Three questions that decide it

1

How much time do you have?

Half a day: the Marine Park snorkelling trip. A full day: St Anne or Thérèse Island. A long day with an early start: Praslin and La Digue.

2

Does anyone prefer to stay dry?

Choose a trip on the glass-bottom boat. The St Anne day and the half day both show the reef from on board, and on the St Anne day snorkel gear and life jackets are included for those who do go in.

3

Do you want the boat to yourselves?

Ask for a private charter. We plan the route with you and name the boat in your written quote.
