Benjamin – Germany

Snorkeling sites were excellent, and we very much enjoyed the tortoise island tour. Benjamin did a great job as our guide for the day!

Dana – United States

This tour was definitely a highlight of our trip! The snorkeling around St. Pierre island is gorgeous - such beautiful fish and rocks. It was very hot so we ended up skipping the nature walk and instead they brought us to a secret beach to swim - where the water was an unreal color blue, crystal clear - so magical! They said only 1% of people who come to the Seychelles get to experience that beach because usually the tides don't allow it, and it was so special! The giant tortoises were fun, especially Cobra! It was so nice that this tour included pick up and drop off, even though we stayed very far away at Terrasse Sur Lazio. The owner was very nice and even charged our GoPro on the boat. Can't recommend this tour more highly!

Full description

Start your day off with bus pickup from your hotel and a convenient transfer to the boat launch point. After a meet and greet by the crew, set off on your adventure.

First, stop for a 45-minute to 1-hour snorkeling break at one of the chosen locations (dependent on weather and sea conditions). Discover marine life and the colorful underwater world. Climb back on the boat and head over to a beach on Curieuse Island with some time to relax on the beach.

Continue the experience with a 1hr guided tour on the island via a nature trail where our guys will explain all that your eyes will be experiencing. Journey over to the other side of the island, where you can sit down to enjoy a Creole BBQ and a local beer. Gaze in awe as giant tortoises roam around you. The crew will also assist you with purchasing the marine park entry ticket.

Depart Curieuse Island and head over to St. Pierre or other reefs depending on the weather, where you can take photographs. Finish the tour at Anse La Farine for a final snorkeling stop, or if the sea condition doesnt permit, we go to Anse Georgette & Lazio Beach. End your day with a trademark Takamaka rum cocktail as you slowly cruise back to Praslin Island. Return to the dock and enjoy a convenient return transfer back to your hotel.
