THE MERGUI ARCHIPELAGO

Minimum: 2 persons

PEARL OF THE ANDAMAN SEA : 5 DAY/4 NIGHT

The archipelago of the Mergui Islands extends in the south of Myanmar from Dawei to the Thai border. It is comprised of more than 850 scattered islands in a superb sea setting that is far away from any crowds, with fabulous pristine beaches. These islands inhabitants are the Moken. This ethnic group, because its always moves from island to island, is also called “sea gypsies” or “Salone”.

The archipelago of the Mergui Islands was for a long time completely closed. Only during the last two years it has been opened to a limited number of adventurous tourists and divers. It is an absolutely unique place where you will be able to discover unvisited islands, intact nature and meet the famous “Sea gypsies” the Moken, who live most of the time on their boats.We propose several introductory programs in the Mergui Islands. During any of these cruise options, you will be able to sleep on a boat or in a tent on a beach, explore the islands of your choice in a sea kayak.

Diving/snorkeling opportunities are also available.As there are still few tourist going there, the starting date will be the one suitable for you. Two boats are making island tours: one for four, one for six persons. The use of the boat is for you only and we can asily incorporate this destination in your program in Myanmar.

The most frequent cruise duration is a 4-day /3-night roundtrip from Kaw Thaung, which including Yangonto
Yangonmakes for a 5-day/4-night trip.
