5.00Be out in time for check-in and boarding. Depending on the lake and if you are prone to seasickness choose the ticket that suits you personally
Good experience

4.00Good experience with them, even though I find the trips to be overly expensive. Went from Mahè to Praslin and back, I needed to change the return trip to Mahè a few hours before its schedule and was able to do so by paying just a very small fee (25 SCR). Overall the boarding process is good, it would be great if the wait time for the bags to be dropped was definitely shorter.
Good organization, rough seas in the summer months

3.00The organization (boarding, luggage loading, punctual departure, etc.) was good. In the summer months only partially recommended due to the sea conditions (especially immediately after a flight from Europe). Many passengers threw up several times, the crew takes care of routinely, collects the spit bags and hands over new ones as well as paper towels. 1 hour crossing can be long. If necessary, prefer to book the flight.
Catastrophic crossing – A horror
maxfG5181CG,Jul 9, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00The ferry from Praslin to Mahé was the absolute horror. It already stunk when boarding, inside it was stuffy and poorly ventilated. During the crossing, almost all the passengers around us vomited, chaos everywhere, no help from the staff. Just a cheek! This was by far the worst experience in the Seychelles – I would never take this ferry again and can only strongly advise against it!
Mahe ferry pros and cons

- Review from Viator
5.00The process is very smooth for booking ferry on viator, you just have to show at the ferry, the a bar code, which is provided by message. Expert tip - try exchanging money in SCR and do the trips, trips included everything - car rental, snorkeling, even ferry😂 its a little cheaper Don't exchange on airport, they take extra charges without even telling
Comfortable journey

4.00Everything worked fine. Have read many bad reviews here but we had no problems. Went both in the air-conditioned cabin and on the upper deck, but recommend the air-conditioned cabin when it was very hot to sit outside. Don't forget to bring your passport, which is always needed in the Seychelles.
Got Scammed

1.00Paid for tickets in advance, but couldn't come to Seychelles due to health reasons. Asked for refund, provided corresponding necessary documents, but they left on read (they are being silent for 1+ month now despite my follow ups)
Basic but comfortable trip .

5.00Pleasant trip , efficient staff , no issues with tickets . Air conditioned cabin , we traveled early so not too crowded. Use of a top deck if desired.
Bring your passport!

3.00Bring your passport! Despite it being a domestic crossing, you are required to carry your passport! One day trip to another island in the Seychells requires a passport.
