Seychelles Islands - official video

Seychelles is an island nation with 115 islands full of natural beauty. They are in two distinct groups including the Inner Island Group and the Outer Island Group. The 41 granitic Inner Islands cluster around the three principal islands of Praslin, La Digue and Mahe. There are also two coral islands in the Inner Island Group. They are Denis Island and Bird Island. Sailing around the Seychelles’ Inner Islands offers miles of scenic coastline with safe anchorages and over 65 beaches on Mahe alone as well as many secret coves and grottoes.

The Outer Islands are 72 coral islands and form an arc towards Africa. The six distinct island groups in the Outer Islands are the Amirantes, the Alphonse Group, the Southern Coral Group, the Farquhar Group and Aldabra. They all lie between 260 and 865 miles from the east coast of Africa.

As part of RGM's work for the Seychelles Tourism Board, we filmed and edited a suite of films, that included Sailing, Diving, Weddings and Honeymoons, and Flora and Fauna, with a 10 minute main film to encapsulate the beauty of the islands. Here is the short version of that film. We hope you enjoy it!

Farquhar - these flats are alive!

Farquhar Atoll - one of the most remote Outer Islands of the Seychelles, located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, not far north of Madagascar. A vast geological past lies behind this elevation of volcanic rock, creating a unique habitat for both land and marine life. However, a long history of commercial fishing and ecological exploitation overshadowed the fate of this incredibly fragile ecosystem for a long time. Luckily, in recent years, local authorities have started to protect it by implementing sustainable use practices.

In 2016, a massive cyclone devastated the Island, its infrastructure, vegetation, and shallow reef areas, leaving it decimated. A long period of reconstruction paved the way for the first eco-tourists to return years later. Slowly, the ecosystem started to recover, the reefs continued to blossom and most endemic species returned, not lastly thanks to the implementation of strict fishing guidelines imposed on the guests visiting conservation measures, and scientific research.

When COVID shut down global travel, nobody was able to reach Farquhar Atoll for 13 months, nobody saw it, and nobody fished it. This film revolves around a small group of anglers, who were fortunate enough to visit the island for the first time in over a year. When they arrived, they found themselves in a healthy ecosystem, vibrant, and teeming with life. As though the absence of men had cleansed and healed the atoll. After a long road of recovery – Farquhar’s flats are alive!

Amateur home movie of tour to the Seychelles.
Small motorised boat heads to shore with tourist passengers. An island in the Seychelles, probably Praslin. View from the small dock out to sea and view of other islands in the distance. Kids are on the concrete jetty. Five teenage girls dressed in white uniforms (girl guides?) in a line.

Seychelles has been described as a Paradise on Earth, there's your chance to learn a little bit about it vast culture, through it's people's music.

The history of Seychelles dates back to the fourth of the Portuguese India Armadas led by Vasco da Gama, though Seychelles was likely already known to Arab navigators and other sailors for many centuries. On 15 March 1503, the scrivener Thomé Lopes noted the sighting of an elevated island, doubtless one of the granitic islands and almost certainly Silhouette Island. The first recorded landing was by the men of the English East India Company ship Ascension, which arrived in Seychelles in January 1609. The islands were claimed by France in 1756. Seychelles remained uninhabited until the first settlers arrived on board the ship Thélemaque, which arrived on 27 August 1770. Captain Leblanc Lecore landed the first colonists, comprising 15 white men, eight Africans and five Indians. The Seychellois Creole language developed as a means of communication between the different races. The British frigate Orpheus commanded by Captain Henry Newcome arrived at Mahé on 16 May 1794. Terms of capitulation were drawn up and the next day Seychelles was surrendered to Britain. Following the fall of Mauritius to British forces, Captain Phillip Beaver of the Nisus arrived at Mahé on 23 April 1811 and took possession of Seychelles as a permanent colony of Britain. The Seychelles became an independent republic in 1976. Following a coup d'état, a socialist one-party state ruled the country from 1977 to 1993. The subsequent democratic Presidential elections were won by candidates of the same party.
Pre-colonial history
The early history of Isle de Séchelles or Seychelles is unknown. Austronesians from Borneo, who eventually settled on Madagascar, perhaps lingered here circa 200-300 AD. Arab navigators, on trading voyages across the Indian Ocean, were probably aware of the islands, although they did not settle them.

Arabs were trading the highly valued coco de mer nuts, found only in Seychelles, long before European discovery of the islands. The rotted-out nuts can float and were found washed ashore in the Maldives and Indonesia.

Age of "Discoveries" and colonisation
On 15 March 1503, Vasco da Gama, crossing from India to East Africa, sighted what was almost certainly Silhouette Island and the next day, Desroches Island. The granitic islands began to appear on Portuguese charts as the Seven Sisters.

In March 1608, a trading fleet of the English East India Company set sail for India. Lost in a storm, the Ascension's crew saw "high land" on 19 January 1609 and headed for it. They anchored "as in a pond". They found an uninhabited island with plentiful fresh water, fish, coconuts, birds, turtles and giant tortoises with which to replenish their stores. The Ascension sailed, and reported what they had found, but the British took no action.

Last year, a long-awaited dream came true. To be able to fully enjoy the dreamlike island world off the coast of Africa, we took 4 weeks on the main islands of Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. The #islandhopping was definitely an experience itself and the crossings were sometimes very rocky ;-) Our tip is to organize the accommodation yourself and not to book a package tour. In this way you can organize your time on site flexibly and get the best out of the postcard idyll for example @ Anse Source d'Argent!

If you are looking for good accommodations where you can also stay with smaller children, here is our list of hotels and guesthouses. You may try to ask them directly instead via an agency or middleman. Sometimes you get better deals.

Mahé: Grand Kaz: https://goo.gl/maps/29F1Ude1YFVU7ZyUA
Praslin: Indian Ocean Lodge: https://goo.gl/maps/HX2QpcnmsRW9qXSMA
Praslin: Chevalier Bay Guesthouse: https://www.lechevalierbay.com/ The only guesthouse at the most beautiful beach of Praslin! Very friendly owner!
La Digue: Chloe's Cottage https://goo.gl/maps/U6sGHk7hou9jkwkx6
Very close to the best take away of the island (and maybe the whole seychelles). The owning family and the personell is very friendly and helpful. Special greetings and mentioning to the owners, to Franco, Steven and especially his daughter Anja who got friends with our kids very fast. They had a great time together!

This programme on the Seychelles Tourism Board reveals an archipelago which remains to this day a hidden treasure, and the land of perpetual summer where you can find, not only some of the best beaches, but also astonishing wildlife...

The Seychelles is known as a tropical paradise with a multi-million dollar tourist industry. But beyond the 5-star hotels and azure beaches is a country in turmoil. Based on population, Seychelles has the biggest heroin problem in the world with around 10% of Seychellois dependent on the drug. Joseph Fady Banane, who’s lived on the islands all his life, was one of them.

Now free of heroin, Fady investigates the secret epidemic that lies behind the luxury. Meeting drug users, dealers, police, and the communities caught in the middle, Fady confronts a painful past and tries to reconnect with those he loves…and almost lost.

Description:
We are in Victoria, the largest city and capital of the Seychelles. Its location is at the southeastern tip of Mahé Island, the archipelago's main island.
The film opens with Victoria’s port and a fishing boat. Shots from a port’s officer, the boat that has sailed away, a waving flag and the lens stands on the market with people who shop from a store. Afterwards, we see a building with the label “PIRATES ARMS”, the street as well as the city’s building structure with the camera showing the bank building. The filmmaker shows us a speedboat that reaches the shore and the fisherman who starts throwing the fish to the shore.
The view changes with shots from the city and a sign which informs us that we are on the street "Francis Rachel St - Rue Francis Rachel". We see a lot of people who come and go for their daily work as well as tourists. The filming continues with the traffic on the streets and one more sign that says "Market Street Rue Du Bazar" while we also see several shop signs. A road sign of "St Joseph Street - Rue St Joseph" and the filmmaker standing in the historic La Domus building, the imposing residence of the Roman Catholic priesthood in Victoria, built in 1934 to house Swiss missionaries serving in the Diocese of Port Victor.
The film closes with a local man who climbs a tall palm tree.
