REAL pictures of dugong and dolphin sightings taken by
our guests from Alaska! No photo shop! 

With us, the Dugong Tracking & Bird-watching Tour is almost a religious activity. We advise
 intending participants on how to behave correctly and why it is important to take the right
approach before and during the trip. Our English-speaking Professor or his Assistant will also
tell you about traditional Sea Gypsy believes concerning seeing and not seeing the Dugong.
The chances of seeing the Dugong is very high with usbecause we follow strictly the
“Rules of Nature” – meaning we take into consideration correct timing, sea-level condition,
wind conditions, and going with the right equipment. We also know a lot about Dugong behaviour
to enable us to find them in the most favourable atmosphere – not like many copycats who rave
their engines haphazardly and cutting the sea-grass with their longtail blades. Respect for the
Dugongs’ turf is vital to your chances of seeing them.

Big boats and overloaded small boats will drive the Dugongs away to hide somewhere, not to be
seen by any one. After you have enough of the Sea Cows appearing and disappearing, we move 
on to Bird Territories – the many mounds appearing over the horizon where many types of migratory
birds can be sighted. For those who know about birds, this is a fantastic treat. Birds of different
feathers all flock together to enjoy the warm sunshine as well as feeding on the rich variety of 
sea food that abounds. Singular birds and flocks of them can be seen flying about – 
a busy time for the photographer no doubt.

Then we move on to the Forestry Museum Park where our excited Guests can walk leisurely
examining some of the rare exhibits of marine life. A picnic lunch will be served. After a rest,
our Boatman will take you to a nearby sea-grass area with crystal-clear waters for Guests to
have a dive and snorkel around. This is one of  the many feeding ground of the Dugongs and
one can actually see the “eating paths” of the Dugongs at the bottom. By 2-3 pm, it is time 
to cruise back to base, passing by some Sea Gypsy villages and beautiful scenery.

TESTIMONIALS

‘This morning we went on the Libong Island Tour and within 20 minutes  of leaving 
the resort we saw not one but TWO dugongs. We also saw lots of birds  
(curlew waders and an eagle) and 2 pinkish colored dolphins’. 
Stuart and  Nicola (UK)  16 March 2005

We saw a grey nose above the water, the dugong took a deep breath and  
disappeared again. We saw it several times after and also had a magnificent  
experience when we saw a school of pink dolphins very close to our boat 
(maybe  10 m) and we followed them for a while’
