Our boat tours to Moyenne and the wider St Anne archipelago are designed to help you touch the heart of the marine park in comfort and ease.
Just a short glide from Mahé, the St Anne Marine National Park offers a pocket-sized paradise where giant tortoises roam, coral gardens sway in clear water, and history lingers on quiet footpaths.
Among these islands, Moyenne shines especially bright. Famous for its free-roaming wildlife, untouched beaches, and treasure-tinted tales, it’s one of the most beloved destinations for travellers who want a day away without venturing too far.
These tours are simple at heart: warm water, good company, and the quiet pleasure of being surrounded by nature.

A protected marine world
The St Anne Marine National Park is one of the oldest marine reserves in the Indian Ocean. Its waters are home to colourful reef fish, graceful rays, sea turtles, and intricate coral formations that turn every snorkel stop into a living kaleidoscope.
Because these islands sit right off Mahé, the boat journey is short and gentle. It’s an ideal destination for families, beginner snorkellers, and travellers who want a peaceful day surrounded by nature.
The magic of Moyenne Island
Moyenne is known for its giant Aldabra tortoises, the roaming elders of the island who amble through the forest paths like slow-moving guardians. Add hidden graves, winding trails, and beaches with glass-clear water, and you have a rare blend of nature, myth, and mystery.
Moyenne carries a unique legacy thanks to Brendon Grimshaw, who purchased the island in 1962 and spent his life restoring it. His efforts turned Moyenne into a thriving ecosystem with hundreds of trees and dozens of tortoises.
