All international flights arrive at Seychelles International Airport (SEZ), 8km/5mi south of Victoria on Mahé. Big hotels provide transport from the airport, but taxis are also available. Inter-island flights leave from the domestic terminal. It is also possible to travel between the islands by ferry. If you’ve booked a package, your tour operator will organize to pick you up from the airport and all your further transportation.
