  This two-day river cruise experience was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip to Myanmar, and as others have noted, it involves so much more than just seeing dolphins.... read more While spotting the rare and beautiful river creatures is amazing (and we saw many on our first day), seeing local village life, cruising on the river, visiting monasteries and pagodas, and sleeping in tents on a sandbar also make the experience unforgettable. The guide is extremely knowledgeable and fun to talk to, and knowing that you're helping contribute to sustainable livelihoods and to patrolling against illegal fishing that harms dolphins is a plus as well. Anyone visiting Myanmar should make this part of their itinerary!

  We booked a private 2-day tour to allow arrival in Mandalay Saturday morning and departure Sunday evening. There were 6 of us in total, including 4 adults and 2... read more young children (ages 4 and 18 mos). The trip exceeded our expectations in nearly every way - first of all, we were fortunate enough to see cooperative fishing in action (which was AMAZING) and got to see additional dolphins from the main boat on a couple of occasions. What a treat! However, beyond that, the trip was very well planned and our whole group enjoyed the various stops (and food!) at the villages, monastery, and sites. Chit was an incredibly knowledgable and friendly leader and it was easy to see how strong his relationships were with the cooking groups/fisherman/guides from the villages. The accommodation was very comfortable and we loved essentially having an island to ourselves for a night! The boat crew was great and we felt very welcome on board with our two young children. Cannot recommend it highly enough!
