Is July the Best Time for Ocean Adventures in the Seychelles?

There’s something about July on Cousine Island that feels like a secret worth sharing.

With calm, clear seas and a gentle breeze tracing the shoreline, it’s the perfect time to embrace the Indian Ocean—not from afar, but from within it. Whether you’re craving serene paddles over coral gardens, thrilling deep-sea fishing, or a luxurious day at sea with no destination but discovery, Cousine Island invites you to make the ocean your playground.

Here, excursions aren’t just a list of activities. They’re extensions of the island’s soul—deeply immersive, personal, and rooted in respect for nature.

Set Sail Into the Blue

Private Catamaran Charters

Start your day aboard a private catamaran charter, gliding across tranquil waters to explore nearby islands or untouched beaches. With both half- and full-day options available, these bespoke voyages can include everything from guided snorkel safaris to romantic picnics on hidden sandbanks. The Indian Ocean becomes your personal canvas, painted with every shade of blue.

Dive into Wonder

Scuba Diving Excursions

For those eager to go deeper, scuba diving excursions reveal an underwater world teeming with color—coral reefs alive with tropical fish, the quiet glide of rays, and the occasional curious sea turtle. The calm waters in July offer excellent visibility, making it one of the best times to explore beneath the surface.

The Art of Stillness

Kayaking & Paddle Boarding

If you prefer to connect with the ocean at a slower pace, grab a kayak or stand-up paddleboard and set out directly from the beach. Drift along the reef’s edge, peering into shallow lagoons alive with life, or simply enjoy the rhythmic motion of the water beneath you. These quiet, zero-impact activities are perfect for sunrise reflection or late afternoon exploration.

The Thrill of the Catch

Shore & Deep-Sea Fishing

For something a little more exhilarating, July also offers ideal conditions for shoreline and deep-sea fishing. Cast your line into rich waters that have yielded mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, and even sailfish. Whether you’re fishing from the shore or aboard a boat, it’s a challenge seasoned anglers and curious beginners alike will never forget.

The best part? Our chefs will prepare your catch to your taste—an ocean-to-plate experience that’s as fresh as it gets.

Wellness Meets Adventure

Detox & Replenish Packages

Of course, every great adventure deserves an equally restorative home base. That’s where our Detox and Replenish Packages come in.

The Detox Package is ideal for shorter, restorative stays. With six nights for the price of five and an additional 10% discount, it includes nutritious cuisine, wellness experiences, and plenty of space to reflect after time on the water.

For a longer, more immersive escape, the Replenish Package offers ten nights with a generous 20% discount. It’s perfect for guests who want to stretch out their adventure, combining marine excursions with conservation activities, spa treatments, and slow, intentional living.

Both packages allow you to design your days around the rhythm of the ocean, without sacrificing luxury, privacy, or environmental integrity.

Why July—and What About Other Months?

July stands out because of its gentle trade winds, low rainfall, and calm ocean swells.

These conditions make it easier to explore the water safely, comfortably, and for longer periods. It’s also a quieter time of year, meaning more one-on-one time with nature and our expert guides.

That said, Cousine Island remains a year-round marine sanctuary. October to December brings warm currents and peak fishing conditions, while diving and snorkeling remain exceptional across all seasons.
