What To Expect

Spend the day discovering one of Seychelles main attractions. If you’re in the Seychelles, why not spend a day amid the postcard-perfect scenery of Ste Anne Marine National Park off the north coast of Mahé? Whether you choose to snorkel through the rich marine life or just float in the crystal-clear waters of a sand bank, you’ll feel your senses ignite at being so immersed in nature. We depart from Eden island, in front of the Maharaja restaurant at 9a.m. You may park at the Eden Plaza basement parking.. After a 20-minute boat ride in a mostly protected bay, you’ll have the opportunity to go snorkeling and hopefully see rays, turtles and even baby sharks, among the large variety of other marine life. At 11 a.m. we make our way to Moyenne Island National Park, a conservation sanctuary with more species per square foot than anywhere else in the world. Now inhabited by over a hundred giant tortoises, a few caretakers and a dog called Yellow, among richly varied plant and bird life, Moyenne was once the home of Englishman Brendon Grimshaw, a former newspaper editor who bought the previously uninhabited island in 1962 and lived there alone until his death in 2012. Stroll along the island’s 3 miles of nature paths finding out about him, including how he’s buried there alongside two pirates. Don’t be surprised if Yellow follows along! We break to enjoy a sumptuous local Creole buffet lunch at the Jolly Roger Bar and Restaurant at 1.30 p.m., before heading to one of the beaches around Ste Anne Marine National Park (to be determined by tide and weather) at about 3 p.m, or go feed the fish. After some time relaxing, we make the return trip to the marine charter marina, Victoria, at 4.30 p.m., rounding off a truly memorable experience.

Although your'r in a city a trip to Margot island is a lovely way to get away from all the hustle and bustle. Easy to get to either walking a cross the bridge or by bus or tram. You can spend the day seeing the musical fountain ,Japanese gardens, or climbing the water tower. There is also a very small zoo. Or relaxing in the indoor or outdoor spas, wave pool. shallow pools. For the more adventures the water slides and swimming pool.
Dream excursion came true.

One of the most enjoyable beautiful excursions we have taken. Everything was perfect about the boat, captain and crew. They found the best places to enjoy the snorkeling and great timing on arriving at the pristine white beaches before the crowds. Highly recommend.
Amazing experience overall! Highly recommend!

A great day out on the water with Ted (Skipper) and Johan (helper) looking after all our needs. The boat was powerful so we got to spend more time touring La Moyenne and snorkelling (we even saw turtles !) in the the St Ann Marine Park, and exploring the sand bank. All organised by Arno. Great job.
Amazing boat trip with the family

The best experience ever. My flight back was at almost midnight, and I had to check out early. I didn’t know what to do. Fortunately I found this trip. I ended my trip to Seychelles with the an amazing experience. We did snorkeling, swimming, walking to see Turtles. We tried the local food. It was delicious especially the sharks. There were two guys with us. They are friendly, helpful, have a lot of information, patient. We forget our Snorkeling Glasses, but theu thankfully provided for us. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Giant tortoises, walking on a sandbank in between islands, snorkelling and a lovely lunch. Trevor and Jolen were great at getting us to the various points of interest before the crowds appeared making our experience even more special.

We went to the Marine Charter office in Mahe to book a trip to Moyenne Island as I particularly wanted to see the giant tortoises! The girl who helped us gave us the information and took our booking, there was no need to pay anything upfront. The price was 90 euros each which included lunch and unlimited bottles of water. We were fortunate to have lovely weather and a calm sea on the day of our trip. The two crew were very friendly and gave us some good information. We stopped in the St Anne Marine park for snorkeling and fish feeding, it was a glass bottomed boat so great for those not wanting to snorkel! Our next stop was Moyenne Island where we saw the giant tortoises roaming freely. We did the trek round the island and saw beautiful scenery. Our final stop was Cerf island where we had a delicious lunch of local food and bbq meat and fish, then time to relax on the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip.
Beautiful Mahe
