Myanmar Adventure Holiday

SEAL's adventure cruise is a magical combination of sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling coral reefs and kayaking around remote, pristine tropical islands. You will discover an abundance of marine and wildlife during our exploration of jungle rivers and ancient mangrove forests.

	The location for our live-aboard adventure cruise is the remote and pristine, Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar (Burma) offering wonderful opportunities for trekking and bird watching - and there's plenty of time to relax on the deserted white sandy beaches, scattered with sea shells and turtle tracks. The only footprints you will find are those of the rain forest animals!
If you have a spirit of adventure and are interested in visiting remote, unspoiled sea and tropical islands you could do no better than come with us on our Adventure Sailing Cruise in the beautiful Mergui Archipelago. This cruise is a wonderful combination of sailing, sea kayaking, exploration, snorkeling, and diving, suitable for non-divers as well as divers.

Every day you will be able to go ashore; we will show you some of the secrets of the rain forest as well as explore ancient mangrove areas and jungle rivers. And there’s plenty of time to relax on the deserted white sandy beaches, snorkel and swim. Plus, you could expect to do six to eight dives during the course of the trip.

Comprising over eight hundred islands and covering an area of ten thousand square miles, these pristine islands are totally untouched by modern development, with a rich history of maritime trade, mysticism and piracy. The modern-day Mergui Archipelago is as it was in days gone by, bar the piracy!

Due to the Archipelago’s virtual isolation, the islands and surrounding seas are alive with an amazing diversity of wildlife, flora and fauna. Parrots, hornbills, sea eagles, Brahminy kites and herons fill the skies, whilst on land the animal population includes wild cattle, elephants, monkeys, deer, wild pigs, tigers, crocodiles and rhinoceros.

The sea is alive with an amazing diversity of marine life, great and small, together with soft and hard corals and huge barrel sponges. The ‘greats’ include various species of dolphins, sharks, regular sightings of large numbers of manta rays, giant groupers and other schooling fish, with occasional sightings of whale sharks and bull sharks. Great macro life can be found. Sea horses, Ornate Ghost-pipe and Stone-fish are amongst the archipelago’s rare inhabitants.

The only human inhabitants in the area are the sea gypsies (Mokens), a nomadic sea-faring race whose lifestyle has changed very little over the years, they have been the sole inhabitants of the Mergui Archipelago over the years and still practice the same fishing and boat building techniques used for generations.

The combination of sailing, snorkeling, kayaking, exploring the islands, diving and relaxing onboard a high quality sailing yacht, whilst being pampered by a professional crew, is just one of the reasons that so many people return for a repeat performance!
