You step off an air-conditioned transfer onto the marine charter at Victoria and the ocean immediately takes over: a glass-bottom boat rocks gently as sunlight slices the water into bands of turquoise and cobalt.

You step off an air-conditioned transfer onto the marine charter at Victoria and the ocean immediately takes over: a glass-bottom boat rocks gently as sunlight slices the water into bands of turquoise and cobalt.
In twenty minutes the hull cuts into the St. Anne Marine National Park, where the sea dares you to look deeper. Guides scatter fish food; curious parrotfish and tangs rise like small machines to inspect the offering. Salt and wind speak in quick, habitual sentences as you slip into a snorkel and meet the reef—corals layered and sculpted by currents, fish darting in and out of crevices.
Moyenne Island finishes the story ashore. Its white sand, a micro-museum, and famously patient giant tortoises—left in the care of a long-time private steward—give the place a lived-in quality. The islands here are granitic, the oldest mid-ocean exposed rock in the Indian Ocean, and the park itself was set aside to protect nearshore reefs and seagrass beds.
Practically: the trip runs about six hours, with a 20-minute sail each way, guided snorkeling and a 45-minute island walk option. Snorkeling equipment and lunch are included; bring reef-safe sunscreen, a reef-safe attitude (don’t touch coral), and a dry bag for phones. Mornings are calmer for visibility; afternoons can see wind-driven chop. Expect easy movement—this is an accessible marine day trip—but plan for sun, salt, and brief hikes on sandy, uneven trails.

Moyenne Island gained international attention when a long-term private owner developed trails and a small museum; St. Anne was one of Seychelles’ earliest marine protected areas, created to safeguard nearshore reefs and islands.
The marine park is actively managed to limit anchoring damage and fishing in key zones; visitors are encouraged to avoid touching coral, use reef-safe products and take all waste off the islands.
