Great experience, great scheduling and great dives!!
Extremely well cared liveaboard experience. Number of divers on the boat is just ideal, number of guides/divers as well, cabins are comfortable, food is plenty and well done, drinks are available anytime and the best part is the dive schedule. Absolutely nothing is rushed and there's plenty of surface interval between dives. I've been to a few liveaboards already and I can say the scheduling of the Dolphin Queen was simply the best. You can eat, sleep, dive and repeat with ease. Not to mention the dive sites!! You won't be disappointed with the Similan Islands. Book yours and go!! Completely worth it and highly recommended!!

Great trip to some surprisingly gorgeous diving.
Have to accept that boats in some parts of the world are a lot more ‘snug’ than in other places. That aside, really well looked after and very much want to dive in Thailand again … and will book the same boat.

Would go again, was a great experience ☀️🤿🐡🐟🐠✨
It was a great experience. The Thai crew was so kind and helpful. The instructors were great, the general mood onboard was fun and chirpy! It was really pleasant :) The food was nice and varied! The overall comfort of bedroom was okay, but we are not here for the rooms, and barely there anyways as always out diving, on social on the sun deck or eating/briefing area

- The crew was organising each dive so we wouldn't be crowded with other divers. The program is well organised. Meeting the crew and fellow divers.

The best experience I could have asked for
The dives were really(!) good, beautiful sites, lots of life and coral, but most important, the guides and boat crew were very professional and made sure everything is safe and straight. But for me the best was staying on the boat, it was really cozy and comfortable , the atmosphere was very friendly and fun. Had so much fun hanging with the crew and other divers between and after the dives.

A great break getting back into diving with excellent support
A Very positive experience both diving and generally on board. Everyone was very supportive, especially to a “senior citizen” who hadn’t dived for a couple of years. Highlights were some of the big corals and abundance of fish, plus managing some strong current and surge on a few of the dives.
