It was such an amazing trip with an amazing crew, really nice people on the boat and a brilliant atmosphere. Top dive guides, live up to all your demands (finding the smallest stuff haha), very good food (especially the cheese, crackers + olives) and just all in all - I had a blast. So much that I went on another... More

Went on the liveaboard with the plan to both get our open water qualification but I sadly got a cold and congestion but still went along for the 4 nights and just snorkelled. Amazing, friendly, helpful crew. Food was incredible. The snorkelling was really impressive. I would without a doubt go back to do my Open Water at some point.... More

It was pretty overwhelming trying to choose a live-aboard for the Similan Islands. We started out in Phuket and almost booked one from there, went to Phi Phi and then found some really cheap ones there, and then read about Similan Diving Safaris out of Khao Lak in our Lonely Planet. It was tempting to choose a more affordable company... More

This trip was without a doubt my best ever dive adventure. I couldn't have asked for a more helpful and friendly staff, or a more experienced one. The crew took care of everything and did so in a clean and efficient manner. They provided everything we needed and more. There was never a time when I was unable to eat... More

4 days Safari in Similan Islands was nice, The food was good, also made vegeterian food, the Thai workers were warm. Some bad points: * The coral is dead, this is true for 2011-2012, and it is like that since 2009 that the water temperature went up to 35 deg, and killed all Andaman sea reef. Better go dovong in...

We truly enjoyed our family holidays on board the Dolphin Queen, with Similan Diving Safaris. The boat is not something you would call a luxury yacht, but compared to our previous experiences at Similan, the personnel, atmosphere and general feeling was very cosy and enjoyable. The diving staff was professional, and the boat crew very helpful. Special thanks for the... More

My husband and I both have our AOW and were looking to log some serious dive time on our honeymoon. We were expecting some pretty awesome diving, which we got but what we weren't expecting was the amazing service from the staff. We were blown away by the staff at SDS. From the time you wake up at 6am, till... More
