Snorkeling
Seychelles is renowned for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life, making it an ideal destination for snorkeling enthusiasts.
Snorkeling in front of the VallonEnd Beachfront Villa can be a wonderful experience as this location boasts one of the best snorkeling spots on Mahé Island. Just steps away from our villa you can enjoy fantastic underwater ecosystem. Here you can explore colorful coral reefs, swim alongside tropical fish, and maybe even encounter sea turtles and rays.
The best time for snorkeling in Seychelles is during the dry season, which typically runs from May to September. During this period, the water visibility is generally excellent, providing ideal conditions for snorkeling and underwater exploration.
