Ferry connections from La Digue to Mahe

There are a few Seychelles Ferry options to consider before you book ferry tickets La Digue Mahe. Cat Cocos offers a few options, with most of their daily services routing via Praslin. On Saturday and Sunday afternoons, they also offer a non-stop ferry La Digue Mahe, which travels directly from La Digue Harbour to the Inter Island Quay in Mahe in just 75 minutes!

However, there may be days when the Cat Cocos departure times do not fit your plans, especially when their last departure is around lunchtime. So, we suggest combining two ferry companies for the latest possible departure from La Digue on these days. First, take the La Digue to Praslin ferry, operated by Cat Rose and then the Praslin to Mahe ferry with Cat Cocos.

The minimum connection time on Praslin is 15 minutes. Both Cat Cocos and Cat Rose (Inter Island Ferry) use the same Praslin jetty, so transferring from one company to another is quick and easy. To help plan your trip, use the Seychelles Ferry Schedule to compare timings for both companies.

On arrival in Praslin, simply collect your luggage from the Cat Rose ferry and make your way over to the Cat Cocos ferry, which is moored just a short distance away. Show the crew your Cat Cocos Boarding Pass (if received digitally) and check-in for the onward journey to Mahe. Should you not have your Cat Cocos Boarding Pass, pop into the Creole Travel Services jetty office for assistance.

This option is slightly more expensive than the Cat Cocos La Digue Mahe ticket price. Still, even if the overall journey time is a little longer than usual, you'll have gained a couple of extra hours on La Digue, giving you more time to experience some of our La Digue activities.

Boarding Process

For the ferry journey back from La Digue to Mahe, you should check in at least 30 minutes before departure. A digital Boarding Pass will be sent to you by email approximately 24-48 hours before your travel date. Should you not have your boarding pass when you get to the La Digue jetty, please look for a Creole Travel Services jetty host for assistance.

Boarding starts 30 minutes before departure and ends 5 minutes before the scheduled departure time when the Boarding Gate closes.

Passengers travelling from La Digue to Mahe with Cat Cocos will usually remain on the same vessel during the short stopover in Praslin. Should it be necessary to transfer from one Cat Cocos ferry to another, your luggage will be transferred between ships by the Cat Cocos crew. This also applies to the journey from Mahe to La Digue, where the crew would transfer your luggage from the Mahe to Praslin ferry to the connecting ferry to La Digue.

Baggage Allowance

All passengers (except infants) can bring one piece of carry-on baggage not exceeding 7kg with maximum dimensions of 50cm X 30 cm X 20cm. Any carry-on baggage exceeding this will be deemed ‘checked baggage’ and will be stowed in the cargo compartment.

• Economy Class: Maximum allowance = 25kg
• Business Class: Maximum allowance = 30kg

As long as the total weight of all pieces does not exceed the maximum allowance, multiple bags are permitted. Excess Luggage will be charged at €3.00 per kilo.

Hotel and Airport Transfers

Shared taxi transfers to La Digue Harbour from your hotel or guesthouse are available to all Cat Cocos passengers when booking a La Digue to Mahe ferry ticket with Seychellesbookings.com (transfer fees apply).

Upon arrival in Mahe, Airport Transfers are available from the jetty directly to Seychelles International Airport for only €10 per person. Buses leave the jetty immediately after each ferry arrival once all transferring passengers have disembarked and collected their luggage.

Alternatively, you can book a Shuttle Bus transfer to your Mahe hotel or resort. Again, buses depart after each ferry arrival and cost €14 per person, which is cheaper than a taxi in almost all cases!

For those staying on Mahe, there's plenty to see and do. While home to the nation's capital, Victoria, the island is also a real tropical getaway, packed with great sites to visit and explore. Check out our Mahe travel tips and Mahe Activities.
