Budget liveaboard reviews

Reviews of Dolphin Queen and Similan Explorer liveaboards

Here is some feedback from November on two of our most popular lower budget Similan Islands liveaboards departing from Khao Lak.

This feedback from Anna is for the Dolphin Queen liveaboard, Anna was on the boat in November 2015:

“It was awesome. On the second dive we literally jumped on a whale shark at Richelieu Rock 🙂

The trip was really well organized, good equipment and the staff professional. The boat was also nice even though not as spacious as Oktavia. Also the food was a bit better on the Oktavia but still good and they also catered for the vegetarians. I would definitely go with them again. I’ll send you some pictures when I’m back in Chiang Mai.”

This feedback is from Ben who was on Similan Explorer in November 2015:

“We really enjoyed the trip. Having not done anything like it before I was impressed with how smoothly it ran and how easy and helpful everyone was. The diving was great and I thought the trips to the islands worked well.
