Island-hopping with a phone connection
The Seychelles are an archipelago, and most visitors move between the main islands of Mahe, Praslin and La Digue by ferry. Coverage is best on the coasts and in populated areas. In the interior of the islands, on national park trails and on ferry crossings the signal can weaken or drop.
This eSIM uses the Airtel network. On Praslin and La Digue coverage depends on the spot, so download the maps and bookings you need beforehand. On the outer islands coverage is weak or missing, so anyone travelling there should not rely on data.
A local SIM is sold at the airport or in village shops, but it is registered with your passport and takes time straight after landing. With the eSIM you start at once. Data costs more in the Seychelles than in many other destinations, so pick a small plan if you use hotel wifi a lot. The plan is data only.
If you stay in a small guesthouse or hop between islands by ferry, your own connection is a safe back-up. Load bookings and ferry timetables onto the phone, as the signal can drop on a crossing.
