Flying is cheapest early morning or late evening (~5,000 RUB), but convenient daytime slots can cost 18,000+ RUB; a helicopter route via La Digue costs about the same ~5,000 RUB per person.
What the community said
A helicopter route Mahe–La Digue–Praslin–Mahe cost about 5,000 RUB per person — a good way to combine transfer with sightseeing on La Digue.

Flying between the islands ended up cheaper and faster than alternative options, though prices are still noticeable.
