Getting to Seychelles requires that you fly to Dubai first. (Dubai is the connecting hub for all international flights from the United States.) You'll take a 4.5-hour connecting flight from Duubai to Mahé, Seychelles. The Republic of Seychelles is an archipelago country comprising 115 islands in the Western Indian Ocean. Seychelles International Airport is located on the main island of Mahé, making it a natural reference point for the other islands.

The Alphonse Atoll in Seychelles is renowned for its expansive sea flats--up to 10,000 acres of white sand flats provide easy wading and world-class fishing. Perhaps the most challenging fish to catch is the fabled milkfish, a turbo-charged algae eater that can grow to over 40 pounds. Very nice accommodations.
Cosmoledo’s large white sand flats, lagoon edges, and channels are without question ruled by the notorious giant trevally, so much so that it is often referred to as “the GT capital of the world.” For this fly-fishing adventure, Cosmoledo has a new land-based Eco-Camp on Wizard Island. The Lodge hosts 12 anglers per week.
Farquhar Atoll in Seychelles is one of the best saltwater fly fishing trips in the world, combining expansive flats with offshore opportunities and a land-based lodge.
