Which Sainte Anne Marine Park Snorkelling Tour Should You Book?

Updated October 11, 2026 · 3 min read

For most travellers, book the Mahe Island: St. Anne Marine Park Snorkeling Trip: four guided morning hours in the park and 4.9 stars from 77 reviews, for €133 per person. If price or a full day matters more, the Glass-Bottom Boat and Crystal Kayak Snorkeling at Ste Anne Marine Park costs €72. The zip-line trip is a different outing, not a third way to see Sainte Anne.

Four hours, snorkelling first

Only this listing says the tour is guided and runs in the morning, and it names no lunch and no landing. That makes it a half day with the afternoon left free. It costs €61 more than the full-day trip below and the listing does not say why; what you can verify is the guided format and the strongest review record of the three.

Skip it if you want lunch, tortoises or island hopping: none of them is in this description.

€72 for a whole day

The 72-euro listing is the broadest: snorkelling, a glass-bottom boat, a transparent kayak, island hopping, a sandbank landing, a Creole barbecue buffet and giant tortoises. Its 4.5 from 52 reviews sits below the morning trip, and its description does not mention a guide. All those stops share one day, so keen snorkellers get fewer minutes in the water than on the four-hour trip.

The zip-line trip is somewhere else

The third listing flies you over the forest with a view of Port Launay Bay and then snorkels with colourful fish. Its description names Port Launay, not Sainte Anne, so it is not a marine-park alternative to the other two. At €295 for one person and with 16 reviews at 4.5, book it for the zip line.

Our recommendation

For a snorkelling-led half day, book the Mahe Island: St. Anne Marine Park Snorkeling Trip. Take the glass-bottom and kayak day when price, lunch and variety outweigh time in the water, and leave the zip-line trip to people who want the zip line.
