Which Sainte Anne Marine Park Tour to Book
St Anne Marine Park tours from Mahe by who they suit: reef safari, a cruise with fees included, glass-bottom boats, semi-submarine, clear boat, private boats.
For a first visit, the Sainte Anne Marine Park tour that covers the most in one day is a full day on a catamaran, and the one that does it is Vision Voyages DMC’s Mahe: St. Anne Marine National Park Reef Safari with Lunch, from $160 per adult (checked November 2026): a semi-submersible over the reef, snorkelling, a buffet lunch and a walk among the giant tortoises of Moyenne Island, with pickup on Mahe. It has 328 reviews, and its calendar on 13 November 2026 ended on 30 December 2026. The calendar on this page is Footprint Charter’s Mahe Island: St. Anne Marine Park Semiprivate Snorkeling Trip, from $177 per adult, two adults minimum, with dates open into 2027. The other boats below suit someone who does not swim, wants the fees in the price, wants to snorkel more, or wants a boat of their own.
The calendar above is Footprint Charter’s snorkelling trip: 9:00 AM or 1:00 PM from Eden Island, two adults minimum, with every day open from 13 November 2026 to the end of May 2027 except Monday 30 November 2026. The reef safari’s calendar showed departures on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays up to 30 December 2026.

From prices in US dollars (checked November 2026). The park ticket is included on the cruise, the semi-submarine, the clear boat and the private half day, and extra on the glass-bottom days and the snorkelling trip; the reef safari does not name it.
The full day on a catamaran
Vision Voyages DMC's reef safari packs the most in: the semi-submersible, a snorkel stop, lunch with live music and Moyenne’s tortoises. Of its 328 reviews, 257 give five stars and 29 three or fewer, and the low ones repeat the same points: a catamaran with dozens of people on board (a reviewer in May 2025 counted at least 60), a weak snorkel spot (November 2025, February 2026), and a long stay on Moyenne (July 2024). If you want a day spent mostly in the water, it is not the right boat.
Creole Travel Services' cruise is the other catamaran day and the one whose inclusions list the landing fees for the park and Moyenne. In its 350 newest reviews (March 2025 to November 2026), 27 give three stars or fewer; two reviewers found its snorkel stops poor, with dead coral and few fish within sight of the harbour and hotels (10 October 2026) or very few fish (9 May 2026). On the dates checked it ran on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, at 10:00 AM.
A glass-bottom day for less
Mae Guide's glass-bottom boat day from Eden Island Marina is the lowest full-day price, and it lands on Cerf Island for a Creole BBQ. The low price leaves things out: “Government Taxes or Environmental Taxes or Marine Fees” and the Moyenne trail fee are extra, the free shuttle covers only the north of Mahe, and guests in the south, west and east pay EUR 40 on the day. Of its 350 newest reviews (April to November 2026), 55 give three stars or fewer, mostly about late or unconfirmed pickups (7 and 8 November 2026) and money asked on the day.
SEY AMA's glass-bottom boat leaves the Eden Island marina jetty at 10:00 AM and is back at 4:00 PM, with two snorkel stops, a crystal kayak at the sandbank between Round and Long islands, and the tortoises on Cerf Island. Landing on Moyenne depends on the weather, and the Moyenne ticket is not included.
Without getting wet
Semi-Sub Seychelles' semi-submarine leaves Eden Island for an hour in the park, with an air-conditioned underwater cabin; the park access fee is included, and there is no pickup and no food. It suits children and anyone who does not swim. Of its 220 reviews, 154 give five stars; the 29 at three or fewer mostly say the time below water was short (15 to 20 minutes in an August 2025 review) or call it a filler activity (June 2026). Semi Sub Seychelles sells the same trip on Viator as a semi-submarine tour, from $62 per person (checked November 2026).
Clear Boat Seychelles' boat has a fully transparent hull: two hours from Eden Island Marina at 10:00 AM or 1:00 PM, with a swim stop and the park entry fee included. It runs Monday to Saturday and took two adults or more on the dates checked. If the sea is unsuitable, the route can change or the boat return to the marina.
Snorkelling first
Footprint Charter’s semiprivate trip takes up to 10 people to three snorkel stops in the park and Long Island’s beach, in four hours. It has no lunch, and the park fee is extra: “Marine park fees (SCR 200 per adult)”. On 1 December 2026 two adults paid $353.76 and one adult alone was refused.

A boat of your own

Island Style Boat Charters sells a private boat tour from Eden Island Marina with lunch on Moyenne and the national park fees included, from $536 per person with two adults minimum (checked November 2026).
