Tipping in Seychelles
Our travellers often ask for our advice on how, who, when and how much to tip when on holiday in the Seychelles. With this in mind, we have highlighted below some of the issues involved and the etiquette of tipping, which we hope will help guide you in what can sometimes be seen as an area that is bit of a minefield.Tipping is not typically expected in the Seychelles, as a service charge is usually added to/included in the bill.
However, here are some guidelines if you have received exceptional service and would like to leave something extra – it’s always appreciated:
Tipping at restaurants and bars
Restaurant bills normally include a service charge. Servers and bar staff don’t expect to receive tips, but giving something extra for exceptional service will always be appreciated. Around 5-10% of the bill would be considered a generous tip.
