Itinerary
Arrival, Orientation and Beau Vallon Sunset Cruise
Arrival at Mahé Island International Airport and transfer to your hotel on Beau Vallon. Settle in, attend a brief orientation with your guide and photographer-instructor, and prepare gear for the week. Late afternoon embark on a relaxed sunset catamaran cruise off Mahé to capture golden-hour seascapes and silhouetted island profiles.
Highlights of the day include a short walk on Beau Vallon Beach for evening portraits and the cruise photography session. Tip: use a fast lens (f/2.8–f/4) for low-light sunset portraits and lock your camera settings during the cruise.
Morne Seychellois Rainforest & Anse Major Coastal Hike
Explore Morne Seychellois National Park with morning light filtering through endemic palms and giant ferns — ideal for texture and detail shots. After a guided rainforest walk, take the coastal trail to Anse Major (or short boat transfer) for a secluded beach shoot with dramatic rock formations and turquoise water.
Golden-hour session at Anse Major offers long-exposure seascapes and foreground rock compositions. Wear sturdy shoes for the hike; bring a tripod for long exposures and macro work.
Ferry to Praslin & Vallée de Mai Palm Forest
Transfer by ferry to Praslin (approx. 1 hour) and check in to your beachfront accommodation. Spend the afternoon in Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage site — photograph the endemic Coco de Mer palms and unique light filtering through the canopy.
Late-afternoon shoot at Anse Lazio for postcard-perfect vistas, fine sand textures and sweeping seascapes. Note: Vallée de Mai has strict conservation rules — stay on paths and avoid drone use in restricted zones.
La Digue by Traditional Boat & Anse Source d'Argent
Short boat transfer to La Digue in the morning. Rent bicycles (or use ox-cart) and ride to Anse Source d'Argent, one of the world's most-photographed beaches with trademark granite boulders and soft coral sand.
Spend the day scouting compositions among the boulders, tidal pools and palm frames. Golden-hour and sunset at Anse Source d'Argent produce iconic portrait and landscape images. Tip: arrive early to avoid mid-day crowds and use a wide-angle lens plus fill-flash for close rock detail.
Sunrise Beach Shoot, Blue Boat Jungle & Return to Mahé
Catch a sunrise shoot on La Digue or Praslin beaches for soft-light composition practice. Mid-morning return transfer to Praslin and high-speed ferry back to Mahé. Afternoon free for editing session with your guide (optional), local market shots in Victoria, or an additional beach session at Anse Takamaka.
This evening enjoy a farewell sunset cruise (private or small-group) featuring islands silhouette photography, sea bird action and a final golden-hour sail. Bring snacks and water for long boat trips; confirm camera gear is secured for movement on deck.
Departure and Final Shots
After a relaxed breakfast, enjoy a last short beach walk or portrait session near your hotel in Beau Vallon. Transfer to Mahé International Airport for onward flight.
Final notes: ensure all images are backed up to multiple drives/clouds; consider a short slideshow review with your guide before departure if time permits.

Seychelles Itinerary Built Around Two People's Preferences
My wife and I had a rough idea of what we wanted from Seychelles — some beach time, island hopping, nothing too rushed. Called TourGrids and honestly the first conversation itself felt productive. The guy on the call asked the right questions — budget, travel style, how many days, whether we wanted resort stays or smaller properties. Within two days we had a full itinerary that actually reflected what we discussed, not some copy-paste package. Flights, hotels, transfers — everything was in one place. No back and forth for basic info, no hidden charges at checkout. The whole planning process took maybe four or five days total. That was genuinely unexpected.
Ferry Cancelled in Seychelles, TourGrids Already Calling
We were on La Digue island when the inter-island ferry got cancelled due to weather — my husband and I had a flight out of Mahé the next morning and were genuinely panicking. Before I could even finish typing on WhatsApp, our coordinator Priya called us directly. Within the hour she had a private speedboat transfer arranged, confirmed the hotel would do an early checkout, and sent all the details in writing. No running around, no extra stress. The Seychelles trip itself was beautiful — hotels were proper good, itinerary was well-paced — but honestly, that one moment showed us what having a reliable team behind you actually means.
Seychelles for Two, Coordinator Answered Every Time
We were planning our honeymoon to Seychelles and honestly had no clue where to start. A friend suggested TourGrids and after one call with their team, things started falling into place. What really stood out was our trip coordinator — every time I had a doubt or a random 11pm question on WhatsApp, there was a reply within minutes. Hotel check-ins, cab timings, inter-island ferry details — everything was tracked by him without us having to follow up repeatedly. No hidden charges, the itinerary matched exactly what we discussed. My wife and I just focused on enjoying the islands. That kind of ownership from one person genuinely changes the entire experience.
Seychelles Planning Clicked Into Place Quickly
I had been putting off planning this trip for months because Seychelles felt complicated to figure out on my own. A friend suggested TourGrids, and honestly, one call was enough to feel like we were in good hands. The coordinator walked my husband and me through island options, asked about our pace, and built the itinerary around what we actually wanted — not some standard package. We tweaked it twice over WhatsApp and both times it was updated without any fuss. Flights, hotels, transfers — all explained clearly upfront with no hidden charges. By the time we landed in Seychelles, everything was already waiting.
Seychelles for Two at a Price That Justified Itself
I had spent nearly two weeks trying to price out Seychelles independently — flights, inter-island ferries, hotels, transfers — and the numbers were all over the place. When I finally spoke to TourGrids on a call, they came back with a package that covered everything and actually cost less than what I had pieced together on my own. My husband and I got proper beach-facing rooms, all airport and inter-island transfers sorted, and breakfast included daily. Nothing felt cut-rate. The coordinator was responsive on WhatsApp throughout, and there were no surprise charges at checkout. Booking independently felt pointless after seeing how well this was structured.
Our Seychelles Coordinator Felt Like Family Abroad
We almost gave up on Seychelles thinking it would be too complicated to plan. A friend suggested TourGrids and honestly, from the first WhatsApp conversation itself, the coordinator — Priya — was so patient with all my questions. My husband and I had specific requests around beach access and she got everything right. Hotels were proper good, transfers were on time, and whenever I messaged her during the trip, reply came within minutes. One day our water taxi timing changed last minute and she had it sorted before we even had to worry. No surprises in billing either, everything was exactly what was discussed. Really did not expect this level of attention.
