About Ste Anne Marine National Park

Ste Anne Marine National Park
 

Located in the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of Mahé, Seychelles, Ste Anne Marine National Park comprises six islands known for their rich marine biodiversity and pristine beaches. Established in 1973, it was the first marine park in the Indian Ocean, protecting unique ecosystems and coral reefs. The lush, tropical setting provides a haven for numerous species of fish, turtles, and seabirds. The park's history includes French colonial influences and the transformation of the islands into a protected area to combat ecological threats. Visitors can engage in recreational activities such as snorkeling, diving, and eco-tours, gaining insights into marine conservation efforts. Notable islands such as Île Moyenne offer a chance to explore indigenous vegetation and giant tortoise habitats, making the park an ideal destination for eco-tourists and adventure-seekers alike.
