Route Description - Dolphin Queen 3 Days /3 Nights Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai & Richelieu Rock
A Warm Welcome to the Similan Liveaboard
Guests joining the Similan liveaboard are advised to arrive at the PADI 5-Star Dive Center in Khao Lak by 2:00 PM on the day of departure to complete equipment checks, settle any remaining balance, and, if necessary, arrange online dive insurance through DAN. At 4:00 PM, a minibus transfers guests from Similan Diving Safaris to Thap Lamu Pier, approximately 14 kilometers away.
Upon arrival at the pier around 4:30 PM, guests board the Dolphin Queen, where they are introduced to the dive staff and boat crew. After being shown to their cabins, a full briefing is provided covering the vessel’s operations, safety procedures, and liveaboard rules.
Before dinner, divers have the opportunity to assemble and inspect their gear with their Similan dive guide in preparation for the next morning’s dive. The Dolphin Queen sets sail at around 6:30 PM, cruising overnight under the stars and arriving at the Similan Islands by midnight. Traveling by night ensures guests are well-rested and ready for an exciting day of diving in the morning.
