Overview
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 for Two Without Burning Our Savings
My husband and I had been eyeing Seychelles for years but kept assuming it would cost a fortune to plan properly. TourGrids actually broke down the entire package — flights, beachside hotels, airport transfers, and a few meals included — and it came out noticeably cheaper than what I'd priced individually on my own. The hotels were proper good, not some budget compromise to cut costs. Our coordinator was reachable on WhatsApp throughout, and there were no surprise charges when we landed. Honestly, the value compared to DIY booking was the biggest win. We got more than I expected for what we paid, and Seychelles ended up feeling like a genuinely relaxed holiday rather than a logistical exercise.
One Call and Seychelles Was Practically Planned
My wife and I had been putting off this Seychelles trip for two years because the planning felt overwhelming. A friend suggested TourGrids, so I called them on a Tuesday evening — by Thursday morning they had sent a full customised itinerary over WhatsApp. They adjusted everything based on our preferences: slower pace, beachside stays, no rushed sightseeing. Flights, hotels, airport transfers — all sorted in one place, no hidden charges anywhere. The coordinator was responsive throughout and never made us feel like we were bothering them with questions. Honestly the whole process was far simpler than I expected. We just had to show up.
Seychelles Trip Felt Entirely Taken Care Of
I'd never booked through a travel company before — always did everything myself. But for our honeymoon in Seychelles, my wife and I wanted someone else to handle the stress. A friend suggested TourGrids, and honestly, from the first WhatsApp conversation itself, it felt different. The coordinator was patient, explained everything clearly, no vague answers. Flights, hotels, inter-island transfers — all sorted before we even landed. The hotels were proper good, and nothing came as a surprise on the billing side either. No hidden charges, which I was genuinely worried about. Being first-timers with a travel company, we weren't sure what to expect. TourGrids made that leap of faith feel like the right call.
