🤿 The Guide to the Best Snorkeling Spots

📍 Mahé

  • Anse Royale: The easiest spot. Between the “Fairyland” rocks, great visibility and plenty of clownfish.
  • Port Launay: Protected area, glassy sea. Ideal to spot rays and octopus.
  • Baie Ternay: Reached by hike or boat. Some of the island’s best-preserved corals.
  • Anse Soleil: Excellent below the granite cliffs (watch the waves).

📍 Praslin

  • Anse Lazio: Go all the way to the far right (towards the rocks). Turtles are often seen.
  • Anse Petite Cour: Opposite Domaine de La Réserve hotel. Very fish-rich.
  • St Pierre Islet: (Boat required) The postcard-perfect Seychelles. Schools of fusiliers and colorful coral heads.
  • Anse La Blague: Less known, very calm—great for spotting big parrotfish.

📍 La Digue

  • Anse Sévère: The island’s best spot at high tide. Turtles often swim among bathers.
  • Anse Source d'Argent: Shallow lagoon, perfect for beginners.
  • Anse Réunion: Eagle rays are often visible early in the morning.
  • Coco & Félicité: (Boat required) The “must-do”. Reef sharks (harmless) and soft-coral gardens.
