5 giant humphead parrotfishes at 5 m distance..., night-diving..., sitting on board at the sun deck and watching islands passing by... SeaPearl is an adventure we can definitely recommend who wants to live an authentic experience...

Perfect blend of diving, sight-seeing, swimming & relaxation; a wonderful ship with the ambiance of an old sailing ship; being not so experienced divers tje Seychelles with its relatively shallow waters (max 20m depth) offered opportunity for both training & wild life discoveries...

A great way to get to know the Seychelles above and below the water.
It was a very complete experience, with navigation between the islands, visits and excursions through the different islands, plants, birds and land turtles, with trekking routes, bicycles, dream beaches, barbecues on the beach, warm waters, ideal temperature for the month of January. The dive was very simple, shallow, lots of coral, turtles, some sharks and many other fish, much better than expected, although the visibility was not very good, about 10-15 meters.

Great experience
The Sea Pearl is a beautiful ship on which we felt very comfortable. We had many beautiful experiences on the islands and did great dives. Absolute highlight: Diving with a whale shark - breathtaking. The program was relatively tight overall, but we definitely experienced something. A huge compliment also to the super nice crew!

Great time on the Sea Pearl
Wonderful cruise with lots of great excursions! Very competent crew, always helpful and cheerful - gave us a great start to the new year!Unfortunately caught a total cold and couldn't dive. While snorkeling, there were a lot of jellyfish and plankton on the way, which was a bit unpleasant... Coral reefs pretty much dead as coral bleaching and many crowns of thorns destroyed the reef in 2016. Fish abundance but ok, sharks, eagle rays, turtles, cuttlefish etc. all available! Even dolphins crossed our path.We would love to come back!

Superb cruise with this diving option
We had booked on Sea Pearl and finally boarded the Sea Bird... great experience... The shore visits, the dives, the top organization, the friendly and attentive atmosphere, the great meals... In summary, a superb cruise that we would like to do in other places in the world. Classic cruise with tours and an optional diving package....

Superb Diving on the Sea Pearl
First of all the Seychelles themselves are amazing, clean waters and a healthy marine habitat. We were able to see 1-2 octopus during each dive and on one occasion saw 4. Very different from Carribbean diving. Also seeing the different islands along the way was a good way to experience the Seychelles.

Great week with plenty to do for divers and non divers alike.
They had changed the boat to the Sea Bird when we arrived. It was bigger than the Sea Pearl so we were happy. The food was great and as a non diver myself, the trips onto the Islands were great, especially the trip to Aride to see all the nesting birds. The only thing I would say is that being at the front of the boat our cabin had very little floor space, but we had taken minimal soft bags, so that was fine. The bathroom was a bit tired, but the shower was good with hot water. My husband did 8 dives and saw plenty of fish, but the visibility wasn’t great. The kit and staff were good. We were lucky enough to see 2 whalesharks from the boat as we were moving between islands which was a bonus!

Only happiness at a fair price! thank you to Liveboard for this tasty trip to the Seychelles✨✨✨👍
everything went very well, the Seychelles paradise on land and sea, the sun and the ocean at 27°. Sailing in small stages, no seasickness problems. Creole meals are sometimes excellent a little too little in terms of variety, lack of dairy. I'm not a diver but while snorkeling I even encountered a bull shark near the boat👀

The crew and the captain always take care of the exemplary kindness of the passengers. Drop anchor near beaches and paradisiacal sites!. Great atmosphere on the boat Luck to run into friendly people, this is not always the case!.

A great combination of diving and land activities
My original booking was on the Sea Pearl but I was upgraded to the Sea Star, due to a cancellation. The crew was amazing, really attentive and professional, the food was delicious and although I expect to have only 8 days during the trip I had 13 because they were very flexible in the itinerary and always arranged the diving schedule to match the land activities There were diving every day. There were a few guests in my trip, so we had all the boat for ourselves. The boat has no Wi-Fi on board but you can get a local SIM card that works throughout the itinerary.
