Where to get the best currency exchange rate on Mahe, Seychelles (airport vs city)?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: today
TL;DR
The best rate is usually right at the airport exit (turn right after arrivals); there's also a smaller exchange office near Beau Vallon (by the police station) with a slightly worse rate and irregular hours.
What the community said
Confirmed: right after exiting Mahe airport, turning right, there's an exchange office with the best rate for local currency (Seychellois rupees). There's also one near the police station in Beau Vallon, but with a worse rate and unreliable opening hours.

Another traveler asks whether the airport really offers the best rate, whether there are good exchange options in town, and how currency exchange works on the islands of Praslin and La Digue.
