Fish feeding time

If you do not want to snorkel then you can stay on the boat and watch the fish come up to get food from one of the crew.

Boat tour

You can make arrangements at most of the hotels on Praslin or Mahe to come here for a short stop to snorkel or you can come out for a day of diving.
You will come on a boat from the hotel.

Coral

When we were there we did notice that the reefs did not look very healthy and had been affected by coral bleaching.
They said it was caused by the warming effect or El Nino.

Luggage and bags: Bring a small backpack or bag with everything you will need for the day.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Wear your swimsuit if you plan to swim, there is no where to change when you get there.
You will also need a towel.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Bring tissue, insect repellant, and sunscreen
There are mites and mosquitos on these islands and the sun is very bright reflecting off the water and sand.

Photo Equipment: Bring camera and film or memory card. An underwater camera is good to have also.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Bring your snorkel equipment if you plan to snorkel.

Miscellaneous: Bring bottled water because you will get very thirsty before lunch time.
