Wandr's recommendations

  • Seychelles is safe, with minimal travel-related health risks.

  • The CDC recommends routine vaccinations and hepatitis A for most travelers.

  • Mosquito-borne illnesses like dengue can occur, so insect precautions are advised.

  • Healthcare is adequate on the main islands, but advanced care may require evacuation.

  • Tap water is often safe in resorts, but bottled water is preferred in more remote areas.
