Ste. Anne Island

Located 4 km east of Mahé, this is the largest island within the Ste. Anne Marine National Park. It is a nature-focused destination characterized by tropical vegetation and a central peak reaching 246 meters. Travelers visit the island for hiking and exploring the coastal environment.

Getting There

Access to the island is by boat from the main coast of Mahé. Depending on the departure point and boat speed, the crossing typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes.

Duration of Visit

A half-day trip is sufficient for those visiting the beaches and shoreline. Visitors intending to hike to the peak or explore the interior vegetation should allow a full day.
