From the Seychelles World / Stories

Inner and Outer Islands

The Inner Islands hold the familiar Mahé, Praslin and La Digue circuit. The Outer Islands spread across a much larger sea area and are mostly low coral islands.

Why go

The distinction helps set a realistic itinerary. Mahé's mountain scenery, Praslin's forest and La Digue's smaller scale can be compared within the Inner Islands. Aldabra, Farquhar and the Amirantes belong to the remote Outer Islands, where distance and access make them a separate planning decision.

What to look for

  • Morne Seychellois rises on Mahé, showing how mountainous the granitic islands can be.
  • Bird and Denis are coral islands near the edge of the Inner Islands group.
  • Aldabra and Farquhar are among the Outer Islands' atoll groups.
