Questions I’m often asked
When is the best time to visit the Indian Ocean islands?
It depends on the island and what you want from the trip. Tropical destinations are often all year round destinations. You can pop me a message, with what you have in mind, and we can go from there.
Do I need a visa?
Many islands are easy for South African passport holders, but the rules change and differ by island. I’ll check the current requirements for your passport and dates when I quote.
Is all-inclusive worth it?
Often, yes, especially on islands where you’ll eat most meals at the resort, and where you need to purchase your drinks. Even water, can run up quite a bill in the summer time. I’ll compare meal plans for your resort so you can see what makes sense for you.
Can you combine an island with a stopover?
Absolutely. With some of the flights, we can do a quick stopover in another country, and you can visit another destination on your itinerary.
