Perfect trip
St Anne Marine Park full day on October 22, 20253 adults

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 !!

We had a great tour of the islands, round the island of Saint Anne, some turtle spotting and the around the top of Mahe down to sunset beach and Beau Vallon for sunset. Nice crew and super knowledgeable on marine wildlife and local history. Really recommend

Excellent trip around the islands
Hourly charter on February 10, 20262 adults

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…
St Anne Marine Park full day on November 19, 20252 adults

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.

Arina Agathine
Response from Captain

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry the experience didn’t meet your expectations. We did our best to communicate despite the language barrier, and throughout the trip you seemed comfortable, with no concerns raised to us directly. You requested to return earlier because of the heat, and we respected your wish. Regarding the engine smell, we acknowledge it and are already arranging an additional service to improve comfort for future guests although safety was never affected. We always appreciate honest feedback and remain committed to improving for all our guests. Thank you.
