You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Know more about traveling from Beau Vallon, Seychelles
Beau Vallon is about 5 kilometers (3 miles) from Victoria, the capital of Mahe Island, and the drive takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes by taxi or private car. Public buses run regularly between Beau Vallon and Victoria and are an affordable option, though they operate on a set schedule and stop running in the early evening. Victoria is worth a visit for its clocktower, colorful market, and botanical gardens.
Beau Vallon is excellent for families. The beach is long, calm, and safe for swimming, with no dangerous currents or sharp coral near the shore. Water sports operators cater to all ages, and the relaxed, walkable beachfront means families can move easily between restaurants, shops, and the water. The Wednesday and Saturday evening bazaar markets are fun for all ages and offer local crafts and Creole street food.
The food scene in Beau Vallon is anchored by fresh seafood and Seychellois Creole cuisine. Look out for grilled red snapper, octopus curry, shark chutney, breadfruit chips, and ladob (a coconut milk dessert). The Wednesday evening Bazar Labrin market on the beachfront is a great place to sample local dishes from food stalls at affordable prices.
The Seychellois rupee (SCR) is the official currency. Major credit cards are accepted at most hotels, restaurants, and dive centers, but it's useful to carry some cash in rupees for local markets, smaller food stalls, and buses. US dollars and euros can be exchanged at banks and authorized exchange offices, though you'll generally get better rates in town rather than at the airport.
The Seychelles has three official languages: Seychellois Creole, English, and French. Seychellois Creole is the most widely spoken in everyday life, while English is commonly used in business, hotels, and restaurants. Most locals in Beau Vallon involved in hospitality speak English well, so communication is rarely a challenge for international visitors.
Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory in the Seychelles. Many restaurants include a service charge on the bill, so it is worth checking before adding an extra tip. If service is not included, leaving around 10% is a generous gesture. Hotel staff, dive instructors, and private boat operators also appreciate a small tip for good service. Tips can be given in Seychellois rupees, US dollars, or euros.
Beau Vallon is one of the best spots in the Seychelles for water sports and diving. There are multiple dive centers along the beach, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced divers, with over many other dive sites accessible nearby. Snorkeling, kayaking, parasailing, windsurfing, and deep-sea fishing are all available. Whale sharks are sometimes spotted in the area between August and November, which is a special draw for snorkelers and divers.
The best time to visit Beau Vallon is from May through September, during the southeast trade wind season. The weather is pleasant and warm (though a few degrees cooler than in summer months), with lower humidity and calmer seas. This is also peak season, so expect higher prices. From October to April, the weather is hotter and wetter, with the northwest monsoon potentially bringing rougher seas.

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
