Local Scams in Seychelles:
• Overpriced Taxi or “No Meter” Scam:
Drivers refuse to use the meter or quote high prices after the ride.
Tip: Agree on the price before starting or use hotel-recommended taxis.

• Beachside “Guides” or Tours Without Permits:
Fake guides offering boat trips or island tours take money and disappear or provide unsafe services.
Tip: Book excursions through verified hotels or agencies.

• Jet Ski / Equipment Damage Scam:
Operators claim damage to rented jet skis or bikes and demand large repair fees.
Tip: Inspect equipment and take photos before use.

• Fake Turtle or Animal Encounters:
Locals offering “exclusive” turtle feeding or wildlife tours in unauthorized areas for high prices.
Tip: Confirm wildlife tours are official, especially near marine parks.

2025 Trending / Digital Travel Scams:
• Fake Accommodation Listings (Online):
Scam websites or fake ads list villas or beachfront stays that don’t exist.
Tip: Book through trusted platforms or directly with the property.

• Crypto Payment Scam:
Scammers request payments in cryptocurrency for stays, tours, or vehicle rentals, then vanish.
Tip: Avoid paying large amounts via crypto unless through verified, official partners.

• Currency Exchange Street Scams:
Individuals offer “better” rates than banks, then short-change tourists or give fake notes.
Tip: Exchange money only at banks or authorized locations.

• Credit Card Skimming:
Small shops or street vendors skim card details during payment.
Tip: Use cash for small transactions, check card statements often.

Seychelles-Specific 2025 Warning:
• Fake Boat Charters / Fishing Trips targeting tourists in Victoria and Beau Vallon
• “Special” Night Events or Adult Clubs leading to overpriced bills or blackmail threats
• Craft Market Price Trick: Marked-up prices for “rare” handmade goods, sometimes imported cheaply

Culture & Manners (Respectful Behavior):
• Seychellois are polite, laid-back, and value greetings — always say “Good morning” or “Good afternoon” when entering shops or speaking to locals.
• Avoid public arguments or loud behavior; considered rude and disrespectful.
• Personal space is important — avoid being overly touchy with strangers.

Dress Code:
• Beachwear is for the beach only — Do not wear bikinis, swimsuits, or go shirtless in towns, villages, or shops.
• In religious sites (churches, temples), cover shoulders and knees.
• Nudity is illegal on all beaches — topless sunbathing is only accepted at very remote beaches but technically discouraged.
• Dress casually smart if visiting local homes or upscale restaurants.

Gestures & Communication:
• Avoid pointing with a finger — use your whole hand or nod in the direction.
• Direct eye contact is polite but aggressive staring is offensive.
• Beckoning someone with your finger is seen as rude — wave your hand instead.
• Public displays of affection (kissing, hugging) are okay for tourists but should be moderate, especially around elders or in villages.

Strictly Not To Do:
• Do not disrespect or litter on beaches, nature reserves, or marine parks — heavy fines apply.
• Do not collect shells, corals, or turtles/tortoises — illegal without a permit.
• Do not photograph locals without asking — especially fishermen, markets, or private homes.
• Do not discuss politics or criticize the government publicly.
• Do not buy or use drugs — penalties are severe, including jail.
• Do not feed or harass wildlife (especially giant tortoises or marine life).
• Do not walk alone at night on isolated beaches — rare but occasional thefts.
