Explore the Islands by Boat
One of the highlights of the experience is traveling by boat through the waters around Sainte Anne National Park.
The tour uses a 33-foot bottom-glass boat with a covered deck, providing a comfortable way to enjoy the journey while taking in the surrounding scenery.
As you travel between the islands, you’ll have opportunities to enjoy views of the coastline, tropical vegetation, granite rocks, beaches, and crystal-clear water.
The boat experience itself becomes an important part of the adventure, giving you a different perspective of the Seychelles landscape.
Snorkeling in the Clear Seychelles Waters
For visitors who enjoy the ocean, snorkeling is one of the main attractions of the tour.
Snorkeling equipment and life jackets are provided, allowing guests to enjoy the experience without needing to bring their own equipment.
The activity is also designed for people with different swimming abilities. Life jackets are available for safety, making the experience accessible to both swimmers and non-swimmers.
If you’re planning to snorkel, bringing reef shoes, sun cream, and a waterproof bag is recommended.
Visit Moyenne Island
Another memorable part of the journey is the opportunity to visit Moyenne Island.
The island offers a peaceful natural environment where visitors can enjoy tropical vegetation, beautiful coastal scenery, and an escape from the busier areas of Mahé.
Moyenne Island is particularly appealing to travelers who enjoy combining nature and exploration with a relaxing boat trip.
Please note: Moyenne Island fees are separate from the tour price and are listed at €15 per person.
Enjoy a Creole BBQ on the Beach
A Seychelles island adventure wouldn’t be complete without enjoying local food in a beautiful tropical setting.
The tour includes a Creole BBQ lunch on the beach, featuring:
- Rice
- Fresh salad
- Grilled fish
- Chicken BBQ
- Local fruits
Drinks are also included, with one bottle of water and one soft drink provided.
Vegetarian food can be arranged on request, while vegan food can also be organized for an additional payment. Guests with allergies should provide their requirements in advance.
Convenient Pickup from Your Hotel
The experience includes pickup, making it easier for visitors staying around the island to reach the tour.
Guests should contact the tour provider via WhatsApp one day before the tour to receive their approximate pickup time.
Pickup times can vary depending on the hotel’s location, traffic, and other guests being collected. Travelers are therefore advised to wait patiently in their hotel lobby for the driver.
The tour duration is approximately 6 hours from pickup to drop-off, so waiting for pickup does not reduce the actual tour experience.
Can You Drive Yourself to the Meeting Point?
Yes. Guests who prefer to use their own vehicle can choose the self-driving option.
Free parking is available on site, but you should inform the tour provider in advance via WhatsApp if you plan to arrive by car.

Although these items are recommended, they are not mandatory for participating in the tour.
Safety During the Boat Trip
