Yes! Book a private, door-to-door airport transfer with a local English-speaking driver. Enjoy fixed and transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the option to pay in advance without the hassle of exchanging cash at a foreign airport.
You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Anse Boileau sits on the west coast of Mahé, roughly 12 km (7.5 miles) from Victoria by road. The drive typically takes around 25 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and the route taken through the island's central hills. A private transfer is by far the most comfortable option — the roads wind through lush interior landscapes, and having a knowledgeable driver means you can take in the scenery rather than navigate unfamiliar bends.
Three to five hours is a comfortable window. That gives you time to walk the full length of the beach, watch the local fishing boats come and go, and settle into lunch at one of the beachfront restaurants without feeling rushed. If you want to combine it with a nearby stop — the Barbarons area or a viewpoint along the west coast road — plan for the longer end of that range or build in a flexible return time.
It is one of the better choices on Mahé for families. The offshore reef significantly reduces wave action, keeping the water calm and shallow close to shore — conditions that work well for young swimmers or those who simply want to wade. The relaxed pace of the village also means there is no crowds-and-noise pressure that can wear families down at more popular spots. Bring shade and snacks for younger children, as facilities are low-key by design.
The beach itself is the main draw, but the experience is richer than just sunbathing. Snorkeling near the reef edge is worthwhile if conditions are calm. The village is a genuine fishing community, so early arrivals may catch the morning boat activity. The beachfront restaurants are a highlight in their own right — this is a strong spot to try Creole cuisine in an unpretentious setting. For those interested in exploring further, the surrounding area offers winding coastal roads and hillside views that reward a short detour.
Anse Boileau offers something rare in the Seychelles: an unhurried, genuinely local atmosphere. Unlike the busier tourist beaches, this west coast district retains the rhythm of a working fishing village. The long, calm beach is protected by an offshore reef, making the water exceptionally tranquil. Add in a handful of well-regarded beachfront restaurants serving fresh catches, and you have the makings of a deeply relaxed, authentically Seychellois day out.
Public transport connections on Mahé are limited and can involve long waits and route changes that eat into your day. Taxis are available but involve fixed-rate negotiation and no flexibility once you're dropped off. A Daytrip private transfer gets you there directly, on your own schedule, with a local driver who can advise on the best spots when you arrive — and who will be waiting when you are ready to leave, so your day is not dictated by bus timetables or taxi availability.
2+ million travelers like you. Moments they'll never forget.
So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
