From my experience, it’s a mix, but the balance depends a lot on the style of the trip. Our day had moments of cruising past islands and stopping for views, but there was also plenty of time to just sit back, swim, or relax while moving between spots. I looked into
boat trips in seychelles beforehand to understand the pace, and that helped manage expectations. What stood out was how scenic Seychelles boat cruises naturally slow things down — the views are constant, so even “travel time” feels like part of the experience rather than a transition.
