About this experience
Cruise on one of our lavish vessels to a wild and isolated beach on the northwest coast of Mahe Island called Anse Major. Anse Major beach is covered in fine white sand and the granitic cliffs separates the area into two parts. Close to the beach, rises a dense tropical forest and just to the left fresh water flows into a small pool- like spring. The beach is perfect for calm rest, swimming, sunbathing and snorkeling. A delicious creole BBQ will be prepared by our boat crew.
Just around the corner of Anse Major is Anse Du Riz. A hidden beach only accessible by boat. Wild but popular spot with turquoise blue waters and a powder white beach. Catch a tan, swim or snorkel within the area of the Baie Ternay National Park or chill on the boat and admire the pristine beauty!
