Day 02

Ayeyarwaddy Dolphin Exploration with Fishermen

  • After breakfast, start the dolphin exploration with the fishermen's canoes along the river.

  • Approach the dolphins by small canoes, as they get scared by the noise of a boat engine. When the fishermen make strange guttural sounds and tap the side of the canoes with a paddle or bamboo stick, the dolphins come, show their tails, cooperate in the fishing, and chase the boat closely.

  • After witnessing the fishing process alongside the fishermen and dolphins, say goodbye to both of them.

  • Then return to Mandalay and transfer to the hotel.
