Fantastic liveaboard at the Similands on a 1st class boat.
The absolute highlight is of course diving at the Richel Rieu and in the evening after diving and after dinner a Thai massage on the sun deck
Recommended for
The diving area at the Similans and Richel Rieu is really unique, the extra price for a 1st class boat like the Hallelujah and then the master cabin is worthwhile.

Ric and his team have the right blend of relaxation and organization to make this a brilliant trip. The range and mix of challenging and more gentle dive sites worked very well. The local crew were always friendly, the food exceptional and the accommodation clean and comfortable. Well done and keep up the good work!

Unforgettable Experience with Friendly Guides/Staffs
We decided to use Hallelujah based on Liveaboard.com rating, which turned out to be great choice. Dive sites are meticulously selected for every divers with different levels. We started easy sites and built up our skills and finally reached out Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock, where you need to fight with strong current. We enjoyed very much in spite of strong current. Staffs are always smiling and ready to help you at any moment. They're very experienced and will there for you. Food was great (though it's bit salty for me) Fresh water, coffee, tea are provided free all day long. Cheers!

Great Liveaboard
We stayed in the deluxe room and found the room to be comfortable, air-con works fine and there's always hot water to warm you up after diving. I think the dive guides and Thai crew really make the trip. I had a bad experience on my last dive trip in another country and left me feeling very nervous. I communicated this to our Dive Guide, Boots, who is very understanding. Over the past few days he basically nursed my confidence back and seems to be genuinely happy when I finally got it back. In short, best dive guide I ever had. The rest of the dive guides are always open for a chat about underwater life and its apparent they are there because of their love for diving. The Thai crew was excellent. The Thai dive crew ensure we came in and out of the water safely and in a timely manner. The kitchen and housekeeping crew churn out the most amazing Thai and Western food. My room was also usually cleaned by the time we returned after the first dive of the day. Overall, I think this liveaboard has got it right and is very good value for money. I will definitely be back to dive with them again in the future.

Thanks to Hallelujah Trip and crews for such a good experience and I could've interacted with multi-cultural divers who do love ocean as I do :)
What a experience on Ricelliu Point! I could meet those glorious marine species. It was a perfectly wrapped present, whats actually even better inside!

Great overall scuba experience
Hallelujah is is an excellent mid-range boat. She is comfortable, had a convenient dive deck, has free Nitrox, and an excellent crew. Cabins on the Hallelujah were on the small side, but thats to be expected on a dive boat and it was not an issue as there were several areas where we could relax and socialize both in ac and not in ac during transit times and surface intervals. Hallelujah excels because of her crew. The company has a 4:1 ratio of divers to guides and all groups are guided. These small dive groups allow the company to divide divers into similar dive skill levels and also keep us spread out enough so that it's not a constant sea of divers. With the popularity of the simians, it is not uncommon for there to be 6-8 dive boats of 20 divers each on a dive site. The Hallelujah was great at not diving where the other boats are and constantly looked for dive sites that weren't as crowded. If you want a good vacation that focuses on diving and giving you a customized experience, choose Hallelujah. If you want a boat with a bunch of fussy divers where you are dropped off the dive deck like lemmings in diver soup, choose another boat.

The best liveaboard to dive in the Similans
This is my second time to dive with Hallelujah, and I found it's even better than my last trip!! This is the best liveaboard experience you can have in Thailand. The ship is very spacious, and the diving schedule is designed very nice with a mix of different type of things you could enjoy (landscape, macro, big stuff, etc.) And the crew are super professional and passionate about diving. One highlight is the food - the best food i've had for any liveaboard trip ever. A variety of Thai, Japanese & western food.
