The Sainte Anne Marine National Park

The Sainte Anne Marine National Park is located about 5 kilometers from the capital, Victoria, and includes eight small islands. Established in 1973, it was the first marine park of its kind in the Indian Ocean, created to protect wildlife. Today, the park is known as one of the top tourist destinations in the Indian Ocean for snorkeling among coral reefs and glass-bottom boat trips, while fishing and water skiing are prohibited.
