Fantastic tour - Absolutely wonderful experience. We were picked up promptly from our hotel in a very clean bus with a courteous driver. The boat was very nice with shaded and open areas, clean bathrooms. The guides and shipmates were very warm, polite and helpful. The snorkeling was excellent with lots of fish and reef . Moyene Island and the BBQ lunch were outstanding. All in all a fantastic way to spend the day

Fantastic Sainte Marine. - Sainte Marine (30 mins from Ferry at Roscoff) embodies Tranquility, a beautiful place with no shortage of good quality Restaurants & Café's and even the preverbial weekly market.. A clean & tidy laid back harbour village, the locals/people we found are extremely friendly and welcoming. I would simply say, remember that we are the visitors and guests of this beautiful village, being respectful of the their customs & culture should be a given. You wont find any Irish bars selling naff drinks and no Fish & Chip shops, thank goodness. This is a place that is ideal as a base to strike out further afield and do the touristy things that most like to do... If one want busy hustle & bustle then take the low cost water taxi to Benodet.. We have been three times and will go back next year.

Very nice daily trip - Very nice trip, well organised and great guides, in particular our group (we were divided in small group when we went walking around the island) had Collin, who was very nice and entertaining. The snorkelling sessions were also nice and the lunch provided at the island was also excellent, a nice buffet with local music. Overall, very nice and good value for money.

Great tour; professional team - A very well organized tour with a professional and very friendly team! The snorkeling spots were great and the visit to Moyenne was perfect. The BBQ on Moyenne was very good. I also recommend the Pinacolada ;).
If you're lucky, Desmond will be on your tour. He speaks fluent German and, in addition to his infectious friendliness, he can tell you a lot about Moyenne and the Seychelles as a whole.
All in all, a really nice day and every cent was perfectly invested.
Thank you! :)

Nice trip with a sailing boat, which however does not sail. - Nice tour on a catamaran that could sail, which I would have liked to experience. Unfortunately, the snorkeling wasn't as impressive as expected, which may have been partly due to the weather, as the sun didn't always shine.
