The Nærøyfjord sets itself apart from other breathtaking fjords with its nearness - in fact, "nær" means near in Norwegian; the narrowness of the fjord means that you can cruise on a ferry down the middle of it and feel quite near to the sky high stone walls on either side of your boat.

We highly recommend a few days in Mahe before heading to your smaller, more resorty island to get a better feel for the history, culture, and vibe of the Seychelles. Not to mention the beaches.
