The Ultimate Sainte-Anne National Park Boat Tour Guide
Experience the Magic of Seychelles from the Water
Seychelles is famous for its white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, lush islands, and spectacular marine scenery. While relaxing on Mahé is a wonderful way to enjoy your holiday, exploring the surrounding islands by boat gives you an entirely different experience.
A Sainte Anne National Park boat tour is a great way to combine island sightseeing, snorkeling, nature, and local food into one memorable experience.
From the moment you leave the pickup point, the journey becomes part of the adventure.
You’ll travel across clear tropical waters on a Sainte Anne National Park boat tour.
Then you’ll explore the area around Moyenne Island and enjoy a Creole BBQ lunch beside the beach.
Start Your Adventure with a Scenic Boat Ride
The Sainte Anne National Park boat tour takes place aboard a 33-foot bottom-glass boat with a covered deck.
The covered deck provides a comfortable place to enjoy the journey while the bottom-glass design allows guests to appreciate the marine environment beneath the boat.
As you travel around the islands, you’ll see a mixture of tropical vegetation, granite formations, beaches, and beautiful ocean views.
For visitors who want to experience more of Seychelles than the main beaches of Mahé, a boat tour provides an excellent opportunity to see the islands from another perspective.
Discover the Marine Beauty of Sainte Anne
One of the biggest attractions of the area is its beautiful marine environment.
The clear waters around Sainte Anne National Park create excellent conditions for enjoying a snorkeling experience. Guests can use the provided snorkeling equipment and life jackets while discovering the waters around the islands.
You don’t need to be an experienced swimmer to participate. The activity is designed for both swimmers and non-swimmers, with life jackets available on board.
For a comfortable snorkeling experience, bring:
- Reef shoes
- Sun cream
- Beach accessories
- A waterproof bag
- Comfortable sandals or shoes
Make Time for Moyenne Island
A visit to Moyenne Island adds a nature and exploration element to the trip.
Instead of spending the entire day on the boat, guests have the opportunity to experience the island environment and enjoy its tropical surroundings.
Walking around the island allows you to slow down, appreciate nature, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of one of the smaller islands around Mahé.
There is an additional €15 per-person Moyenne Island fee, so travelers should keep this in mind when planning their budget.
Enjoy a Traditional Creole BBQ
After exploring the islands and enjoying time in the water, there’s nothing better than sitting down to a meal beside the sea.
The tour includes a Creole BBQ lunch on the beach, with:
- Rice
- Fresh salad
- Grilled fish
- Chicken BBQ
- Local fruits
The relaxed beach setting makes lunch more than just a meal. It’s an opportunity to enjoy local flavors while surrounded by the tropical scenery of Seychelles.
One bottle of water and one soft drink are also included.
A Tour Suitable for Families and Different Ages
Planning an island excursion can sometimes be difficult when traveling with people of different ages and abilities.
This experience is designed for families with children, people of different ages, swimmers, and non-swimmers.
Life jackets are provided on board, while the tour team prioritizes safety throughout the experience.
Families can therefore enjoy the island adventure together while taking part in activities according to their own comfort level.
Pickup Information You Should Know
Hotel pickup is included with the tour.
However, travelers should contact the tour provider through WhatsApp one day before the tour to receive their approximate pickup time.
The exact time can depend on your hotel’s location, traffic conditions, and the pickup of other guests around the island.
It’s recommended to wait in the hotel lobby until your driver arrives.
The complete experience runs for approximately 6 hours from pickup to drop-off, meaning the time spent waiting for pickup does not reduce the planned tour duration.
Prefer to Drive Yourself?
Self-driving is also possible.
If you have your own rental car and don’t need hotel pickup, free parking is available on site.
Guests choosing this option should contact the tour provider in advance via WhatsApp to coordinate the meeting time and location.
The meeting point is:
Eden Island, next to Boardwalk Bar & Grill Restaurant.
What Happens If the Weather Changes?
Weather is an important consideration when planning a Seychelles boat trip.
The experience requires suitable weather conditions. If poor or unsafe weather makes the trip impossible, guests can be offered another date or a full refund according to the tour arrangements.
The decision not to go to sea in dangerous conditions is made with guest safety as the priority.
Food Requirements and Allergies
If you have dietary requirements, it’s important to inform the tour provider before the trip.
Vegetarian meals can be arranged on request.
Vegan meals can also be arranged, although an additional payment is required.
If you have a food allergy, provide the information via email beforehand so the necessary arrangements can be considered.
What Is Included?
The tour package includes several useful services and activities:
- Hotel pickup
- Creole BBQ lunch
- One bottle of water
- One soft drink
- Snorkeling equipment
- Life jackets
Some costs are separate, including the Moyenne Island fee of €15 per person and the applicable Marine Park fee.
Keep Your Belongings Protected
Because this is a boat and beach experience, it’s important to protect your personal belongings.
Use a waterproof bag for items that could be damaged by water, and avoid bringing unnecessary valuables.
Guests should be aware that the tour provider is not responsible for belongings that become wet, lost, or damaged during the tour.
