When to Visit
Apr-May
Trade-wind transition with calm seas, sailing season at peak, and Praslin's Vallée de Mai accessible without summer humidity. Coco-de-mer palms fruiting.
Jun-Sep
Southeast trade winds bring breezier conditions and surf at Grand Anse, but rates drop and the islands stay drier than the November-March wet season.
Oct-Nov
Trade-wind transition with calm seas returning, sailing season reopening, and the year's calmest snorkelling at Anse Lazio on Praslin.
Dec-Mar
Northwest monsoon brings afternoon storms but the islands stay warm at 28°C, hawksbill turtle nesting on Cousin Island, and Christmas through New Year at peak rates.
