4.Mahe Island: St. Anne Marine Park Snorkeling Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 62 reviews · 4 hours · from $177

Join Gigi or another English- or French-speaking guide for four hours around St. Anne Marine Park. Snorkel three sites, look for turtles, rays, tropical fish, and baby sharks, then relax on Long Island’s white sand. Equipment, snacks, water, and the marine park fee are included.

“We recommend this activity to anyone who likes snorkeling! Gigi was an amazing guide, the snorkeling spots were picked perfectly, and there was only 6 of us so the tour felt pretty private. St Anne Marine park is gorgeous and you will see a lot of interesting marine life. Great value for money, and much better than the touristy tours of 30+ people at once”

“Réservation facile et très bon contact avec la personne de l'agence via WhatsApp Notre capitaine Collin et son adjoint Yohan ont été vraiment top! Animation et explications impeccables! Cependant, le lancement de la journée a été décevant. Le rendez vous était fixé à 9h45 pour un départ à 10h. Notre premier contact sur place s'est fait à 10h20 suite à une sollicitation de l'agence de notre part et la personne qui nous a "accueilli" a été impolie, froide et désagréable. Nous sommes partis avec 1h de retard sans explication ni excuses et une très mauvaise première impression ! Heureusement que le personnel à bord et la qualité des fonds marins…”
