Our StoryCrafting Exceptional Island Experiences
Discover the passion behind Crystal Reef Bookings and our commitment to delivering unforgettable moments in Seychelles.
A Family Business Built By Passion For Seychelles
Crystal Reef Bookings was founded by Raphael Payet and Michel Payet, combining local tourism expertise with technology to create a better way for visitors to experience Seychelles.
Based in Praslin, Seychelles, Raphael is the local face of the business, coordinating excursions, transportation, and helping visitors enjoy authentic island experiences.
Michel built the technology, website, and systems that power Crystal Reef Bookings, helping transform a local tourism vision into a trusted platform for travelers.
The Ocean Has Always Been Home
For Raphael, the sea has always been a second home. Growing up in Seychelles, he spent his childhood around boats, the ocean, and island excursions with family members long before tourism became his career.
With over 10 years of experience in tourism , Raphael developed a reputation for providing exceptional excursions and unforgettable experiences to visitors.
After an unexpected injury made it impossible to continue operating excursions personally in the same way, Crystal Reef Bookings evolved into something even greater.
What started as helping returning clients and booking requests gradually expanded into a trusted network of excursions, transport operators, boat operators, and local experiences across Seychelles.
Today, our mission remains the same: making sure visitors never miss out on the very best of Seychelles.
