Deluxe cabins and standards can suit either for double occupancy or for twin share. The boat can offer great relaxation zones on the top deck with shaded area and hammocks and outdoor salon with a big sofa.

Great boatVerified review
My cabin was on the top of the boat, so I had a bit of a hard time sleeping. But they helped me out with it as best they could. The boat spoils you with all the food, and there's 4 dives a day including some night diving which I love. Facilities are sufficient, water is hot and the water entry is seamless. Staff is very friendly and will try to accomadate you. Great boat, highly recommend.

AwesomeVerified review
Another great dive expedition with the smiling Seahorse! Everything about the trip was awesome: great diving, amazing staff, superb food and a family atmosphere unmatched by any other boat. There are other boats and tours available but I can't imagine any of them are as good as The Smiling Seahorse
