I will be traveling to The Seychelles and besides for registering your drone, they also require insurance. I am a recreational flyer and this wojld just be one and done. Any recommendations? Thanks!
 
Beware: in Quebec (probably all of Canada I would surmise), most personal liability insurance policies included in one's Home Insurance have a specific EXCLUSION for drones. Therefore, a separate and distinct insurance policy should (and must, especially in several EU jurisdictions) be secured to fly legally (at least 1M Eur).

I got mine through The Magnes Group and Coverdrone.
Geographical coverage is as follows:

Worldwide
Excluding: North Korea, Iran, Russia, Crimea, Ukraine and Belarus Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria,
Yemen, Nagorno-Karabakh, North Caucasian Federal District, Somalia, The Republic of Sudan,
South Sudan Burundi, Cabinda, Central African Republic, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo,
Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mauritania, Gorgia, Pakistan Any country where the
operation of the insured Aircraft is in breach of the United Nations resolutions or the trade or
economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the European Union, United Kingdom or United
States of America.

To purchase the policy, being in Canada,I also had to become a member of COPA.

Cost (all in CAD$):
$137 for the insurance policy itself (underwritten by Lloyd's of London).
$97 for 1yr membership with COPA
$30 for The Magnes Group insurance broker fees
Total: $264
