Great dive safari
August 20-29, 2026, Halmahera I want to thank cruise leader Frank and the entire Ambai crew for a wonderful diving and holydays. Frank did a great job with perfect and smooth organization of all processes on the boat. Everything was perfectly orchestrated, starting from welcome emails to airport transfers. A great attention was paid to the guests' needs and wishes relating their interests in the underwater world, food preferences, etc. We’ve got a sufficient number of dive-guides with small groups and flexibility for divers of varying experience levels. The cabins were very clean, comfortable, with plenty of space and hot water. The crew was always welcoming and helpful. They are wonderful singers! Very musical team! Starlink was available all the time. The region near Halmahera has very interesting dive sites with preserved coral reefs.

Excellent Liveaboard !!!
Definitely worth taking the big tour going to Misool and Raja Ampat north.Shadow Reef is a must !!! Lots of variety in the diving sites. Excellent staff and good guides. Ambai is a nice boat, very well rigged for diving and comfort. Diving deck (in the shade) and 2 relaxing decks with sofas and bean bags. Very good food as well, and in quantity. Thanks to Akim, the competent cruise director, the atmosphere is relaxed, yet very rigorous in safety and very efficient in the way diving is organized. On our trip, the majority of the customers were French. Thanks to Liveaboard as well, who traded this trip for us very professionally.

Excellent, didn't want to leave and return home.
Seeing orcas and the captain moving the boat closer for everyone to have an upclose experience. Seeing the wide range of marine life from macro to mantas. Just loved the trip.

Wonderful diving. Best crew ever.
Nice ship, very clean and confortable. Everything was perfectly organized. Marco (the dive cruise director) and all the crew were awesome, working hard 24/7 just to keep us happy and very friendly with us. Very good dives, beautiful coral gardens. Crew always keeping an eye on you, everything was always rechecked and seems to feel more safe. Food was nice. I would book again with Ambai for sure.

AMAZING!
The diving is amazing, the visit to the cave and the Wayag humbeling, the space of the cabin and common areas luxurious, but most of all the hospitality of Jerome and the crew is unforgettable!

Great vessel & crew to support an incredible experience
The Ambai was perfect for 11 nights around Raja Ampat. Comfortable boat, spacious enough with great area for lounging in the sun. Decent healthy food, awesome friendly crew. Honestly I'm sure you could pay way more for some extra little luxuries but I found the Ambai delivered on expectations and I didn't want for anything, except maybe to upgrade the choice of whisky on offer (recommend JW Black Label or something.) Compared to the other options I feel like this was good value for money and a wonderful experience.

The Ambai really took good care of their guests & really made it a memorable trip to RJ.
Diving in Raja Ampat (of course!), hiking to some look out points and the beautiful beach BBQ the crew prepared for New Year.

Probably the best diving overall in my 30 years of diving.
Diving in a huge ball of fish as Mobula Rays darted in and out feeding. The incredibly beautiful soft corals. The sheer volume of marine life.
