Unterwasserpfad Île aux Canards

The underwater trail extends 400 meters through five designated areas marked by buoys, with depths ranging from 2 to 7 meters beneath the surface.

The trail was established in 2001 through collaboration between marine biologist Sebastien Faninoz and the Centre d'initiation à l'environnement to promote marine conservation.

The trail features educational underwater boards explaining marine habitats, including the symbiotic relationship between sea anemones and clownfish in the Pacific waters.

Visitors can access the trail via taxi boats departing every ten minutes from Vata Cove, with snorkeling equipment available for rent at the island.

A team of 40 volunteers maintains the trail and educates visitors about marine life, while protecting slow-growing branched coral formations in designated areas.
