Located in the south, Mainmahla Island is a hidden gem that is a little bit off the usual tourist path – but it might not be for long! It’s a dream destination for nature lovers, thanks to its many opportunities to spot rare and unique wildlife. Culture is also alive and well on Mainmahla Island, with many fishing villages and traditional customs, such as the “U Shin Gyee” spirit shrine, on the island.
Mainmahla island is home to Myanmar’s largest mangrove forest, which is an ecosystem that supports all kind of interesting animals including dozens of bird species and even crocodiles. There are also many sea turtles, with a hatchery on the island to help build the numbers of hatchlings. Perhaps the most popular and rare animal of all is the Ayeyarwady (or Irrawaddy) dolphin, a beautiful flat-nosed dolphin that can only be found in a few countries worldwide.
