Be one of the first foreigners to kayak around the southern islands of the Mergui Archipelago, Myanmar. Comprising over eight hundred islands and covering an area of ten thousand square miles. Explore an area 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, flaura and fauna.

Sea Kayaking is the ideal way to explore the many bays, coves, inlets and tidal rivers of these "Lost islands of Paradise". This is a unique opportunity to enjoy the wild, unspoiled beauty of one of the last places on earth which remains the same today as it was hundreds of years ago.
