<p> Customs: U.S. citizens entering Seychelles need a passport
but no visa. Health requirements change; check latest
information.
</p>
<p> Climate and Clothing: Light, tropical clothing is suitable
year round. Ties are not worn.
</p>
<p> Health: Public health and sanitation facilities, while good,
are not up to U.S. standards, but Seychelles' size and isolation
reduce the risk of contracting tropical diseases.
</p>
<p> Telecommunications: Seychelles has excellent telegraphic
service, and direct dial service for international calls is
available. Victoria is nine time zones ahead of eastern standard
time.
</p>
<p> Transportation: Mahe Airport is served by five international
air carriers. A few cruise ships call at Port Victoria each
year. Inter-island transportation from Mahe to the other main
islands is provided by Air Seychelles, ferries, and private
launches. Buses, taxis, and rental cars are readily available on
Mahe and Praslin. Traffic moves on the left.
</p>
<p> Tourist attractions: Beaches, water sports, Marine National
Park, Vallee de Mai (home of the coco de mer palm) on Praslin
Island, La Digue Island, Bird Island, and Aldabra refuge.
