Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car, start from your accommodation in Praslin Island and head towards Grand Anse. Follow the main road (Cote D'Or Road) south for approximately 15 minutes until you reach the fork near the beach area. Take the right fork towards Anse Volbert for about 5 minutes. From Anse Volbert, continue further south on the same road until you arrive at Long, which is accessible by a small footpath from the main road. Make sure to park your car at designated areas as parking might be limited.

Public Transportation

To reach Long via public transportation, catch a local bus from the nearest bus stop to your location. Buses run frequently around Praslin Island. Ask the driver to drop you off at Anse Volbert. Once you arrive at Anse Volbert, walk south along the beach until you find the footpath leading to Long. The bus fare is approximately 7 SCR (Seychellois Rupees), but keep some change handy as drivers may not provide change for larger bills.

Taxi

If you prefer a more direct option, you can hire a taxi to take you to Long. Simply ask your accommodation to arrange a taxi for you. The fare from central locations like Baie Ste Anne to Long can range from 200 to 400 SCR, depending on your starting point. Once the taxi drops you off at the main road, the footpath to Long is a short walk away.
