Sainte Anne Marine Park Entrance Fee
The Sainte Anne Marine Park entrance fee is Rs 200 per non-resident aged 12+, per day (SPGA, November 2026). How to pay, and which boat days include it.
The Sainte Anne Marine Park entrance fee is Rs 200 (Seychelles rupees) per person per day for a non-resident aged 12 and over. That is the figure on the ticket page of the Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority (SPGA), which runs the St Anne Marine Park, checked on 13 November 2026. Seychelles citizens and residents need no ticket. Some boat days include it and some do not: Footprint Charter’s Mahe Island: St. Anne Marine Park Semiprivate Snorkeling Trip, from $177 per adult, two adults minimum (checked November 2026), lists it as not included, while Vision Voyages DMC's reef safari, from $160 per adult (checked November 2026), names it neither way, so ask when you book.
The calendar above is the boat day itself, not the park ticket, which only SPGA sells.
What SPGA charges
| Ticket | Price on SPGA’s ticket page |
|---|---|
| St. Anne marine park, adult non-resident (12 years and over), per person per day | Rs 200 |

| Entering an SPGA site without a valid ticket or a Seychelles ID (penalty) | Rs 600 |
Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority, ticket page and visitor information page, checked 13 November 2026.
Day tickets are issued per person, per day, for one park, and SPGA lists no child price: its marine park fees apply from age 12. The mooring permit concerns boats staying in the park overnight, not day visitors. Rangers patrol the park and can ask to see your ticket, so keep it with you for the day.
How to pay
SPGA sells tickets two ways. You can buy them in advance on its online portal at spga.gov.sc/tickets, which SPGA “strongly” encourages, or pay a ranger in the park with a card. On site it takes debit and credit cards only (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX and UnionPay), no cash; cash in rupees is accepted only at SPGA’s main office on Ile du Port.
Which boat days include it
SPGA’s visitor page says visitors who book through tour operators “normally have entry fees included in the package”. On the St Anne listings that holds for some boats and not for others, and each one says so in its own words.

GetYourGuide listings, checked November 2026. The euro figure is the operator’s; SPGA’s fee is in rupees.
Creole Travel Seychelles’ marine park and Moyenne day lists “Marine Park Fees” as included, and Semi Sub Seychelles’ semi-submarine “All Fees and Taxes” (checked November 2026).
The fee for landing on Moyenne Island is a separate matter: the island is privately owned, and SPGA’s ticket page has no line for it. Mae Guide lists “Moyenne Trail Fees at Site or payable online” as not included, and SEY AMA “Entry ticket to Moyenne Island”.

What reviewers paid on the day
On Mae Guide's glass-bottom day, reviewers describe the fee being collected before the boat leaves: 200 SCR a person asked on arrival (6 October 2026), a 200 SCR marine park fee on top of the price (27 August 2026), and 200 SR collected at the harbour without a receipt (26 July 2026). Since rangers can ask for the ticket, ask for one when you pay, or buy it yourself on SPGA’s portal before the day.
