Can you visit Sainte Anne Marine National Park Seychelles independently without a tour?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 18 days ago
TL;DR
Independent access to Sainte Anne Marine National Park is very limited. Most islands are only reachable via day tours (~€90–100/person). The main island, Ste Anne, is occupied by Club Med and closed to non-guests.
What the community said
The park comprises six islands. The largest, Ste Anne Island, is entirely occupied by Club Med resort (from ~€700/night all-inclusive for two). Access is restricted to hotel guests only — no day visitors, whether on a tour or independently.

Day tours from Mahé visit Moyenne Island, Cerf Island, and a sandbar. The itinerary typically includes snorkeling, turtle feeding, and a BBQ lunch. Cost is around €90–100 per person, covering hotel transfers from the north of Mahé, snorkeling gear rental, and the marine park entrance fee.

The BBQ and food quality on these day tours is fairly basic — adequate but not impressive. Worth keeping in mind when choosing a tour operator.

Public ferry schedules from Victoria to the park islands are hard to find. The most practical approach is to book a day tour through your hotel or a local agency — they handle transfers and marine park fees.
