In total, the park covers 14.43 km² (5.6 sq. miles), and consists mostly of coral reef. | |
| The area of the park's six islands, which themselves count among the so-called 'Inner Islands' of the Seychelles, being made up of the traditional mix of volcanic rock and granite, is just 3.8 km² (1.5 sq. miles). Around 40,000 tourists visit the park every year, which equates to approximately one third of all Seychelles visitors. By employing guides, boat operators etc. in the park, tourists are not only contributing to the GDP of the Seychelles, but also financing protection efforts in the park. | |
