New Daranee Itinerary for 2011/12 Season (Similan or Surin)

MV Daranee Simila/Surin liveaboard

The vast majority of Thai liveaboards run 4 day 4 night itineraries. These trips dive mostly around the Similan Islands but also include a few dives at Richelieu Rock (best chance to see whalesharks) and Koh Bon and Koh Tachai (best dive sites for Manta Rays).

For the coming season MV Daranee has decided to try something new. From November to May you can choose to dive either:

3 days 2 nights (9 dives) in just the Similan Islands
or
4 days 3 nights (13 dives) in Surin Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock.

The 2 night Similans only cruise will suit divers on a budget and short of time.

The 3 night Surin trip is is great if you just want to focus on seeing bigger stuff or if you've dived the Similans before. Not many boats really dive Surin, it is much less visited than the Similans.

Also, a special offer. If you book the Similan and the Surin trip you can have one night free accommodation between the trips in their Patong hotel.

Details of the Daranee schedule, itinerary and prices are here.

It's nice to see a boat operator trying something new and we think divers are going to like the new format. Daranee has always been a favourite of ours in the budget category.
