Overview
From Anse Marcel the catamaran first goes to Rocher Créole off Grand Case for a snorkel on the shallow, sheltered reef. It then crosses to uninhabited Tintamarre: the Baie Blanche beach, the snorkel spot off the north point and aircraft wrecks left from the 1944–1952 airstrip. On the way back there is a beach and swim stop at Îlet Pinel. All stops are in the national nature reserve and reserve moorings are used.
