Marooned in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles boasts a year-round tropical climate and tends to experience somewhat of an ‘eternal’ summer in terms of warmth. Average temperatures remain around 30°C throughout the year (with variations occurring when it comes to rainfall and wind), and while October is technically classified as its ‘cool season’, you’ll still find the mercury hovering close to 28°C. Seychelles October holidays also fall during the window between the southeast and northwest trade winds meaning the aquamarine ocean is calmer, the dazzling beaches are more serene and underwater visibility is at its very best. Avid divers and seasoned snorkellers will be in their element during October, with the iconic granite rocks and pristine coral reefs providing exquisite backdrops for myriad species of exotic marine life.

"Good expertise and advice on location. Great response to Covid delays. Great app. Great reaction and faultless response to a flight delay and missed connections. So really excellent/outstanding! Loved the app; good and commendable use of technology and also real time updates as our itinerary changed due to delays. Céline the concierge was quite simply outstanding in every respect, before arrival, dealing with delays, and looking after us in Mahe. Alphonse diving simply superb (fish life and healthy corals). Effectively private diving as only me/us on the boat. Sailfish snorkelling and witnessing turtle nesting and laying her eggs on the beach pretty special."

"Great communication and updates even though we booked it more then a year out. Very efficient. We would ABSOLUTELY use them again. Thanks to excellent advice, we chose a private island in the Seychelles. Denis island proved to be everything we wanted for our family holiday and so much more. The ultimate in barefoot luxury. I didn’t wear shoes once during our stay ... need I say more!"

Scattered across a vast expanse of the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles is a sun-drenched collection of island idylls, each offering their own version of barefoot luxury. With calm seas, good visibility and warm waters at this time of year, it’s well worth packing a snorkel or strapping on some scuba gear on your Seychelles October holidays. Our travel experts can arrange a stay on a liveaboard as part of your trip, for a complete immersion into the archipelago’s underwater world.


During your Seychelles October holidays, don’t miss the chance to discover the hidden treasures of the Aldabra Islands, a scattering of remote, wild and uninhabited atolls within the Outer Islands of the Seychelles archipelago (700 miles south of Mahé). The surrounding ocean plays host to some of the planet’s most extraordinary marine species, and the virtually untouched waters offer unparalleled views of awe-inspiring coral colonies and their intriguing inhabitants. While no two dives are ever the same, sightings may include schools of sailfish, plumes of anthias and clouds of barracuda, with guest appearances from thresher sharks and melon-headed whales.
