Ilet Pinel Snorkel Trail
18° 6.4′ N · 63° 0.8′ W · approximate
The Reserve Naturelle's underwater discovery trail at Pinel - protected seagrass and reef life on a guided fin-and-mask route, with a marine-biologist guide renting gear.
Practical
Coordinate is approximate (centre of Ilet Pinel; the trail is around the islet - ask the guide on the beach for the start). Protected flora and fauna: do not touch, feed or collect. Ashore, a 1.5 km signed coastal trail links Pinel's three beaches with orientation tables. Shallow coral shoals partly surround the island - snorkel from the beach rather than taking the dinghy over the reef.
Best for
Guided snorkelling for all levels
