SEYCHELLES FISHING - INDIAN OCEAN TRIPS
Seychelles
Getting to Seychelles requires that you fly to Dubai first. (Dubai is the connecting hub for all international flights from the United States.) From Dubai, you'll take a 4.5-hour connecting flight to Mahé, Seychelles. The Republic of Seychelles is an archipelago country made up of 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. Seychelles is home to 61 IGFA records.

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. Wade and explore the Atoll's endless flats for incredible diversity. You'll stay at the land-based air-conditioned chalets right on the lagoon.
Providence Atoll is the most exciting and diverse saltwater fly fishing destination and arguably the finest GT flats fishery on the planet. Wade or sight fish up to 28.5 miles of pristine flats. Stay on Maya’s Dugong, a 135-foot expedition vessel with seven air-conditioned cabins.
