Private Photo Session is a private photo session based around Victoria, offered by a local operator and listed on an independent booking platform. The operator gives the length as about 30 minutes. Only your own group takes part, so the pace and the stops can usually be agreed with the guide.
This page sets out what the listing confirms, how it fits into a Seychelles itinerary and what to check before you book. Seychelles Island Guide does not run this experience; we describe it from the operator's structured listing and our own knowledge of the islands.
Private Photo Session: what the listing includes
Everyone meets the operator at the stated starting point; hotel pickup is not part of the listing. The listing does not itemise inclusions, so confirm with the operator what is provided on the day. The operator flags the activity as weather dependent, so plans can change at short notice when conditions turn. It is listed as a single activity rather than a multi-stop itinerary.
Where it takes place: Victoria
Private Photo Session takes place in or from Victoria. Victoria, on the north-east coast of Mahé, is one of the smallest capitals in the world, and its compact centre, market and clock tower can be covered on foot in a morning.
Eden Island, a residential marina development, sits just off the coast to the south-east, and boats for the Ste Anne Marine Park islands leave from this stretch of shore.
Who it suits
Private Photo Session suits couples, families and honeymooners who want photographs of themselves in the islands without carrying their own equipment. As a private booking it also works well for families and small groups who want to travel together.
Planning notes: Private Photo Session
Early morning and late afternoon give the softest light on the beaches, so discuss timing with the photographer. Confirm in advance how and when the photographs will be delivered.
The Seychelles is warm all year; the north-west monsoon from about December to March brings more humid, showery weather, while the south-east trades from about May to October are cooler and breezier.
Before you book
Availability, the current price and the booking itself are handled by the booking platform on behalf of the operator.
