Full Itinerary

Day 01: Mergui Archipelago Liveaboard

Your trip begins either from Yangon, flying down to Kawthaung, or with a drive from Phuket, Thailand to Ranong, with a crossing to Kawthaung. The choice is yours. Upon clearing immigration, leave from Kawthaung’s Myoma Jetty on a boat that will take you to Kyat Mauk island. This island is part of an archipelago of limestone islands, containing mountains, cliffs, caves, and stunning white-sand beaches. This one of the world’s best-kept secrets in terms of diving havens, with colorful soft corals and caves teeming with exotic underwater life. Today, you’ll make two fun dives and a night dive, upon which you’ll catch glimpses of, and have encounters with the likes of blacktip sharks, tuna, snapper, stingray, turtles, and other rare and beautiful sea species.

Day 02: Mergui Archipelago Liveaboard

Start your day by taking a dive at Honor Rock, a site that’s similar in nature to Thailand’s renowned Richelieu Rock, but far larger. Divers often rave about the quality of the coral here along with the huge seafan forest that can be seen underwater. Your second dive today will be through a tunnel/ cave which is at 20-meters depth, which extends under the entire island. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to catch sightings of Bowmouth Guitarfish, Grey Reef Sharks, Harlequin Shrimp, Seahorses, and more. Your day will finish with a dive at South Rock, where you could see lobsters and reef fish.

Day 03: Mergui Archipelago Liveaboard

Today, you’ll be diving sites around Macleod Island. If you look for a break from diving today, there are a slew of beachside activities you may opt to indulge in, from snorkeling to swimming on remote islands, to relaxing with a good book. Alternatively, you can pay a visit to the Sea Gypsy villages. The Sea Gypsies here are called Moken, and while they recently mostly live on land, in the past they lived primarily on the sea. These locals can dive up to 30 meters’ depth, using only goggles.

Day 04: Mergui Archipelago Liveaboard

Today choose to either do some more diving or explore the area by kayak. If you want to dive, you can see the North Twin Island and its North Pinnacle, an area renowned for its crystal-clear waters, giving incredible visibility. Dive the Shark Cave, swimming with – you guessed it! – sharks. If you’re up for it, you can do a final dive at Gt. Swinton, where Barracuda parade around stunning reefs. Alternatively, you can get into kayaking through the archipelago’s lush mangroves.

Day 05: Mergui Archipelago Liveaboard

Enjoy 2 final dives before the end of your relaxing vacation. Today, you’re off to High Rock & Rocky Island. These wonderful dive sites are renowned for the tiny creatures roaming their waters, from Pipefish to Frogfish, to Seahorses. When you complete these dives, back to Kawthaung for your return journey home.
