recommendations for excursions

Dear Canarymoon...thanks for your comments re. my photos Sapphire Princess Beiging to Bangkok this October past.

Our next trip is with the Costa Marina to the Seychelles and it seems you have a great knowledge of this area.

We are planning to do 2 or 3 of the ships excursions.....but there are several that we would prefer to do privately, in particular the following:

(a) Port Luis (as we will be there more than one day); (b) Mahe in Seychelles, (c) Nossi-Be y (d) Nosy Be and Tamatave both in Madagascar, (e) St. Denis, Reunion.....& (f) Mayotte.

Any ideas?

In particular we are interested in seeing the giant tortoises and I have also seen a helicopter trip advertised...but no idea yet of their price!!!!

Also any tips regarding distances from the port where the ship will berth to the town centers etc. would be a great help, or any useful internet sites would be great.

What about the language...is it only French....or will English speakers find it easy to communicate if they donīt speak French?

And 2 last questions: Currency....must one change to the local currency or do they accept any others: dollars, euros?

And what vaccinations would be necessary and how long in advance should one have this done?

Hope anyone can help me
