go there

Money Spending
The unit of currency in the Seychelles is the
Rupee although Euros and US Dollars are widely
used. Credit cards are generally accepted at
hotels and resorts while prices for car hire,
diving, park fees and any other extras are
usually quoted in Euros (or less frequently in US
Dollars). In fact the only time youll ever
really need Seychelles Rupees is for purchases at
local markets or restaurants.

Tipping
Tipping is not obligatory in the Seychelles,
however, any extra change is greatly appreciated.
Tipping at your hotel is entirely at your
discretion. You can either tip individual staff
members whose service you appreciate by leaving
money in an envelope for them. Otherwise just
leave a general tip at reception which will be
shared equally among the staff.
