Long Island
Long Island is a small island located off the northeast coast of Mahé in the Seychelles. It is primarily visited by travelers seeking a quiet environment and natural scenery away from the main developed areas of the archipelago.
Getting There
Access to the island is by boat from the coast of Mahé. Depending on the departure point and the vessel used, the transit time is short, as the island is located approximately 0.7km from the main island of Mahé.
Duration of Visit
A few hours are typically sufficient to explore the island and its natural surroundings. Most visitors use the location as a stop for relaxation or as part of a larger island-hopping itinerary.
When to Visit
The island is best visited during the day to ensure visibility of the landscape and safe boat transit. Visitors should check local weather conditions, as sea states can affect boat access. Because of its small size and remote nature, it does not experience the same crowds as the primary tourist hubs on Mahé.
