St. Anne Marine Park & Moyenne Island: Private Catamaran with Creole BBQ Lunch

The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The Seychelles requires reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral—apply before boarding and reapply after swimming.
Pack a light dry bag
A small waterproof bag keeps phone, documents and a spare set of clothes dry during swims and transfers.
Take seasickness medicine early
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication at least 30–60 minutes before departure—open water and swell can increase as you head to the outer islands.
Respect nesting and tortoise areas
Moyenne’s tortoises and fragile vegetation are protected—stay on marked paths and follow your guide’s instructions.
