Phantastic 4 days
We booked the 4 nights tours around the Similan islands, and our time on the Blue Dolphin was just perfect! The boat is newly refurbished and spacious, catering to smaller groups and taking only 4 divers per guide. Our en-suite cabin was big enough for our suitcases, with a hot shower and a good AC. The instructors Alex and Brie were wonderful, taking care of everything and making us feel safe and well informed. The crew was amazing, always wearing a big smile and feeling us more than welcome, and the food was plentiful and always just great - and we were fed 5 times a day ;-) the dives were amazing, too, plenty of fish and marine life, different sites for all levels. The equipment was in great shape, too - everything was really phantastic, we enjoyed our 4 days thoroughly and can absolutely recommend the Blue Dolphin.

The dive staff and crew treated us like royalty. Amazing!
What can we say? What an amazing experience. The dive team Steve, Will and Ciara did an amazing job above and beneath the water. We feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet interesting and fun fellow divers. We started as strangers but left as friends, with both passengers and dive crew. If you're thinking of doing a live aboard in the Andaman Sea, I would strongly suggest choosing the Blue Dolphin.

fantastic experience on our first liveaboard, highly recommend!
i've been on many boats, just not a Diving live aboard. this boat is very well maintained, no musty or grimy areas, all clean and functioning. As for diving, our guide was professional, knowledgeable, and very personable and fun! All of the crew were so nice and helpful. warm aromatherapy washcloths after every dive, delicious food...we were spoiled!! Cannot recommend this boat and crew enough.
