The catamaran eases out of the harbour and the sea opens into a rim of reefs, the water changing from polished teal to the deep blue that dares you to dive in. Salt air lifts the guitar notes drifting from the deck while snorkel masks are fitted and the crew prepares the semi-submersible for close-up reef views.

History
Sainte Anne Marine National Park was established to protect nearshore reefs and fisheries around Mahé and its satellite islands, reflecting early conservation efforts in the Seychelles.
Conservation
Visitors are asked to use reef-safe sunscreens, avoid touching coral or feeding wildlife, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact on fragile reef habitats.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect coral and reapply frequently—shade is limited on deck and beaches.
Eye protection for the boat
Bring polarized sunglasses and a hat for glare while transiting between sites; the catamaran offers limited shaded seating.
Pack a light snorkel kit
If you have your own comfortable mask and snorkel, bring them—rental gear is provided but personal fit improves visibility.
Prepare for sea conditions
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding; sheltered reef stops can still be breezy and wavy.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and the coral ecosystem during long sun exposure on deck and in shallow water.
