Our Tours

  This was an extremely well thought and organized experience. I can’t even cite one thing that needs improvement.
The time was filled adequately for my personal level of energy; the... read more foods along the way was perfect and yummy; the staff was attentive and convivial, along with the numerous locals we met along the way; the sites were very interesting, and of course it was great to see the dolphins and witness the interaction with the fishermen, although, we saw them only once out of the two main opportunities.
Given that i took the tour ONLY to see dolphins, i am so surprised everything was truly enjoyable.

We then transferred to a small boat and followed the local fishermen as they communicated with the dolphins. The dolphins work with the fishermen and being the fish to them so that they can cast their nets for their catch. It is amazing to see the dolphins surfacing briefly and then circling the boat. We had about 90 minutes to watch this and learned that although still very much endangered, the number of dolphins is increasing slowly through the Living Irrawaddy Dolphin Project.

We had lunch back on the larger boat which was provided by a local village. We then spent some time in Sinjun where we had refreshing snacks and drinks and learned how to tie a longhi in many different ways and got to see how the local women make the conical bamboo hats. We received 2 of those hats as gifts.

We then sailed over to Mingun and visited Hsinbyume Pagoda which was delightful.

We sailed back to Mandalay as the sun was setting after a most wonderful day.
