Activity description
Admire the Seychelles' protected seabed on a catamaran tour with snorkelling in Sainte-Anne National Marine Park from Mahé!
Covering a sea and land area of 14.43 km², the Sainte-Anne Marine National Park is a nature reserve home to a wealth of flora and fauna, which this catamaran tour from Mahé will enable you to discover. For 7 hours, not only will you have the pleasure of admiring the splendid scenery, with its white sandy beaches and turquoise lagoon, but you will also be able to take to the water to observe the incredible underwater fauna and flora. If you are lucky, you might even spot a sea turtle!
After being picked up from one of the pick-up points dotted around Mahé, you will embark on your catamaran tour to Sainte-Anne Marine National Park and Moyenne Island: a very comfortable boat awaits you, with a rest area sheltered from the sun with a bar for buying drinks, a sunbathing area at the bow, toilets and showers. You will sail out to discover the islands of the park from the sea, with your guide's explanations to help you learn more about this exceptional natural site in the Seychelles. You will take a snorkelling and swimming break during the morning to take advantage of the reserve's magnificent waters, and also after your Creole lunch on Moyenne Island, which you will tour on foot.
Combining the discovery of the unspoilt nature of the Seychelles with relaxation in a heavenly setting, this catamaran trip from Mahé to Sainte-Anne Marine National Park and Moyenne Island will make for an unforgettable day out!
