Laid back

This was a perfect laid back day. Pickup was around 9am and I was back at my hotel around 5:30pm, so not a very long day. Each stop was well timed and nothing felt rushed. Lunch included very good options and it was a calm day at sea. It was cool to see the tortoises in their natural habitat and get history of the island.

When went despite the bad weather and rain, the trip was still amazing. The snorkelling part could be better with the sun, but I still saw a lot of fish and corals. Moyenne Island is interesting and we saw a lot of turtles walking around in paths and the forest. The lunch was delicious and as a buffet option in the Jolly Roger bar, so you could take more if you were very hungry. Soft drinks were not free, but there were tea and coffee tanks. After lunch, you have roughly 45-60 minutes for freeze time on the Island (depending on how fast are you eating), and that time is enough to get a circle trail around the island without people (take more time if you are a slow hiker, as there are some steps there and ascending). After Island, we had another session of snorkelling for anyone who wanted it and this part near Moyenne was even more beautiful underwater. Note: the flippers and masks are provided, but if you have your own - take it. The snorkels did not have blockers, so harder to dive in. Also worth taking a snack with you as the lunch was about 13:30, which is around 4-5 hours after pick-up time.
A heavenly day out.

Idyllic. What a place to go sail around aboard a stunning vessel. The staff are friendly and fun. The snorkeling was awesome, very well organised. The clarity of the water was great too. Moyenne Island was delightful. The history of the island(s) was interesting. The giant tortoises were a special treat to see in natural habitat. The flora was ace with informative plaques to explain. The food was delicious. A good variety of drinks.
Best trip!

We recommend this trip. We were snorkling and the visit to Moyenne Island was interesting with all the turtles who lives there. Nice lunch and enough food!
