Great people, great diving

This was my first liveaboard and I had such a great experience. My dive guide Elsa was great at leading the dives. The chef, who let me call her mama, made sure we were well fed and really did make the best food. I have nothing but positives to say about the experience and I’m excited to dive with them the next time I’m in town. I did also book the liveaboard 2 days before so if you’re looking for a liveaboard that can accommodate you on short notice, this would be the one!

Best dive crew, food and service we have ever experienced!

We had an incredible time! The chef and her assistant were AMAZING!!! The food is some of the most delicious Thai food I’ve ever had. How she can prepare it so well for all different dietary requirements all in the small kitchen on a wavy moving boat 6 times a day is beyond me! After each dive she has a delicious meal or snack prepared and ready to feast on! I want to come back and just do a cooking class with her! She is incredible, you will not go hungry! The dive staff captain, engineer and boat boys are so helpful from the start to finish helping get your dive gear ready and on you and then pulling you out of the water and helping you get it all off they are SO GREAT! Our dive guide was Tommy we LOVED HIM! He was so nice helped us see so many beautiful different things and took incredible pictures and sent them to us at the end of the trip! I hope we can dive with him again next time! Overall we loved this trip and would definitely go on Manta Queen 2 again next time! Thank you for making it such a memorable experience!

Manta Queen 2 is the best!

Esteban was an excellent trip leader, and he was always entertaining. Our personal dive master Christian was patient, explained things thoroughly, and his laugh was contagious. We loved the whole crew, this was certainly an experience of a lifetime!

Exceeded expectations

This was our first liveaboard experience. We didn't know what to expect other than what we read in other people's reviews and we have to say it was great! The instructors were experienced, professional and just wonderful people, the crew were amazing AND we got lucky with the weather and all the other travelers on the boat. I think this trip might be the reason we now have to go diving all the time.

Good value, friendly crew, adequate boat.

Though we didn't see too much out of the ordinary (no manta, no whale sharks) there is a lot to see and the visibility was generally quite good. The boat was a tight squeeze with the only common areas being the eating area which is packed tight at meals and the sun deck on top which was less crowded but pretty rudimentary. The boat is not that comfortable but for the money it is a good deal. Not able to go to Richelieu Rock because of sea conditions, but that gave us a nice beach stop and a night dive. Thai crew was great, dive crew was relaxed and friendly. If you want a luxury boat experience this is not it, but if you want a good value live aboard experience for 3 days, it was great.

Great trip in the Similan islands!

Great team on the boat. The food was excellent (thank you Chef!). The boat director, Woody, is full of energy, passionate and very knowledgeable about the dive sites. He and the rest of the divemasters have been great guides underwater.

The staff was amazing, the chef, the captain, the boat boss, the divemasters and the entire crew. Nice sunbathing area at the top. Common places on the boat were convenient.
