Perfect trip
Nous avons réservé la veille pour le lendemain. Aucun regret. Le capitaine et Maryse était au top toujours à s’assurer que nous allions bien ou demander ce que nous voulions faire. Une excursion sur mesure. Nous avons raccourci le 4eme arrêt Snorkeling pour prendre le temps au retour de chercher des requins baleine et quelle chance nous avons nagé 20min avec l’un d’entre eux plus au large de beau vallon. Je recommande cette excursion full day avec marine empire charter !!

Excellent trip around the islands
Had a great morning out around the islands near Mahé. The communication was excellent and very reassuring. We were able to tailor make our trip to suit us which was exactly what we hoped so very happy with everything. Arina and her captain were knowledgable about the islands and waters, would definitely recommend!

How to ruin your day while on vacation…
During our vacation, my spouse and I booked a private boat tour (we paid 500 euros) to explore the Seychelles and go snorkeling to see the underwater world. Instead of enjoying the experience, we were met with an extremely unfriendly crew and a terrible smell coming from the boat’s old engines. We decided to end the tour two hours earlier than planned.
