Do I need a car on each island?

**Mahé:** Recommended if staying multiple days. The island is large (27km long) with beaches and attractions spread out. Car rental: ~SCR 800/day.

**Praslin:** Useful but not essential. Smaller island, but Anse Lazio and Vallée de Mai are easier to reach by car. Taxis and buses available.

**La Digue:** No cars for tourists! Rent a bicycle (SCR 150-200/day) - the island is small and flat, perfect for cycling. E-bikes available for the hills to Grand Anse. Ox-carts and golf cart taxis exist but cycling IS the La Digue experience.
