TL;DR
Yes, Mastercard is widely accepted in Seychelles, but the card must be activated, and some terminals require inserting the card and entering a PIN instead of just tapping.
Mastercard works in Seychelles as long as the card is activated. Some terminals don't support contactless payment — you may need to insert the card into the chip reader and enter your PIN, depending on the specific terminal.
A $50 gift certificate may not cover the cost of a trail/hike excursion — check the exact price in advance as it might not be enough.
The cost of issuing a bank card varies by issuing bank — check the current rate before your trip.
