Ste Anne National Park (Mahe Island)

Sainte Anne Marine National Park encompasses eight small islands in the Indian Ocean. Sainte Anne Island and Cerf Island are two of the largest islands in the park. Round Island used to be a leper colony, and today it’s a popular diving site. Moyenne Island was owned privately and now it’s a nature reserve. Long Island, Ile Cachée, Île Seche, and Harrison Rock are other islands in Sainte Anne Marine National Park.

Features and Nearby Attractions

The park features granitic islands where green and hawksbill turtles, as well as bottlenose dolphins, are found. There are Creole restaurants on Moyenne and Cerf islands and a number of gourmet restaurants on Sainte Anne Island.

Location

Roughly 20 minutes from Victoria harbor by slow boat, the national park is located in the Mont Fleuri district near the capital city of Victoria in Seychelles. Both private boats and shared ferries offer transport to reach the park.

History of Sainte Anne Marine National Park

The area of the park was a private property before it was declared a nature reserve. This marine national park in Seychelles was created in 1973 for wildlife conservation. First of its kind in the Indian Ocean, this marine national park covers a total area of 14.45 square kilometers and a land area of 3.9 square km.

Activities in Sainte Anne Marine National Park

The Sainte Anne Marine National Park is a vital part of the natural and cultural heritage of Seychellois. The islands are one of the major tourist attractions in Seychelles for scuba diving, glass bottom boat excursions, fish feeding, and snorkeling among the coral reefs. Day tours to this park are regularly organized for tourists looking for some fun under the sun.

The lively underwater world attracts tourists from all over the world to encounter magnificent coral gardens, reef sharks, and tropical fish. Scuba diving in Sainte Anne Marine National Park can be enjoyed throughout the year. Local tour operators offer regular day trips to the park from Victoria.

Attractions in Sainte Anne Marine National Park

With an area of 2.27 sq. km, Sainte Anne Island is the largest of eight islands. It features a large luxury resort named Sainte Anne Island Resort. The island has 6 big beaches: Grande Anse, Anse Royale, Anse Tortues, Anse Cimitiere, Anse Manon, and Anse Cabot. Activities such as snorkelling, parasailing, and surfing can be enjoyed at the beaches. Taking a boat tour of these beaches is another fun way to explore the park.

A few of these beaches are popular resting sites for sea turtles between November and February while other beaches are accessible only via foot. The highest point on Sainte Anne Island is 246 meters.

Second largest in size, Cerf Island has three luxury hotels: Cerf Island Marine Park Resort, Fairy Tern Chalets, and L'Habitation. The island also has an art gallery, chapels, and a cemetery. The calm and shallow waters around Cerf Island are an amazing sight to behold. The deepest point of the Marine Park is 250 meters. There are more than 150 species of marine species such as reef fish, crabs, sea urchins, and starfish in the national park.

    Trip was well organised and was happy with all the itineraries given. Got one day rental car in Mahe and Praslin which was very helpful to roam around the beaches. Many other families who came from other travel agencies, I would definitely say that our itineraries was best with the budget. Nikita

    Abhik's 7 days trip to Seychelles

    The support in terms of booking was very prompt and swift from both Travel Triangle and their agent Holiday Box. Whatever was promised as part of the voucher and itinirary, was delivered. In fact there were couple of emergency changes I had requested to Kunal from Holiday Box, which was efficiently
    accommodated. Overall, I will recommend.

Everything was taken care of well in advance, starting from our arrival at Seychelles till we caught a flight back to India. The hotels were extraordinary, and the travel agent/agency was mindblowing. We loved ev

    Dr Group

    Mumbai

    Dr's 7 days trip to Seychelles

    We had a visit to Seychelles in first week of April and stayed in Mahe and Praslin , 3 nights each. It was with the help of Mr Kunal of Holidaybox. He was quite helpful all the time and contactable. He gave the best rate compared to other tour operators. Hotels booked at both Mahe and Praslin were
    good, Mahe hotel (Coral Strand Smart Choice ) was better with choice of 3 restaurants. It is advisable to buy 5L water bottles from nearby supermarkets as these are extremely costly in hotels. We also had a day tour to La Digue. Overall experience was good. I wish we knew that walking was not practical for us senior citizens in LaDigue and since we do not cycle and did not know about other options we had to shell out SCR 2000 taxi at an exorbitant price. It is advisable to pre- book electric buggy (cheaper) at LaDigue in advance for those who do not cycle but we had no prior information. All these buggies were pre-booked and we had to engage a taxi. The services of Creole travel service was amazingly perfect however the other provider Jadore for St Anne Marine national park was not that professional. They had mentioned wrong hotels against guests which caused confusion to the pick-up driver. Also we had to argue with Maria of the company to show the Moyenne island which was included in the voucher sent by them. Maria later promised us on phone (after lot of arguments) that she will refund the ticket price which was refunded eventually after return to India through Holiday box. The Barbecue lunch at Cerf island was also unclean and not good for vegetarians. Only Rice and Dal (pulses) were provided to vegetarians, no equivalent BBQ veg. I wish St Anne park was also booked with Creole travel services rather than Jadore.
