Seychelles International Airport sits on Mahé. Use your connection to pull up the accommodation address and send your host an arrival time. If a driver is meeting you, agree on the exact pickup point instead of only sharing 'the airport'.
Getting from the airport to your departure jetty is a separate journey, so leave time for it. Check current taxi and bus options and luggage rules before you pick the bus, especially if a ferry is waiting.

Save before you goThe accommodation pin, the driver's details and any onward ferry confirmation, saved so you don't have to reopen an email attachment.
Cat Cocos runs between Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. Check the operator's current schedule for your date and islands before locking accommodation to a crossing, since a sailing shown one day isn't guaranteed the next.
Before you board, use data to pull up the reservation and confirm where your next host meets you. Save the island name, jetty and accommodation entrance together so you can find them the moment you step off.
One Seychelles plan can cover an island-hopping route wherever Airtel Seychelles reaches, but that says nothing about signal at sea or on every beach. Store tickets offline and hold big photo backups for Wi-Fi.
