Private catamaran for snorkeling & turtles at Anses d’Arlet

What to Expect

Treat yourself to a fully private full-day at sea, dedicated to snorkeling and observing sea turtles, departing from Grande Anse d’Arlet.

This experience is ideal for families, groups of friends, or couples looking to enjoy an exclusive experience in a preserved natural environment.

The trip takes place in a small group (up to 14 people) with a focus on discovering the marine environment. Explanations are provided throughout the day to better understand the species observed and their behaviors.

The navigation follows an eco-responsible approach, with reduced fuel consumption, the use of renewable energies on board, and awareness of marine biodiversity.

The day alternates between snorkeling sessions on coral reefs, observation of green and hawksbill turtles present year-round, use of paddleboards, and onboard relaxation time with a rare water play area on this type of catamaran (rope jumping, hammocks, swings under the boat).

Scuba diving or “turtles & biodiversity” training options can be added according to your preferences.
