The experience is incredible, the crew is kind and friendly. They are feeding you all the time and is incredible the magic that the chef is doing on board. I highly recommend the experience and, overall, the Manta Queen 1.

Relax your diving trip in Similan
The friendliness of the crew. Really friendly. They always greet me with a smile on my face, which makes me feel good throughout the trip. The food that comes out after diving is also delicious with just the right amount of seasoning. And the important dive guide is FM, and safety is the most important thing in principle. In the case of cabins, there is a separate toilet and the size of the room is appropriate.

Would book again in a heartbeat!
Highly recommend!! Friendly staff, amazing dives, and some of the best dive days of my life :) The rooms are as expected, but are value for price. The food was delicious and always freshly made. I appreciated the well thought out operation - they provided various medicine if needed, electrolyte drinks that I thought were thoughtful.

Simply amazing
Everything was just perfect, organised, planned and managed before and during the trip in a fantastic way. Almost every dive was in a different location and each of them was with great visibility, spectacular corals and variety of fish. We had lots of fun between the dives, sharing diving and life experiences with the other guests, or simply relaxing on the sundeck. Staff and guides were always super helpful, professional, friendly and full of positive energy. This was my first live aboard but after this super positive experience many more will follow very soon!

A great tour with a great crew
The Similian Islands and Surin National Park are truly beautiful and offer a variety of dive sites for all types of divers. The two areas offer a very wide variety of fish, corals and rocks as well as different types of diving such as drift dives, wreck diving, etc. The entire crew of the MQ1 and also the instructors are doing a great job. They are approachable at any time (day and night) and for almost any question and have a good conversation for their customers. Professionally absolutely TOP and very well organized, I felt very comfortable and safe under the guidance of Marja. The instructors are very well rehearsed with the boat crew, have a well-communicated schedule for everything and have everything firmly under control from registration to the last hug. The boatboys are very on their toes and always help with putting on and taking off the equipment.
