Black Pearl (Seychelles) LTD
Exquisite black pearls are cultured at the only oyster farm in
the Indian Ocean, but that is not all you can investigate at this
attraction which, apart from displaying the art of cultivating
pearls in the Black Lip Pearl Oyster, also explains the breeding
and feeding of the Giant Clam species, Tridacna maxima. The farm
features a touch pool and aquarium, and of course the black pearls
are on sale in the onsite jewellery store.

Money
The Seychelles currency is the Rupee (SCR), divided into 100
cents. The country's foreign exchange regulations require visitors
to pay for all services provided by hotels, guesthouses and
self-catering enterprises, as well as things like car hire,
entrance fees to parks and reserves, scuba diving and boat charter,
in major foreign currency notes (Euros are the most widely used) or
by credit card. Taxis and restaurant bills (not connected to
hotels) are payable in foreign or Seychelles Rupees. Rupees can
only be used in local shops, markets, and bars. Credit cards are
widely welcomed throughout the Seychelles. Money can be exchanged
at banks and the airport on Mahé, or at hotels, and banks process
travellers cheques. To change Rupees back into foreign currency on
departure requires the official receipt from the initial
transaction. ATMs are available at major banks on Mahé, Praslin and
La Digue.
