Prices
A shared day into Sainte Anne Marine National Park runs $83 to $163 a person and usually includes lunch. A private boat starts at $535 for the boat. And there is a national park fee paid on the island that almost no listing mentions.

Quick answer
A Moyenne Island tour costs from $83 a person, and a day that actually lands on the island starts at $87. Almost every listing includes lunch. On top of the boat price there is a small national park fee, paid on Moyenne itself and usually in cash.

What the money is buying
Landing or not, in the water or above it, how long, and lunch.
Whether the boat lands on Moyenne. This is the first thing to check and the hardest to see in a title. Several listings cross Sainte Anne Marine National Park and anchor at snorkelling stops without stopping on the island at all.
Glass-bottom or snorkelling. Roughly a third of the listings are glass-bottom boats — the reef from above, no swimming required. The rest put you in the water. Both are honest and they cost about the same.
The length of the day. Four hours, six, seven or eight. The eight-hour listings go to a completely different archipelago up by Praslin rather than spending longer at Moyenne.
Lunch. Included on almost everything here, either on a beach or on board. It is a real part of the price and the few listings without it should be compared accordingly.
What a Moyenne Island tour price does not include
None of them is large; all of them surprise people.
Paid on Moyenne itself, separate from the boat, and usually in cash. It goes to the park rather than the operator.
Most trips leave from Victoria or Eden Island on Mahé. A taxi from the west coast beaches is a real cost.
Lunch is usually in; a bar on board usually is not.
Masks are provided on the snorkelling trips. Reef shoes and anything else are yours.
Compare any two Moyenne Island tour prices by asking one question first: does it land on the island? Several of the cheaper listings do not.

Common questions
From $83 for a glass-bottom day and from $87 for a trip that actually lands on the island. Our top pick is $163.
Yes, a small national park fee paid on Moyenne itself, usually in cash. It is separate from the boat price.
On almost every full-day listing here, either on a beach or on board. The listing says so explicitly.
Because of whether they land on the island, whether you snorkel or look through glass, and how long the day is — not because of a different destination.
It starts at $535 for the boat rather than per person, so for four or more people the arithmetic is closer than it looks.
Most listings here reserve now and pay later, and cancel free up to 24 hours before.
