Great liveaboard
The liveaboard with the Manta Queen 1 was an unforgettable experience! The route through the northern Andaman Islands – Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock and the Boon Sung Wreck – offers some of the best diving in Thailand. Richelieu Rock in particular impressed with its biodiversity. The crew was consistently friendly, helpful and well organized – you felt in good hands at all times. A real highlight was the food on board: It is hard to believe how such incredibly delicious and varied dishes were conjured up every day in such a small galley.All in all, an absolutely recommendable safari for all diving enthusiasts!

Fantastic value for money with spectacular diving, I highly recommend Manta Queen liveaboards.
The diving is spectacular, particularly Richelieu Rock & Koh Bon. The days are well structured so you can just enjoy the dives, eat well as soon as you are back on the boat, and then relax before the next dive. The food is excellent with lots of choices to cater for all tastes. Snacks and drinks are available all day which is convenient. The boat is very comfortable - cabins are well air conditioned when you need a break from the sunshine. The boat crew are extremely helpful and friendly and made us all feel very welcome. The dive instructors shared many interesting details about the dive sites and what to look for on the reef. I learnt a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Great experience!!
I felt well taken care of all around. The whole team was just great!! Everything was taken from you. Unfortunately, it had rained all week with a lot of wind and high waves. However, the dive sites were chosen in such a way that we had very nice dives. The atmosphere was also very good. The abundance of fish was enormous. Tic - our dive guide - gave the impression that he even knows where individual sea creatures are;-). Thanks again to Peter, Monja, Etienne, Naidoo, the kitchen girls, the extraordinary boys and especially Tic. Thank you, you did a great job!!

Safe and warm
The underwater adventure is amazing, corals are in good condition, often spot colorful soft corals, sponges and gorgonian fans. We are lucky to spot different sharks and the dive guides have a good knowledge in explaining the diverse marine lives we come across. The crew is passionate and cheerful, attentive to guests' needs and will take extra effort to make the trip memorable.
