Great day trip! - Great way to spend a day, the tour is well hosted and operated.
Snorkeling fun, visit to Moyenne Island, memorable visit with the giant tortoises and learning the history of Bernard Grimshaw's work to establish the park sanctuary.
Despite the group being almost the full capacity of 50 people the boat did not feel over crowded and the staff interacted with everyone personally, friendly and efficient.

A Five-Star Island Cruise Trip made extra special by Magical Mother Nature and a Great Crew - What an absolutely amazing experience...!!! I'm so glad that I booked this activity to be my first experience of the beauty and culture that Seychelles has to offer. Right from the get go, everything was organised very efficiently. We were picked up from our hotel at 8:45 am sharp on the morning of the trip and we were taken to the location from where the catamaran ride would start. The catamaran itself was excellent - a spacious and comfortable boat that was clean and well-maintained. The staff were highly professional, organised, efficient, and very polite and friendly. All boarding and safety procedures were explained in detail by our chief guide Collin and his fellow guides and the excellent boat crew. Once the ride started, it was great fun and the views and the colours of the waters were just breathtaking. We had our first snorkelling stop just off Sainte Anne Island and then after that, we were taken around the island on the boat. All this while, Collin and his crew - namely, Jacqueline, Garina (the other guides) and Bethane, Marcus, Daniel, Dariom, Corry, Thomas and Wayne kept looking after us very well and catered to all our queries and needs. The boat was expertly navigated and driven by our cool Captain Sam. We then stopped at Moyenne Island where we were treated to a sumptuous and filling Creole lunch which was served with love by the locals on the island. Collin did a fantastic job in explaining the history of Moyenne Island and its flora and fauna...and not to forget the main attraction of the island...the Giant Aldabra Tortoises which have been the island's longest residents. We were also taken on a very small trek which took us to an absolutely stunning viewpoint from where we could see the clear blue waters of the sea and the neighbouring islands. We were then given some time to relax and do our own thing on the island, after which we were picked up again by the catamaran and we headed back to Mahe. There was a second snorkelling stop along the way as well where we were able to see coral reefs and many beautiful fishes. And then, we headed back to Mahe and we were treated to a complimentary drink and a sweet snack by the crew which was a wonderful gesture on their part. Overall, this was one of the best experiences I've ever had on a sea cruise / boat cruise type trip. The locations were beautiful and the people that gave us company on this trip were excellent companions too. I would like to give a special thanks to Collin, Captain Sam and the entire crew and staff (who are named above) for taking such good care of us and making this a very special and memorable trip...Cheers...!!!

A day we will remember; Honeymoon - We had an incredibly fun and beautiful day—an experience we’ll remember forever! We felt completely safe while snorkelling, thanks to the amazing crew who were always friendly, supportive, and attentive. We truly appreciated the help whenever we needed it. Also we had very delicious lunch! Everything was perfect.

Great Day - We had a wonderful day from start to finish all the guides were super gracious and always checking to see if we are having a good time - shout out to Galina who guided us through the park - she was always smiling even after another guest berated her for getting wet on the dingy ride to the island - Galina handled herself with grace- i'm not sure if i'd do the same- again we had a great day and felt well taken care of

Unforgettable Vacation with Creol Travel! - I'd like to share my exceptionally positive opinion of Creol Travel, the company that organized my tours during my week-long stay in Seychelles!
From the very beginning, I was impressed by Creol Travel's excellent organization. Everything was meticulously planned, which allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation without any worries. I particularly appreciate the punctual hotel pickups, which greatly simplified daily logistics.
What sets Creol Travel apart is the comprehensiveness of their offerings. On every tour, meals and drinks were always provided, which was incredibly convenient and comfortable, especially during full-day excursions.
The optional tours offered were exceptionally well-organized. I had the opportunity to visit the beautiful islands of Praslin and La Digue, where I admired paradise beaches and unique nature. Equally fascinating were the trekking trails, such as the hike to Morne Blanc, which provided unforgettable views. Each trip was well-thought-out and full of attractions.
A huge asset of the company is their incredibly friendly and experienced guides. Their knowledge of Seychelles, local culture, and nature was impressive. They could convey information in an accessible and engaging way, and their passion for the region was contagious. They were always ready to help and ensured a great atmosphere within the group.
I wholeheartedly recommend Creol Travel to anyone planning a vacation in Seychelles! If you're looking for a professional, reliable, and passionate tour organizer who will take care of every detail of your trip, Creol Travel is absolutely the best choice. Thanks to them, my Seychelles vacation was truly unforgettable!

Seychelles day to do absolutely!!! - Out of a day just great!
Beautiful walk between land and sea, fantastic landscapes, unspoilt nature and a guide, Collin who is in love with his job! Friendly and concerned for the well-being of its guests.
The driver of the mini bus, Roxy was careful and efficient in the traffic jams of this small island that does not include many roads... As for the crew of the catamaran just in tune with our guide of the day! Happiness, attention and a superb team! Congratulations to all for these heavenly moments!
The one downside, a manager who would have been better off staying in her office.

Nice day on the water with large catamaran (50 people approx) - Well-kept trip everything matches description! Creole Travel Services is highly recommended. Unfortunately we had some cloudy weather with quite a bit of wind. Can't help it, of course. Snorkeling spots were therefore a bit rough in terms of sea.

Great experience overall - The organisation was fantastic as it led to a really smooth experience, views from the boat were amazing and seeing the land tortoises on Moyenne Island was beautiful. The only down side for me personally was
A. Being over charged for coconuts when we got to the Island. 16 Euros for 2 coconuts!!! - coconuts which were growing in the trees above us and only had to be cut open!
I think if it states that lunch is included it should also include drinks. The only drink options for sale were your typical fizzy drinks such as coke or beers etc.
B. Slightly Underwhelming snorkelling, although this may be because I have travelled to many destinations and seen marine life such as whale sharks and manta rays in the wild before. Although, we did hear and see dolphins in the distance which was amazing.
Overall if you’re looking for a snorkelling/island excursion from Mahé, this is the one!! - the staff were great, knowledgeable & helpful at all times.
