Our liveaboard trip with MV.Dolphin Queen was absolutely amazing! From the stunning dive sites to the exceptional crew, everything exceeded our expectations. The schedule was perfect, Each day brought us to breathtaking dive sites filled with vibrant marine life, from colorful coral gardens to thrilling encounters with magnificent marine life.. The crew went above and beyond to make the experience seamless, providing delicious meals, helpful diving tips, perfect guiding and warm hospitality. We loved waking up to the sound of the ocean, with the dive masters 'Briefing Timee!!' announcements :) Special thanks to Joe & Joy for their grat hospitality that felt us as we were home.. To the dive masters, Etienne for his patience during our dives, to Luiz, Pia & Jack for the detailed and enjoyable briefs and informations supplied about the marine life. The captain and the crew made our vacation remarkable with the sail, with the foods and snacks.. And Dolphin Queen.. she is just a perfect boat for diving.. Thank you all that made the experience even more special... Felt like a perfect vacation with the family.. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and exploration—highly recommended for anyone passionate about diving! 👌 Can't wait to meet again, for the next diving trip..

A great liveaboard experience at a fantastic price. Super friendly divemasters and crew going above and beyond to help, great food, small dive groups and some epic manta sightings :) I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!
