an unforgettable experience I will definitely repeat in the future
The incredibly friendly, funny and routined crew on board made our life on the Junk as easy and comfortable as possible and supported us any time with everything they could do to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Rental equipment on board was good, crew members can handle any required maintenance or adaptation, if required, very well. Diving sites, dive group sizes and dive guides were very experienced and made every dive into another interesting discovery tour. Living on The Junk for this one week was an unforgettable experience. The sleeping cabin was very nice, clean and comfy. Best of all: the incredibly delicious food on board that was freshly cooked and differed every day. Also for vegan and vegetarian guests the selection of meals was excellent.

Great time on the Junk Liveaboard
Great Liveaboard on the Junk. The boat is amazing and the staff also. The diving was well planned. The best thing i think was the food. Congrats to the Cook Lady because her food was Michelin Star quality. I had a great time.

Absolutely perfect
It was a perfect vacation. The cabins are comfortable, the boat was beautiful, the food was authentic and delicious. It was the crew that made the experience perfect. Everyone was kind, professional, enthusiastic. You can tell they enjoy and take pride in their work. They want to share these dive sites and make the trip a positive and enjoyable one. No amount of atmosphere can make up for what a dedicated and invested staff brings to the experience and they are what made my vacation so wonderful. I am so very grateful for them

A wonderful dive trip on The Junk
The Junk is a beautiful old ship with a very special charm – we felt comfortable from the very first moment. The crew was simply amazing and spoiled us in every possible way: always friendly, attentive, and perfectly organized. The dives were a real highlight, especially thanks to Kwan as our guide. With him, we felt safe at all times, and he showed us so many incredible things – you can immediately tell how experienced and dedicated he is. The food was absolutely delicious and varied – a real treat after the dives! The cabins are small, but perfectly adequate. We stayed in a four-berth cabin, although two of us usually slept outside, which was much nicer. We also really enjoyed the two excursions, especially the visit to the Moken Village, which was something truly special. All in all, a fantastic experience that we would repeat anytime. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special liveaboard trip with a great crew, amazing dives, and delicious food! 🌊🤿🚤 If you want, I can also tweak the tone a bit (shorter, more “TripAdvisor style,” or more polished).
