      Private boat tour with some of the best snorkelling in the world! Reef sharks, turtles you name it! What a day.
      Wow what a day! We had a great time! Some of the best snorkelling in the world, we managed to see turtles, reef sharks and countless fish. The crew are amazing from the moment you step on board. We had a relaxed day packed with beautiful scenery and activities. After an amazing local lunch surrounded by Seychelles Giant Tortoises we then moved on to La Digue. What a beautiful island, you can explore at your leisure. Can’t recommend this trip enough!

      The very best of the Seychelles all wrapped up in one day
      Unforgettable experiences hosted by two friendly chaps, Gervais & Jolen, who both went out of their way to show us as many Seychelles treasures as possible. We booked the La Digue trip from Mahé and from the moment we stepped on board we had the most fabulous experiences. Fast and comfortable boat, we cycled around La Digue, had lunch with the giant tortoises, walked a nature trail up and over down to another beach where the guys then picked us up and took us to just off the coast of Praslin where we had the most unbelievable snorkeling experience ever with Gervais. Up close and personal with vibrant coloured fish which were very happy to swim right up to your mask. Thanks for an epic day!

      Wonderful boat excursion - well worth it
      We loved it all, such a beautiful place, the islands are magnificent- we snorkelled and saw a lot of colourful fish at Anse Lazio; lunch on Curiose was very tasty and we were able to see the Tortoises close by and feed them! La Digue is a beautiful island , Rock formations are exceptional and we had time to swim in the beautiful clear waters. The crew were really kind and helpful with everyone, including my mum who isn’t the most mobile and they ensured we all had a lovely day . I definitely recommend this trip, the boat was lovely and very comfortable too

      Perfect Intro to the Seychelles!!
      My husband and I chose the Seychelles for a stop for our honeymoon trip and this boat charter was the absolute perfect way to get exposure to different islands of the Seychelles on our first day in. We are staying at a beach resort for the majority of our time here so the boat charter was our effort to see multiple islands in one day and it was well worth it. The captain and first mate could not have been more accommodating. Not only were they incredibly professional and experienced with the boat we benefitted greatly from their local knowledge and insight. They were very helpful when we got to each island and made it incredibly stress free getting bicycles, finding the hiking trail head and snorkeling. It was nice to have the structure of activities on each island we visited because it gave us a feel/vibe for each stop without ever making us feel rushed. I would definitely recommend this boat charter if you’re looking for looking for a relaxing way to see 3 different islands and do 3 memorable activities!

      Thank you Arno and crew for such a magical and magnificent trip. Our every need was catered for. Clifford was so attentive and informative and our Captain, Julan, kept us safe as we cruised to the 3 islands! A must trip when travelling to mahe, Seychelles!

      A perfect day trip
      With 3 children between 6-11 we wanted a smooth way of getting from Mahe (Victoria) to see the best sights on La Digue, Curieuse and Praslin without having to adjust to a larger group of people and have the possibility to do some snorkeling. I contacted Arno by chance and wow what a day we got! The two crew members took us safe and happy from Eden Island (Mahe) to La Digue where transportation was arranged for us (included) Thanks a lot for recommending not to bikes with the kids :-) On the way to La Digue we also got lucky to see dolphins thanks to the observant crew. Great lunch was arranged for us at La Digue and the driver showed us many things on the island we might have missed doing it on our own. Cerieuse was as great as we expected for the kids and for the parents. We got to do snorkeling in a great spot and also got to see a see turtle. We visited Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette. The crew were great with the kids and we learnt a lot on the trip and we got to see several different Islands from the sea on our way back to Mahe. The boat was modern and comfortable the kids even fell a sleep on our way back to Mahe after this full day. This was the best experience on Seychelles for our family.

      Private island boat tour
      We spent a day with Arnu from Mahe, up to La Digue, around Praslin and back. Fantastic way to pack a ton into 1 day! Amazing service - exactly what we wanted including snorkeling in gorgeous bays, swimming and biking on La Digue, and speeding around islands! Arnu and his team are fantastic and provide great service! Highly recommended. Excellent and fast boat!

      Fishing & Island hopping
      We booked two days with Arno. The first day I went big game fishing! Amazing! The guys on the boat really know what to do! We caught 3 Wahoos and two tunas! It was so much fun! The day after we visited different islands - went for munch on La Digue, stopped for snorkeling and had an amazing time! Thank you JP for taking us back safe! The whole trip was just great!

      Perfect day!
      This boat excursion was incredible. Arno was there to greet us at 8am and introduce us to the crew. Everything was perfectly arranged and our crew, JP and Dean, were very knowledgeable pointing out the local sites. Conditions were a little rough in some areas for snorkeling but they knew some secret spots that were perfect. La Digue was very pretty. We hired bicycles at the harbor and cycled through the town and plantation to the famous beach. After around 2 hours, we went on to Curiuese, where we had a delicious local BBQ lunch and spent time with the giant tortoises. The afternoon, we spent visiting the beautiful beaches of Praslin and snorkeling. I was even able to swim with a turtle! This was an unforgettable day. A big thank you to Arno, JP and Dean!

    We went to the Marine Charter office in Mahe to book a trip to Moyenne Island as I particularly wanted to see the giant tortoises! The girl who helped us gave us the information and took our booking, there was no need to pay anything upfront. The price was 90 euros each which included lunch and unlimited bottles of water.
    We were fortunate to have lovely weather and a calm sea on the day of our trip.
    The two crew were very friendly and gave us some good information. We stopped in the St Anne Marine park for snorkeling and fish feeding, it was a glass bottomed boat so great for those not wanting to snorkel!
    Our next stop was Moyenne Island where we saw the giant tortoises roaming freely. We did the trek round the island and saw beautiful scenery.
    Our final stop was Cerf island where we had a delicious lunch of local food and bbq meat and fish, then time to relax on the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip.

    Took a tour with Dolphin Nemo for €90. Departed near Eden bridge at 10ish and returned at 5. There were 11 on our boat which could have seated another 2-3 people

    Did 2 snorkels, the first of which was a wonderful drift so just glided along looking at the fish and beautiful corals. Second snorkel not as good as waves churned up the sandy seabed. Had BBQ lunch on Longue island walked to nearby round island, through waist high beautifully pristine water then after lunch stopped at Moyenne island for a beer but you had the option to visit the tortoises for €15; we’d already seen them at the Botanical Gardens so opted for the beer instead.

    Highly recommended

    Amazing experience, thanks to Arno and his team - Rennat and Micheal, are captains. Took us to excellent snorkeling spots and a beautiful experience on Moyenne Island with a lot of history and seeing so many giant tortoises and the telling us about the island. The bbq was very nice that was organized, and option to buy or bring your own alcohol to accompany your lunch. Thanks for a lovely experience and it was also a very competitive price, from the likes of what a 5* hotel would arrange for you and worth it!

    Definitely worth it. We were a family of 9 including 2 kids. Contacted Arno 4 days before for the day trip, very responsive and told us everything in detail.

    On thé day, we had Michel and Kenneth as our skippers, awesome guys with lots of knowledge of the island. Fed fishes, snorkel, bbq lunch and saw the tortoise. All at our own pace, really relaxing.
    Definitely worth going with these guys instead of the mixed group tourist boats, especially w covid.

    The best experience ever. My flight back was at almost midnight, and I had to check out early. I didn’t know what to do. Fortunately I found this trip. I ended my trip to Seychelles with the an amazing experience. We did snorkeling, swimming, walking to see Turtles. We tried the local food. It was delicious especially the sharks.
    There were two guys with us. They are friendly, helpful, have a lot of information, patient.
    We forget our Snorkeling Glasses, but theu thankfully provided for us.

    I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    We met Sonny at the ferry port during a walk around Victoria. He gave us his card and let us know that glass bottom boat cruises left every day for a tour around Ste. Anne Marine Park. We were in Mahé during July 2018 and the cruise cost 80€. We had done some research and it was the cheapest cruise we found. The rest ranged from 90€-110€( the higher prices included a pick up from your resort). Sonny does offer a pick up service at your resort for 10€ per person so still the most affordable option. We took the bus to Victoria and then walked to the ferry (about 15 minutes maximum from the bus stop next to the Hindu temple). The bus is Rs7 per person one way no matter which trip/for how long etc.

    The boat-St Luciana left the port at 9:30. We had 2 crew members and there were 6 of us on board which was really nice not to have a crowded boat. The boat can take up to 16 guests or more I think. We had a short ride towards the marine park area where we fed the fish and then hopped in to snorkel for an hour. The crew has gear if you need it and life jackets. Snorkeling in the Seychelles means lots of tropical fish but the coral is all bleached from the increase in temperature of the water since 1998 apparently. After our snorkel we headed to Moyenne island. We could walk around the island at our leisure and see the giant tortoises. It was nice not to feel rushed. After this we took the boat to another area of the marine park and snorkeled for another 30 minutes. We then went to Round island (I think-it may have been Long) and again had time to wander around or lie on the beach. Lunch was served at 13:30. They have bench tables set up under cover and staff ready to serve lunch. It was a fish and chicken barbecue along with lots of salads and rice/bread/curry etc). The food was delicious and you could have seconds if you wanted. We also revived a cool drink and bottled water. We chose to lie on the beach until it was time to go. The boy left at 15:00 to head back to Mahé. As our group was on the smaller side the tour went a bit quicker- you can stay till 16:00 and then head back to Mahé but our group was happier to head back sooner. The crew are super accommodating and you could always ask to stay at a spot longer if you wanted. We would highly recommend Sonny and the St Luciana tour around the Ste. Anne marine park.

    Seeing the beautyfull islands is one thing, but the best way to enjoy the Seychelles is by boat! We booked the private boat with skipper Jean-Paul and the guy knows everything about the surroundings. We did some snorkling, had a great lunch and learned alot in the meanwhile about the culture of the Seychelles. If you want to make your stay on the Seychelles complete, don't hesitate to book the trip as you will have one of the best days during your stay!

    One of the best boat trips we have ever done.
    Booked after several e mails with the owner Arno who is a real gentleman and takes time to explain all the trip options.
    In the end we booked the trip around Saints Anne Marine National Park and we were delighted that we did. Stunning scenery, and we were treated so well by the Captain JP, who is really friendly and knowledgeable.
    We booked a private trip just for my wife and I and although more expensive it was worth every penny because you move at your own pace and it is just so peaceful and relaxing. We saw a couple of big group boat tours with people almost sitting on top of each other and it made us really appreciate how lucky we were to have a private trip.
    Several opportunities to snorkel at different sites and JP is really experienced at finding quiet spots to drop anchor away from the crowds.
    You can arrange your own transport via a taxi but Arno arranged transport from our hotel to the boat jetty with a friendly cabbie who was cheaper than a normal taxi.
    We were only in Seychelles a week but had we been staying longer I would definitely have booked a second trip , maybe to Pravin / La Digue which we were thought also looked really good.
    Thoroughly recommend this as a private trip , which is worth every penny.
