About this activity
Itinerary
Day 1: Day 1
Pass By: Lampi Marine National Park, Myanmar
06:00 Our adventure starts at the Andaman Snorkel Discovery office in Khao Lak to begin our transfers to Ranong, which will take around 3.5 hours before we embark on the MV Reggae Queen. Whilst welcoming you aboard, staff will complete formalities with Thai Immigration, checking you out of Thailand. During the short cruise to Kaw Thuang, Myanmar we will serve lunch. Once we are cleared by Myanmar Immigration, we will weight anchor and cruise to at the 115 Island Group. The journey takes around 6 hours passing by breathtaking island landscapes, spectacular bays and lagoons of the Mergui Archipelago.
19:00 Dinner is served. The Reggae Queen will remain anchored at the 115 Island Group overnight.
No meals included on this day.
Accommodation included: overnight onboard
Day 2: Day 2
Stop At: Lampi Marine National Park, Myanmar
07:30 Breakfast is served after which we will hold a short introduction about the Mergui Archipelago and some of the special areas we will be snorkelling during the trip. After a briefing and instructions on how to use the snorkel equipment it is time to hit the water for our first snorkel stop which will last approximately 1 hour. The 115 Island Group has beautiful sandy beaches which invite you to linger here for longer. After lunch the Reggae Queen will cruise to Pony Island for our next snorkel stop. The northern part of the reef at Pony Island has countless coral species and fish of all sizes and shapes, a real highlight for the avid snorkeler. Snorkelling here may extend to 90 minutes. Afterwards we will cruise for approximately 3.5 hours to Lampi Island, the largest islands in the northern part of the Mergui Archipelago.
The Reggae Queen will anchor between Lampi Island and Kubo Island which lies in the flight path of Great Hornbill birds. With a little luck we might be able to observe one or more of these rare specimens. There is an optional visit to a small Moken village followed by dinner at around 19:00.
Duration: 1 day
No meals included on this day.
Accommodation included: overnight onboard
Day 3: Day 3
Stop At: Lampi Marine National Park, Myanmar
07:30 Breakfast is served whilst the Reggae Queen cruises to the western point of Lampi Island. Here we find a completely untouched underwater scene with one of the most beautiful reefs we have ever snorkelled. There are Soft corals, hard corals and stag horn corals in an indescribable splendour of different hues and colours in the crystal clear shallow waters. Our snorkel stop here is for approximately 90 minutes. The Reggae Queen then cruises for around 45 minutes to our next destination, Nine Pin Island located on the eastern side of Lampi Island. We will snorkel here, again for approximately 90 minutes, amongst the impressive flora and fauna found in the turquoise, shallow waters.
Weighing anchor we then cruise on to Great Swinton Island. Dinner is served on the way which is a great opportunity to relax and socialise with fellow guests onboard the MV Reggae Queen.
Duration: 1 day
No meals included on this day.
Accommodation included: overnight onboard
Day 4: Day 4
Stop At: Lampi Marine National Park, Myanmar
07:30 Breakfast is served onboard the Reggae Queen. The shallow water reefs along the southern length of Great Swinton are all only a few minutes apart. We will spend the day exploring, snorkelling the different reefs. The highlight of the day is White Rock, a small limestone rock formation with beautiful corals and plenty of colourful fish life. Opposite Great Swinton there is a beautiful uninhabited island which begs further exploration. A small freshwater waterfall, which is surprisingly cold, flows directly into the sea and provides welcomed refreshment during the hot afternoon. Later the Reggae Queen will anchor off a large bay to the east of Great Swinton Island. Whilst the cook prepares dinner there is the opportunity to visit a small fishing village located here. Though small the village boasts an impressive temple complex and the small houses and shops offer a rare insight into the daily lives of the islanders.
19:00 Dinner is served. The Reggae Queen will remain anchored in the bay so we can enjoy a cozy evening with cool drinks recounting the experiences we have shared so far.
Duration: 1 day
No meals included on this day.
Accommodation included: overnight onboard
Day 5: Day 5
Stop At: Lampi Marine National Park, Myanmar
07:30 Breakfast is served whilst the Reggae Queen returns to the south of Great Swinton Island. Our first snorkel spot is at a beautiful, untouched coral reef where you can encounter lionfish, boxfish and many more exotic species of tropical fish. Snorkelling here will be for approximately 90 minutes. Afterwards we cruise to Nga Mann Island for our final snorkel spot of the day and for the tour. Nga Mann Island is an uninhabited island with a kilometre long, snowy-white sandy beach and a small fringing reef. This is a true paradise that will make you feel like Robinson Crusoe. Around noon we weigh anchor for our cruise back to Kaw Thaung, arriving there in the early evening.
After dinner on board the Reggae Queen we head ashore to experience the hustle and bustle of the city's small harbour area by night.
Duration: 1 day
