The 27-meter/88-feet-long Manta Queen 1 Liveaboard offers 5-night trips to the amazing areas of the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, and Richelieu Rock for divers and snorkelers between October and May each year. With 2 double-bed ensuite cabins, 6 twin bunk ensuite cabins, and 2 twin cabins (not ensuite), Manta Queen 1 caters to up to 20 guests onboard. Each cabin has full air conditioning and comfortable beds. Having recently renovated, the Manta Queen 1 offers en-suite cabins for added guest comfort. For relaxation, guests can choose the air-conditioned indoor saloon with a flat-screen TV and entertainment area or the sun deck with mattresses on the top deck. All meals are served buffet-style and are freshly prepared by the onboard chef. A variety of snacks and fresh fruits are available in-between dives.
Diving is offered to world-class dive sites, and the experienced dive team of 5 who speak various languages is on hand to help you get the most out of your 5-night trip. Dive or snorkel with Whale Sharks in Richelieu Rock, swim through huge schools of fish at the Boonsung Wreck and watch for Reef Sharks at Elephant Head Rock. In between dives, take the tender over to the beautiful white-sand beaches of the Similan Islands and enjoy the turquoise waters.
The Manta Queen 1 liveaboard is a firm favorite for returning guests. Book online today to reserve your space.
