Once home to the French settlers, the Ste. Anne Marine Park Islands has now become the relics of the Seychelles. They form an important part of the cultural heritage of the Seychellois people. Creole Travel Services offers you the chance to discover the treasures of the Marine Park and learn of the rich history our ancestors left behind.
Conservation has allowed the islands and its surrounding seas to harbour many indigenous species of the Seychelles. Disembark at Moyenne Island where you can join a brief tour amongst the giant land tortoises followed by lunch at the island’s Jolly Roger restaurant. After the visit and lunch, we will re-embark on the catamaran to spend the rest of the day cruising along the islands of the marine park, stopping occasionally at the coral reefs for more snorkeling & swimming, before making our way back to Mahe via a leisurely, scenic route.
