The Ikan Biru can house up to 8 guests. The boat has two guest bathrooms with hot freshwater showers below deck. The onboard chef serves freshly baked bread every morning, which he makes in the fully stocked kitchen. Upon request, the Ikan Biru can cater to specific dietary requests. The spacious upper deck is the perfect place to relax between dives in the daytime. In the evening, it is set up as a comfortable dining area. At night, the comfortable mattresses and bedding make it the perfect spot for guests to keep cool while sleeping under the stars, dreaming of all the incredible wildlife they’ve seen.
Thanks to its one-of-a-kind “hop-on, hop-off” concept, you can board the Ikan Biru for 3-12 nights, allowing you to explore the region as you see fit. Two dayboats are ready to take you to land when you wish to disembark. The Ikan Biru only accepts Advanced Open Water divers, or you can get your AOW certification and other diving courses on board.

Best days ever! Must do!
Our stay on Ikan Biru was some of the best things we have ever experienced! We loved every second of it. From how extremely well looked after we got from the whole crew to the amazing dives we were able to experience with our guides! We absolutely loved how the boat offered everything we needed and still we lived a very simple, slowing down life. It was the perfect start to our honeymoon. We have been relaxed ever since we set foot on our beloved boat and wish for everybody to experience it themself!

Great liveaboard!
We had a wonderful time on this liveaboard. The dive suites were comfortable and well-equipped, and the guides provided clear briefings that made us feel confident in the water. The boat itself was more spacious than we expected, and overall it was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Great dives with all-round service on a beautiful boat!
When you book this boat, it is clear that you have no privacy. But within the scope of the possibilities, they got the best out of it.You sleep really comfortably and well. The whole safari, from service on board to the dives, is super well organized. The two guides Harold and Tom were great, very professional. The service was great, the crew took care of us all and read every wish from the lips. The food was also really delicious and varied. We did really great dives and saw so many manta rays, turtles and sharks. Unique! I highly recommend this trip!

Expect to have the time of your life on this liveaboard
An unforgettable experience which I would do again in a heartbeat. Don't be put off by the common sleeping quarters. The upper deck has more than ample space for the number of guests onboard. When they set up the mattresses and bedding at night, I guarantee that you will have as good a quality of sleep, if not better, than if you were sleeping inside a cabin. You will be well fed (if not overfed). The ship crew, consisting of a cook, his assistant, a boat engineer/carpenter, a master of navigation, a tender boat operator and a bosun, are all cool people and do their utmost to give you the best experience possible. As for the main reason for going on a liveaboard, the diving is some of the most spectacular you will ever do. Ikan Biru will cover all of the top dive sites in the national park's north and central regions over the 4 days. The dive guides are open to specific requests if within their means...while it wasn't on the original trip plan, I made the request at the beginning of the tour to dive at Tatawa Kecil and the request was granted the following day. An entertaining dynamic between the duo of French and British dive guides, but clearly a good working partnership between two people who take their jobs seriously. Their in-depth knowledge of the local tidal conditions means you will reach dive sites at the best times and when sea conditions are most favourable, and in most cases when nobody else is there! One of the trip's memorable moments came while filling in my logbook in the kitchen quarters at night, listening to the two guides seated next to me planning the itinerary for the following day, and hearing them discuss tides and currents as if it were science.

An breathtaking experience on board Ikan Biru! You won't regret the trip!
I had a truly awesome time on the Ilan Biru liveaboard. Our dive instructors (Harold and Joe were amazing! The diving itself was incredible, we saw manta rays, tons of sharks, eels, turtles, mantis shrimp and plenty of other cool stuff. The boat itself is cosy by very comfortable and the food was amazing. The cost of the boat was very good value for what we received

Experience Incroyable
The organization (of the equipment in Labuan Bajo on our return) is well established. We found the crew very professional and very smiling. We are delighted with the services offered on the boat. The food is excellent, varied. The dive instructors (Sigfrid and Joe) are very professional and the sites chosen are exceptional. Overall, we are very happy with our stay on Ikan Biru.

The only way to experience Komodo
You get a big variety of dives - drift, strong current, chill reef dives, divers marine life, and night dives. You will never be hungry and the food is awesome. The staff (guides and crew on board) were top class. Sleeping on the deck was refreshing and really nice. Would definitely do it again.

Trip of a lifetime!
Wow what an incredible trip!!! Where do I begin?! Harold and Joe were incredible dive guides, Harold has a keen eye for finding sea life and Joe is the master of finding mantas! The boat crew were attentive and made sure we had a good experience. The food was exceptional! The chef must be one of the best, I promise you will not go hungry! The variety of dive sites and marine life was some of the best I’ve seen. Can’t recommend Ikan Biru highly enough, thank you for a wonderful experience!
