Therese islet

Therese is an uninhabited islet to the west of Mahe island, Seychelles. This is a perfect tropical escape with great beach and with good hiking over the low mountains. The water is always calm, since the beach doesn't look into the open ocean - unlike most beaches of the main Mahe island. There are also good snorkeling opportunities. However, you should be careful at low tide, since corals can be dangerous in shallow water. It is possible to get here by boat from Port Glaud beach (15 min) or from Port Launay beach (20 min). Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

How to get there [edit]

There are also cheap shuttle buses on the island with a lot of routes. Keep in mind, that often you have to change bus in the capital city of Victoria to get from one side of the island to another.

When to go [edit]

It is good to travel to Seychelles any time of the year. The nature is more beautiful in the rainy season from October to April, while the dry season will give you more sunny days.
