The Ile Cocos Marine National Park is formed around three small islands in the middle of the shallow, turquoise ocean interspersed with coral reefs that offer breathtaking snorkelling experiences.

Das ist DER Meeresnationalpark, der die Aufmerksamkeit vieler Leute auf sich zieht und wegen dem sich viele nach einem Urlaub auf den Seychellen sehnen. Er ziert viele Werbebroschüren.

On La Digue, there are many boat operators offering day or half-day excursions.
The day trip takes place Monday to Friday, costs around €115 and includes a barbecue on the private island Grand Soer. and marine park fees. Afterwards we go snorkelling off the islands Coco and Felicite.
The half-day excursion takes place every day and costs about 55€, this includes the marine park fee and drinks.
There are 2-3 snorkelling spots here off Sister, Cocos and Felicite islands.

The coral reef around Coco Island has largely broken off and faded due to El Nino, but in some places new colourful baby corals can be discovered.
Coco Island is a hotspot for sea turtles
