-refundable booking fee that holds your driver, and it comes off your fare, it is not added to it. If your flight is delayed, nothing changes, because we track it. If we cannot provide your transfer, the deposit is refunded in full. A free request on WhatsApp or email takes no deposit and can be cancelled free. The full rules are in our Transfer Policy.
