Ferries dominate inter-island travel, Cat C or Cat Rose vessels connect Mahé and Praslin multiple times daily, and small launches run Praslin to La Digue, so align connections carefully. Domestic flights offer a backup in rough weather and only need 15 minutes, just confirm luggage limits before boarding.

I usually take the Cat C ferry from Mahé to Praslin, it leaves twice a day and takes about an hour, reservations get snapped up if you travel during the season so book online a few weeks ahead. Once on Praslin I hop on the short boat from the jetty to La Digue, the crossing is maybe 15 minutes and the schedule lines up with the main ferries. If weather is rough I switch to Air Seychelles, the Mahé to Praslin flight only takes 15 minutes and you can check bulky bags easily, but it costs more. Carry sunscreen and snacks since the ferry terminals are tiny but the views are worth the ride.
