How to Get to Moyenne Island
Moyenne Island is reached by boat from Mahe. Which boat days land there, where each picks up or leaves from, and what to check before you book.
You get to Moyenne Island by boat from Mahe, the main island of the Seychelles. Moyenne lies in Sainte Anne Marine National Park, which the Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority (SPGA) places about 5 km from Mahe and a 10-minute boat ride from Victoria. The island is privately owned, and the way onto it sold on this site is a boat day that lands there and brings you back to Mahe. Creole Travel Services’ Mahé: Saint-Anne Marine Park and Moyenne Island Cruise collects you at set pickup points on Mahe, from $163 per adult (checked November 2026).
The calendar above shows the cruise’s pickup points when you pick a date. It has 606 reviews (checked November 2026).
Where each boat day starts

Two of the four start at Eden Island, on Mahe’s east coast facing the marine park. The other two collect you and take you to their boat. The pickup points show once you pick a date, so check on each calendar that your hotel or a point near it is on the list before you pay.

What reviewers say about the pickup
Late pickups come up again and again in the reviews of these days. On Creole Travel Services’ cruise, a reviewer waited about 30 minutes for a late pickup on 9 May 2026, while many others found the driver on time. On East coast Explorer's day, reviewers were picked up 40 to 45 minutes late (26 August and 8 November 2026), and one booking was missed at the hotel until a phone call sent a taxi (31 October 2026). On Mae Guide's day, reviewers report pickups more than an hour late (19 August and 7 November 2026) and no pickup time sent before the trip (8 November 2026). Have the operator’s contact details from your booking with you on the morning.
Which days you can go
Creole Travel Services’ cruise was on sale on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays only on the calendar checked in November 2026, and some of those were sold out. Vision Voyages DMC's reef safari was not on sale on Thursday 14 January 2027. The other two days were on sale on the Sunday and Thursday checked (29 November 2026 and 14 January 2027). If you have one free day on Mahe, check it on each calendar first.
Arriving on Moyenne
A reviewer of Creole Travel Services’ cruise wrote on 30 May 2025 that the catamaran does not tie up at the island: a small boat takes you ashore and you step out into the water. The walk round the island is about 30 minutes in SPGA’s description; giant tortoises and the trail has what you see. The landing fee is in the cruise’s price; on Mae Guide's and East coast Explorer's days it is paid separately, as the Moyenne Island entrance fee explains.
If you would rather stay near the boats that leave from the marina, Eden Island hotels has room searches there.
