Can’t say enough good things
The crew on Solitude One really made the experience exceptional. The dive masters are excellent, and know the dive sites very well. Our dive master was incredible at finding tiny things we would never have seen without him. We had some of our favorite dives of all time on our trip. The crew working on the dive deck was wonderful as well - just so helpful, and we loved the hot or cold towels when we got back from a dive, and the hot chocolate after a night dive. Everyone was just so friendly and lively. Just a lot of good vibes. Food was varied and plentiful and tasty - we especially enjoyed some of the baked snacks, all made fresh! We enjoyed reading the reference books and making tea / coffee in the lounge, as well as sunning out on the deck between dives. The rooms were comfortable and kept very clean. Highly recommend Solitude One!

Comprehensive approach to deliver a good and also safe experience for the guests from pickup from hotel to drop off at airport
Cathedral Cave dive, variety of dives, nice mix with welcome drink, BBQ on the beach, land excursions, sight seeing and cocktail reception towards the end. What was a nice touch was the dedicated tunes for wake up, dive briefing, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The whole organization works like clockwork.

The best trip you will never forget
まず、たまたま、私たち含めお客が4人しかおらず、広々した船内をたった4人で占有することができ、大変快適でした(笑)そしてインストラクターの方々や、スタッフの方々は大変親切で、何の心配もいりません。タンクの交換はもちろん、ナイトロックスのアナライズや、器材の洗浄、毎ダイブの着脱など、全部をやってくれました。私たちはただ、BCDを付けて、潜るだけでした(笑)日本人は私たち2人だけで、日本語を話せるスタッフが居なかったので少し心配でしたが、最低限ブリーフィングを聞き取れるリスニング力と、パッションがあれば大丈夫でした！みなさん沢山話しかけてくれたので、とても楽しい旅でした。日々の食事も美味しかったですが、新婚旅行で来ていることを話すと翌日、日本食を特別に作ってくれました！海の中は想像以上で、楽園という言葉はまさにパラオの海のためにあるんだ、と感じた程です。大物、マクロ、地形、なんでもあります。最高の新婚旅行でした。また機会があれば、ぜひまた乗りたいと思います。ありがとうございました！！First of all, there happened to be only 4 guests, including us, and we were able to occupy the spacious ship with only 4 people, which was very comfortable (lol).The instructors and staff were very friendly and helpful, and we didn't have to worry about a thing.They did everything from changing our tanks, to analizing our nitrox, to cleaning our equipment, to putting on and taking off every dive, etc....We just had to put on our BCD and dive, lol.We were a little worried because we were the only two Japanese and there were no Japanese speaking staff, but at least we had the listening skills to understand the briefings and the passion!Everyone talked to us a lot, so it was a very enjoyable trip.The daily meals were delicious, but when I told the staff that we were here on our honeymoon, they made a special Japanese meal for us the next day!The ocean was so much more than I had imagined, I felt that the word "paradise" is exactly what Palau's ocean is for.Big fish, macro, topography, you name it, it's there.It was the best honeymoon ever.If we have the chance to go back, we would definitely go on it again.Thank you!

Great diving from a large ship
Everything went according to plan. Of a maximum of 22 divers, there were only 14 of us. We had lots of room on the anyway spacious vessel. The cruise is very well organized, the dive guides are helpful and knowledgable. There are two dive boats (called "skiffs"), your gear stays on these boats all the time, and all dives are done from these boats. The cruise was around full moon, and we were lucky to witness the red snapper spawning, as well as mantas at cleaning stations, and feeding. Many, many sharks around, even bull sharks and hammerheads. Plus a lot of turtles. On one night, there is a BBQ (already prepared by the crew beforehand) on the beach of Ulong Island (you are there less than 2 hours, which is a bit short). On the last day, there is a visit to Jellyfish lake (snorkling only). Everything is included, except alcohol ($3 can of beer, $30 bottle of wine). Remember that you have to pay additional $210 for permits/fees and $135 for Nitrox (which everybody used) on board.

Awesome Trip to Tubbataha with Solitude One
The boat is fantastic, very spacious and offers all a diver heart is looking for. A professional crew provides first class service, pampers you and reads every wish from your eyes. We got 5 meals a day, which was delicious and also the cabin was excellent. Last but not least, the Diving was great. Conclusion: the best LiveAboard Trip we had and we sure come back for an other tour with Solitude One
