Moyenne Island
Moyenne Island
Located within the Sainte Anne Marine National Park off the coast of Mahé, this small island serves as a private nature reserve. Visitors go here to walk through cultivated forests and observe diverse wildlife, including giant tortoises, in a protected environment.
Getting There
Access to the island is by boat from the coast of Mahé. From Victoria, travelers typically take a taxi to a nearby jetty or beach launch point before boarding a boat. The boat trip generally takes between 15 to 30 minutes depending on the departure point.
Duration of Visit
A visit typically requires 3 to 5 hours. This allows enough time to walk the island's trails, observe the animals, and return to the mainland.
When to Visit
The island is best visited during the daylight hours. While it does not experience the same level of congestion as the main city center, it is advisable to visit during the drier seasons to ensure the forest trails are easily navigable.
Combining with Other Sites
Because of its location within the marine park, the island can be combined with other nearby landmasses via boat transfers:
- Sainte Anne Marine National Park (0.5km)
- Round Island, Mahe (0.7km)
- Long Island (1.4km)
- Ste. Anne Island (1.9km)
