How Do I Plan a Multi-Island Itinerary in the Indian Ocean?

Start by choosing 2–3 islands that complement each other in style, vibe, and logistics—then work with a luxury travel designer who understands the inter-island connections.Think: Mauritius + Réunion + Rodrigues for a cultural trio, or Seychelles + Maldives for pure barefoot luxury.

🧭 Step-by-Step Island Itinerary Planning

1. Choose Your Island Combo Wisely

• Mauritius + Rodrigues: Balanced relaxation and off-grid nature.

• Seychelles + Maldives: Luxury beach immersion.

• Madagascar + Mozambique islands: Wild nature meets castaway chic.

  
  

2. Mind the Transfers

There are few direct flights between Indian Ocean islands—routes often go through Johannesburg, Nairobi, or Dubai.Use an expert who understands these air links and can sequence your itinerary efficiently.

3. Match the Seasons

Different islands have different peak seasons—combine only those that align.

4. Balance Activity and Rest

Don't hop too quickly. Stay at least 4 nights per island to avoid travel fatigue.

🌟 Why Work With a Specialist?

Island-hopping in the Indian Ocean isn’t like Europe or the Caribbean. Distances are longer, connections fewer, and luxury is all about the small details.A travel designer like Godefroy Africa can streamline logistics while curating authentic experiences on each island.
