Pros and cons of traveling to Seychelles in February

At least once in your life you should go to the Seychelles and enjoy the tropical climate and magnificent views of the islands. But a February trip to exotic islands has both advantages and disadvantages.

• Advantages. A warm and sunny climate all year round, stunning white sand beaches, rich and varied marine life, and plenty of outdoor activities. There are fewer people in the Seychelles in February than in other months. While July, August and December are the high tourist season, February has fewer visitors. Exploring the archipelago is much more enjoyable and you'll get more enjoyment from strolling along the many beaches of the Seychelles. Tourist sites are more accessible, because there are no annoying crowds of tourists.
• Flaws. The main disadvantage of traveling in February is the weather. After all, you can easily get caught in tropical downpours. But there is a nuance here: the islands are unique, and if in one part of the island it rains and the weather is raging, then the opposite part can be sunny and clear.
