The Mergui or Myeik Islands

The Mergui or Myeik islands are a group of hundreds or thousands of smaller and bigger green jewels in the Andaman Sea. Located at the southernmost part of Myanmar, formerly Burma, they are still fairly unknown and unspoilt. During 12 days travelling we only met one single other tourist boat. Some beaches do have sandflies, but their sheer beauty is simply overwhelming. With the crystal clear water, immaculate white sands and the rainforrest right behind they make the perfect cliché picture for holiday dreams. Having a look around, we found footprints of small cats that may have been Civets or Clouded Leopards. Sometimes, we also observed wild monkeys. When snorkelling, one often found marvellous sites, sometimes with lots of fish, sometimes with complete coral reefs in few meters depth. Doing dives, places did differ from the deserts of dynamite fishing to a breathtaking paradise around some rocks. Or, to cut a long story short: this place is what many other ones only pretend to be like.

Cinque Island

The Andamans are truly a heavenly delectable locale and are blessed with an entire caboodle of exotic islands which will beyond a shadow of a doubt blow your mind. The Cinque Island which is considered to be an appendage of the Marine National Park is most certainly one of the gorgeous islands which attracts a hefty bulk of holiday-makers virtually all throughout the year.

The Cinque Island is also very comfortably approachable from any distant corner of Andaman as it takes approximately 3 ½ hours to reach from Wandoor if you are traveling by a boat. Actually, the Cinque Island at Andaman is completely devoid of any sort of human life but exquisite corals and baffling marine life dwells at the abstruse depths of the opulent seas.

Another attraction at the Cinque Island in Andaman is the humongous and at the same time bizarre bar constructed from sand which acts as a rendezvous point for the twin islands of South and North Cinque. The sunset scene at the Cinque Island also deserves a huge round of applause owing to its unparalleled beauty accompanied by a pristine ambiance.
