Multiple DVOW Finalist Hayden Kast does it again with this fantastic piece from the Seychelles, an island nation of the western Indian Ocean.  The video features footage of Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue, three of the 42 granitic islands which make up the archipelago.  Mahé is the largest of the Seychelles by land area, and its population accounts for about 75% of the island's roughly 100k permanent residents.  Praslin is the second-largest island; it lies about 27 mi. (around 44 km) northeast of Mahé, with La Digue just to its east.   

The Seychelles is an archipelago nation in the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of East Africa.  It consists of 115 separate tropical islands to explore, the vast majority of which are uninhabited.  Top contributor and drone pilot Christian Cuvelier used his DJI Phantom 4 drone to create this incredible tour of this tropical paradise.  The stunning blue water set against the lush green islands and the colorful watercraft makes for a mesmerizing aerial tour.   This video was shot in the summer of 2017.

The Indian Ocean island archipelago nation of the Seychelles has a population of only about 100k, making it the smallest country in Africa on that measure.  What it lacks in size though it more than compensates with stunning beauty, which is spread across over 100 islands east of the large African island of Madagascar.  As contributor Paul Vlad shows in this aerial video he created with a DJI Mavic Pro drone, this is a paradise which compares favorably with any tropical area anywhere in the world.  

The Seychelles Islands of the western Indian Ocean are characterized by some of the most brilliant colors to be found anywhere.  Contributor and drone pilot Gregstachura treats us to an amazing aerial tour of La Digue, the largest island in this tropical paradise nation.  The video includes bird's eye views of Anse Source d'Argent, Anse Severe, Anse Cocos, Anse La Reunion, Anse Marron, Petite Anse, Grand Anse, Coco island, Felicite Island, Anse Gaulettes, Anse Patates, Anse Pierrot, and Anse Severe.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Winner Kukiis brings us this magnificent drone video from the Seychelles, an island nation in the western Indian Ocean.  Extremely well-edited, the video combines drone (DJI Mavic Pro 2) and ground camera footage to show off the stunning beauty of this tropical paradise, which consists of 115 separate islands (the majority of which are uninhabited) and is located about 800 mi. (around 1.3k km) east of mainland Africa.   With under 100k permanent residents, it's the least-populated country in Africa.

The Seychelles Islands in the Indian Ocean were uninhabited until they were spotted by Portuguese explorers traveling to India in the 1500's.  Later, the islands drew the interest of pirates who preyed on shipping in the area.  Now, they are a paradise vacation, offering white sand beaches and tropical forests.  In this amazing drone video, top contributor and pilot Christian Cuvelier does a great job of capturing the beauty of these islands, which number over 100 and many of which are uninhabited.

Somewhere in the Indian Ocean island nation of the Seychelles, there stands a trio of modern wind mills.  They spin and spin, surrounded by the gloriously blue waters of the world's third-largest ocean.  Contributor and pilot Magnus Bo Hansen flew a DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone over this scene.  He created what may be the most beautiful aerial views of modern wind turbines ever created.  The Seychelles has established a target of generating 15% of its electricity through windpower by 2030.

A trip to the Seychelles Isands in the Indian Ocean involved four boats, 40 friends....and one drone.  This made for an epic travel video, courtesy of contributor and pilot Sweet Ice Cream.  Using both drone and ground camera footage, he records this epic trip to this tropical paradise.  With amazing aerial shots of sailing, hidden coves, and of course stunning blue waters, this video will make you put the Seychelles on your bucket list. The islands are located due east from the Indian Island coast of Kenya. 

Top contributor and pilot Enrico Pescantini used a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone to create this epic video of the Seychelles, an archipelago nation in the western part of the Indian Ocean.  A sovereign nation since gaining independence from the United Kingdom in the mid-1970's, the group is comprised of 115 islands, which are a mix of granite, coral, and raised coral structures.  In this video you will see aerial footage of these three islands: Big Sister Island, Coco Island, and Anse Source d'Argent.

Contributor and pilot Gregstachura used a DJI Mavic Pro drone to create this magnificent aerial tour of Mahe, the largest of the Seychelles archipelago in the Indian Ocean.  The population of this tropical island is about 80,000, representing over 80% of the population of this now-independent country, which is spread out over 115 islands (some of which are uninhabited).  While the majority of the archipelago's islands are coral, Mahe and the other larger islands are granitic in structure.

Top contributor and drone pilot Christian Cuvelier brings us this marvelous dronie shot from a famous beach in the Seychelles, the tropical island nation in the western Indian Ocean.  It's called Anse Lazio Beach, and it's located on the northwestern side of Praslin Island.  Praslin is the second-most populated of the 115 islands which make up the tiny country.  Anse Lazio routinely shows up amongst the top half-dozen beaches in the world in various rankings of the world's top beach destinations.  

For a first upload to AirVuz, new contributor JueNa brings us this excellent video from the Seychelles, an Indian Ocean archipelago nation.  The video incorporates drone footage (including first person view (FPV) drone shots) with footage from ground-level and underwater cameras.  Independent from the UK since 1876, the Seychelles consists of 115 small islands (many of which are uninhabited) about 900 mi. (around 1.5k km) off the coast of North Africa.  With fewer than 100k full-time residents, it's Africa's least-populous country.

FPV pilot Smontlouis packed his quad on his trip to the breathtaking and inviting Seychelles, and we're pretty grateful.  From the impressive yachts to the rugged yet lush shoreline, he treats us all to the most picturesque sites from this top travel destination. He even lets us hear the lapping waves at 2:00; at 3:17 we get to hold our breath has he flies through the narrowest of gaps in the rocky landscape. For all of this and more, he's on our FPV Pilot to Watch list again in January 2020.
