Peter Pan liveaboard reviews
Reviews for Peter Pan liveaboard on Trip advisor
Some older reviews from our guests:
To me almost everything about the trip was good. The crew are friendly enough. Food is delicious. Diving was great. We saw a whale shark and a manta ray. How lucky. Boat in general is ok except that the air conditioning to the rooms need improvement/major servicing. Room 203 did not have functioning air conditioning at all. Most of the cabins on the dive deck have problems including the VIP room that I had. A few of us including myself had to sleep in the lounge for the entire trip. Thank goodness for the comfy lounge. And sometimes the air-cond. to the cabins will be turned off at mid-day which means no napping in the cabins and most of us find it quite annoying. When we ask the crew to turn it on again it will take a long time to cool down the cabin especially my room which is the largest one.
Besides the air-conditioning there is really nothing much wrong with MV Peter Pan. San, Mar 2014
I had a good trip on Peter Pan – really enjoyed the diving in the Similans. The boat was comfortable and the crew were very friendly and helpful. They had a decent selection of movies which we watched at night or between dives. The equipment was fine and they had spares so it was easy for me to switch to a smaller wetsuit. Personally, Richelieu Rock was one of my favourite dives – it was pretty amazing to watch thousands of fish swimming by during the sunset dive, and the macro there was nice too. Thanks for helping with the arrangements! Lorraine, Jan 14
Hey Paul, Our trip on the Peter Pan liveaboard was awesome! We had a really amazing adventure, doubled the amount of dives we had done and got way more comfortable diving. I loved Sandra, who was our dive master. I just hope her ear is ok. Rut and all of the entire staff on the boat were just wonderfully fun and professional.
I absolutely will recommend Peter Pan to anyone I talk to and maybe we will do the South trip one day. We saw some great stuff. The most fish I have ever seen in my life. Not much on the big side, but that’s ok. Thanks again for being in quick contact with me every time I emailed you. I have no complaints. And the cook on board was also incredible. Not only did he serve delicious food every day, he was extremely accommodating to my girlfriend’s dietary restrictions at every meal. He always made something special just for her. Thanks again! Courtney, Jan 2013
Hi Paul, Trip was great. Crew was good also. Chris and I ended up doing our Advanced course also so saw a lot and did a lot! Instructor Wendy was awesome and Coen ran a great operation. Thanks for all your help with arranging stuff and accommodating dive course. We will recommend you to other travelers planning trips. Cheers, Ailsa and Chris Dec 2013
