Northern
Myanmar Kayaking & Sailing 10 Day Package
Day 1 – Kaw Thuang ( Victoria
Point) to Barwell Island ( Zar Det Nge Kyunn Is):
Transfer by long-tail from Ranong (Thailand) to Kaw Thuang (Burma/Myanmar)
arriving on Chameleon around lunchtime. Once all the paperwork is
sorted, we sail to Barwell Island for an evening arrival.
 Day
2 - Barwell Island to Mid Islands:
After exploring the island by Kayak we sail north to Palu Bada,
Potter Island and Caws Island that make up the Mid group. Wonderful
beaches and great kayaking and snorkeling in this idyllic anchorage
and your first opportunity to see the White Bellied Sea Eagles and
Bromony Kites that circle the skies.
Day 3 - Mid Islands to Lampi National
Park ( Kun Tann Shey Is):
A short journey today to Lampi National Park. First stop is the
Sea Gypsy village on Pu Nala. In the afternoon we explore the coastline
of Pu Nala paddling to Lampi Island then the mangrove rivers on
the west side of Lampi Island. Plenty of wildlife and huge, century-old
mangrove trees towering overhead.
 Day
4 - Further
exploration of Lampi National Park:
with anchorage taken during the night between Lampi ( Kyunn Tann
Shey) and Wa Ale Kyunn Islands. Each evening a flock of sea eagles
come in to feed. A quite, protected anchorage with small tidal creeks
to explore.
Day 5 – Wa Ale Kyunn Island:
We explore the western shores of Wa Ale Kyunn Island taking anchorage
for the evening at Clara Island ( Kyunn Me Gyee Is).
Day 6 – Clara Island to Great
Swinton ( Khu Pin Lat Is):
Today we set sail for Great Swinton Island. Several kilometers of
white sand beaches, beautifully clear warm water and the most pristine
coral you have ever seen. A great island to paddle around with rocky
formations on its western shore.
Day 7 – Great Swinton to Cavern
Island (Hlaing Gu Is) :
Heading south west to Cavern Island. Cavern Island is aptly named
as on the southern end there are indeed several large caverns some
large enough for a boat to go in. They make excellent exploration
by kayak.
Day 8 – Cavern Island to McLeod
Island (Koh Hin Khwa Is):
We sail south, passing deserted tropical islands before arriving
at McLeod Island. Another beautiful island covered in rainforest
and some great snorkeling. Here we have an opportunity to explore
the rainforest and perhaps even see the illusive Rhinoceros Hornbill.
Anchorage is taken in a well protected bay for the evening with
a BBQ ashore. A wonderful clear water and secluded beach with plenty
of areas to explore by kayak.
 Day
9 - McLeod Island to Horseshoe Island (Myin Khwar Is):
Today we travel to the jewel in the crown of the Mergui Archipelago.
As the name suggests, this island in horseshoe shaped with a lagoon
in the middle making it the most idyllic anchorage. Being shallow,
with crystal clear water and a white sand bottom, the whole lagoon
appears like a giant fish tank.
Day 10 - Horseshoe Island to Kawthung:
This morning kayak to the nearby island of Copula (Lon Khwet Is).
The whole inside of the island is a giant cave, which can only be
entered by dingy at low tide. The cave is home to a small number
of people who live in a stilted village above the water. These people
spend their life in the half-light collecting bird's nests for the
soup. After lunch we depart for an evening arrival in Kaw Thaung.
Day 11 - Kawthung:
Leave Chameleon about 9 a.m for the long-tail crossing back to Ranong
(Thailand) to join our minibus to the airport in Ranong or back
to Phuket.
