When went despite the bad... - When went despite the bad weather and rain, the trip was still amazing. The snorkelling part could be better with the sun, but I still saw a lot of fish and corals.
Moyenne Island is interesting and we saw a lot of turtles walking around in paths and the forest.
The lunch was delicious and as a buffet option in the Jolly Roger bar, so you could take more if you were very hungry. Soft drinks were not free, but there were tea and coffee tanks.
After lunch, you have roughly 45-60 minutes for freeze time on the Island (depending on how fast are you eating), and that time is enough to get a circle trail around the island without people (take more time if you are a slow hiker, as there are some steps there and ascending).
After Island, we had another session of snorkelling for anyone who wanted it and this part near Moyenne was even more beautiful underwater.
Note: the flippers and masks are provided, but if you have your own - take it. The snorkels did not have blockers, so harder to dive in. Also worth taking a snack with you as the lunch was about 13:30, which is around 4-5 hours after pick-up time.

A great day out! - My husband and I attended this tour yesterday with our friends. Booked through our Creole representative at our resort. Pick up from the hotel was punctual and comfortable. The whole tour was well organised. The boat was spotless and well maintained. Crew and guides were efficient and friendly. Snorkelling was excellent, at times I felt like I was swimming in an aquarium! Ferried by small dinghies to and from the island, which was well organised but took a while. Tour with Jeanette on the island was informative and entertaining. The other guide Colin was great also. The lunch on the island was great and the whole journey included lots of sailing time. A great tour!

A heavenly day out. - Idyllic. What a place to go sail around aboard a stunning vessel. The staff are friendly and fun. The snorkeling was awesome, very well organised. The clarity of the water was great too.
Moyenne Island was delightful. The history of the island(s) was interesting. The giant tortoises were a special treat to see in natural habitat. The flora was ace with informative plaques to explain. The food was delicious. A good variety of drinks.

Great all day boat tour! - The full-day catamaran tour with Creole Travel Services to the Saint Anne Marine Park and Moyenne Island, and it was a fantastic experience. The tour offered stunning views of the Seychelles’ crystal-clear waters and lush landscapes. The crew was friendly, welcoming, and made sure everyone was well taken care of throughout the day.
The excursion allows plenty of time for snorkelling, with plenty of time to explore the vibrant marine life in the protected waters, the gear is also available on the boat for clients. Moyenne Island was equally impressive, with its walking trails and giant tortoises, adding a unique touch to the trip.
Overall, the combination of beautiful scenery, relaxed atmosphere, and great hospitality made this tour well worth it. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the beauty of Seychelles!
