Round Island, Mahe

Round Island

Round Island is a small landmass located off the northeast coast of Mahé. Travelers visit this location primarily for its proximity to the capital and its role as part of the surrounding marine environment. It serves as a quiet point of interest for those exploring the waters around the main island.

Getting There

The island is accessible via boat from Victoria. Because of its short distance from the city center, the transit time is brief, typically taking a short boat ride depending on the departure point and vessel speed.

Duration of Visit

Due to its small size, visitors generally spend a few hours here. This allows enough time to observe the immediate surroundings before continuing to other nearby locations.

When to Visit

The island is best visited during daylight hours. Like much of the Seychelles, weather patterns vary by season, so checking local forecasts for sea conditions is advised. It is generally less crowded than the primary tourist hubs on Mahé.

Combining Your Trip

Because of its location, this site is easily combined with other nearby islands and protected areas. You can visit:

  • Sainte Anne Marine National Park (0.4km)
  • Long Island (0.7km)
  • Moyenne Island (0.7km)
  • Cerf Island (1.3km)
