Seychelles Travel Forum

Hi,
we would like to go to Seychelles in September with our 1,5 years old son. We would like to spend there 2 weeks (7 days Mahe, 3 days Praslin, 4 days La Digue). But we are afraid of big costs of this holiday (for about 2 weeks) and whether it is suitable for a little baby. I would like to know:
1) Is it real to find some good accommodation under 40 euro per person on that islands? I have read that there are some cheap accommodations, but i dont know, if they arent too far from beach, or if they are free yet (because its only 3 months before our trip and the number of cheap rooms can be limited).
2) Food - what is the average price in cheap restaurants there? What are the prices in supermarkets?
3) Transfer in Mahe - i have heard that buses are cheap there, but are they comfortable and safe for traveling with a baby? Can i easy visit main beaches in Mahe with buses? What are prices for taxi there?
4) Transfer in La Digue - i have heard that bicykles are best choice for traveling there, but what to do with a small baby there, have they some child-seat for bicykles?
5) Ferrys between islands - is it comfortable for a baby? I know that between Mahe and Praslin i can use a plane, but cannot use it to travel to La Digue - and I have heard that a boat between Praslin and La Digue isnt much comfortable... Whats your opinion?
6) Health care - is in La Digue some hospital, or just a doctor?
7) Whale sharks - can i go swim with them, or only dive?
Thanks for every advice

I think you will not easly find accomodation under 40 Euro a person on Praslin and La Digue. There is no real supermarket on La Digue. They do not really sell anything. You should bring your dipers and stuff. I do not recall seeing such things. Furthermore I have not seen any baby bike seats so I guess you will have to walk on la Digue or take the donkey wagon. There is no Hospital on La Digue. Praslin has something. But it is recommended to contact doctors in the 4*/5* hotels on Praslin.
