Semi-Submersible - The lower deck of the semi-submersible is comfortably air-conditioned and you will be seated in rows surrounded by large glass windows. Through the glass, colorful fishes in the marine park will be clearly seen right up close. Were it not for the glass in between, you would be able to touch them.
3
Moyenne Island - After enjoying lunch, a dinghy will take you to Moyenne Island. Walk around and marvel at the numerous land tortoises roaming around freely and harmlessly. There is no problem to take many pictures with them.
You can also enjoy relaxing on Moyenne’s two wonderful beaches.
