KNOW YOUR DESTINATION
The Indian Ocean is quite the showstopper, showcasing some of the most indescribable islands on the planet. Maldives…Mauritius…and Seychelles.
Maldives
The people in Maldives live a simple, unhurried lifestyle, and are extremely devout to their Islamic religion. Even though Maldivian Dhivehi is the official language, English is widely spoken.
Mauritius
There is much to love about Mauritius and it’s not just because of its organic, mountainous beauty and pristine beaches, but also because of its melting pot of cultures, religions, and friendly smiles welcoming you to their land. English is the official language, but French and Creole are widely spoken.
Seychelles
This multicultural, laid-back island is home to warm-hearted people who work hard to protect and preserve their natural and enchanted verdant landscape. English, French, and Seychellois Creole are commonly spoken throughout the island.
Sychelles’ warm-hearted people welcome visitors to their enchanting, natural landscape.
