Where it takes place: Beau Vallon
Full Day Glass-bottom Boat Excursion takes place in or from Beau Vallon. Beau Vallon is the long, sheltered beach on the north-west coast of Mahé and the island's busiest resort area, with a good spread of places to stay and eat.
It is a common pickup point for excursions on Mahé, and the drive to Victoria takes roughly a quarter of an hour over the hill road.
Who it suits
Full Day Glass-bottom Boat Excursion suits families, non-swimmers who still want to see the reef, and anyone who prefers to spend a day on the water rather than on the road. As a shared departure it is a straightforward way to join an organised outing without arranging the logistics yourself.
Planning notes: Full Day Glass-bottom Boat Excursion
Boat trips depend on sea conditions, and operators may change the route or timing for safety. Bring swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sun protection and a hat, and keep valuables in a dry bag.
Sea conditions follow the seasons: the south-east trade winds, roughly May to October, can make open water choppier, while April and the weeks around October and November are often the calmest months for boat trips.
