Transportation

TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS:  While in Seychelles you may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States.

Driving is on the left side of the road. Roads are generally not well-maintained and are narrow and winding. Drivers should exercise caution due to a lack of shoulders and inadequate street lighting. Speed limits range from 25 to 50 miles an hour. Drivers and front-seat passengers are required to wear seatbelts. There are no laws regarding child safety seats.

Public transportation by bus is good but tends to be crowded during rush hours and may require a transfer to reach a desired destination. Taxis are also available.

Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information. Also, we suggest that you visit the website of the Seychelles’ National Tourism Authority and National Authority on Road Safety.

AVIATION SAFETY OVERSIGHT:  As there is no direct commercial air service to the United States by carriers registered in Seychelles, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not assessed the government of Seychelles’ Civil Aviation Authority for compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards. Further information may be found on the FAA’s safety assessment page.
