  I checked off an item from my my bucket list, which was meeting the Irrawaddy dolphins. I contacted WCS, the living Irrawaddy dolphin project. First, we headed to Sinkyun Village... read more along the Irrawaddy river. Around 10am, we found 3 or 4 dolphins in the Tha Phan Nout area. So, we followed them with a skillful fisherman(U Mg Lay).

He has been collaborating with dolphins for fishing since 1984. Unfortunately, we didn’t have a chance to see them again at that time, even though we spent 2 1/2 hours in the river.

After that, we studied the villager’s life at Sin Kyun Village. Around 4pm, we planned to head back to our hotel when something happened. A huge group of dolphins were playing near our boat. That was the most breathtaking view I have ever seen. More than 15 dolphins were swimming, fishing, and splitting the water. Never have I ever had that kind of moment in my life. I really appreciate everyone, especially our tour guide— Ko Nyein, a fishermen leader— U Mg lay, the gracious Sin Kyun villagers, and so on.

  Truly a very special experience to spot the dolphins in their natural habitat! So beautiful! But also all other activities are more then worthwhile!

  I cannot recommend this trip enough. The service was top quality, with a very friendly, helpful and informative guide. The food was delicious, organic and restaurant-beating (made by villagers). Their... read more flat beans, chapattis and home-made peanut butter were especially tasty. It was wonderful to be welcomed into their homes and gardens, and to see their many skills, learning to make bamboo hats and about cooperative dolphin fishing. And of course, the dolphins - how magical to see them splash out of the water so close to our boat at sunset, as well as in the morning. The dolphins work with the fishermen to catch more fish together: one of the last examples of animal-human cooperation on earth. Much of the money gained from your fare goes back to these rural local communities, as well as to dolphin conservation. It was so enjoyable to just sit on deck, drinking tea in the sunshine and watching the sleepy Irrawaddy world go by. Gleaming gold pagodas appear between forests and riverbanks, as well as ancient sites, such as Mingun village - a fascinating trip in itself, which is included here. We were also taken to a deer forest, a monastery and sailed past a natural mountain of marble. We dined by candlelight on the riverbank in the evening and slept in the beautiful (and very comfortable) tents. Being here is good for the soul - you remember the joy of nature and forget the madness of modern life.
