Luxury & Small Group Tours to Mergui, Myanmar

Nestled in the turquoise embrace of the Andaman Sea, Myanmar's Mergui Archipelago is an untouched treasure, a fragmented dream of over 800 islands. Verdant, jungle-clad islands unfurl from a horizon where water meets sky, housing an abundance of wildlife, including elusive dugongs and playful dolphins. Here, time slumbers, disturbed only by the rhythm of waves and the melodies of birdsong. Among the Archipelago's inhabitants are the Moken, or 'sea gypsies,' traditional nomadic seafarers who possess an intimate bond with the ocean. The Mergui Archipelago, still relatively unknown, calls to the adventurous spirit, offering a unique blend of pristine landscapes, rich biodiversity, and a captivating, age-old culture.

Mergui Archipelago


The Mergui Archipelago, a group of more than 800 islands in the Andaman Sea, is an unspoiled paradise waiting to be discovered. Charter a boat or join a guided tour to explore the islands, many of which are uninhabited. Discover pristine beaches, lush jungles, and vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. Snorkeling and diving opportunities abound, offering the chance to encounter sea turtles, sharks, and a myriad of colourful fish species.

Moken Sea Gypsies


The Moken, also known as the Sea Gypsies, are a semi-nomadic ethnic group that has lived in harmony with the sea for centuries. Visit one of their traditional villages on islands such as Bo Cho or Nyaung Wee to learn about their unique culture, customs, and fishing techniques. The Moken's intimate knowledge of the ocean and its resources offers invaluable insights into sustainable living practices.

Liveaboard Diving


The Mergui Archipelago is a premier destination for scuba diving, with numerous dive sites suitable for all experience levels. Book a liveaboard diving trip to explore remote sites, such as Black Rock and Shark Cave, where you'll encounter manta rays, whale sharks, and an incredible diversity of coral and marine life. The untouched reefs and exceptional visibility make for an unforgettable underwater experience.

Sea Kayaking


Sea kayaking is an excellent way to explore the hidden coves, mangrove forests, and limestone cliffs of the Mergui Archipelago. Paddle through crystal-clear waters, discover secluded beaches, and observe diverse birdlife and wildlife along the way. Guided sea kayaking tours are available, providing the opportunity to learn about the region's ecology and history from knowledgeable local guides.

Local Cuisine


The Mergui Archipelago is renowned for its seafood, which is often caught daily by local fishermen. Savour the catch of the day at a beachside barbecue or dine at a local restaurant serving traditional Burmese and regional dishes. Don't miss the chance to try fresh lobster, crab, and a variety of fish prepared with local spices and ingredients.

Wildlife and Birdwatching


The islands of the Mergui Archipelago are home to a diverse array of bird species, such as hornbills, white-bellied sea eagles, and kingfishers. Additionally, you may spot wildlife such as monitor lizards, crab-eating macaques, and various reptiles. Join a guided birdwatching or wildlife tour to learn about the region's unique flora and fauna while witnessing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.
