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.

Most amazing liveboard!
We had the most amazing liveaboard on the Ikan Biru!The crew was amazing. Josh made us fresh en delicious food en snack everyday. De crew was very friendly and wanted to help us with everything. The instructors (shout-out to Joe and Harold!_ made sure we were well prepared before every dive. The dive sites were stunning and they even took us to see the Komodo Dragons in the National Park. I also dit the Advanced Open Water Course on board, which was done very throughly, but in a fun way. Everyone on the boat wanted to stay and/or would come back whenever we can

Go, if you have the chance! Great experiance!
I had a great time in Ikan Biru! The food is really good. The staff is also very caring. After every dive they serve tea or coffee and either a meal or a fresh baked snack (brownies etc.)! The dive guides are very kind and they do a very good dive briefing before every dive. Sleeping on the deck is very comfortable. We saw all kinds of fish, sharks, octopus, turtles, mantra rays and even dolphins swimming next to our boat. Very much recommend this trip

Unforgettable liveaboard – perfect pairing of boat, crew and diving adventures
The liveaboard was an all-round unforgettable experience that went far beyond just diving. Even on board, it felt like a floating home – with a crew that looked after us at all times and a kitchen that spoiled us with incredibly delicious food.Real highlights awaited under water: the exciting drift diving in the Cauldron, a spectacular night dive with fascinating encounters in the dark, as well as varied spots that could be explored safely and impressively thanks to the expertise of the guides.There were also unforgettable moments on deck + the magical sundowner on Gili Lawa, where the group ended the day in a harmonious atmosphere. In general, the super matching group made the trip something very special - laughing, diving and marveling together rounded off the experience perfectly.

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

Will book this one again in a few years
For me this was a family style, diving punk pirate experience. You get the real stuff for an affordable price, and they know how to plan their dive schedule so you get the most of it. If I can book it again in a couple years, I will.

A must-do diving trip!
Our 4 day liveaboard adventure on the Ikan Biru was wonderful. The diving was world-class: we saw so many turtles, many mantas, improved our diving with strong currents, night diving and were even able to choose one of our final dive sites, whether we wanted to repeat one we already did, or explore somewhere new. All the staff, from dive and boat crew, were very friendly and extremely accommodating. We felt very looked after every part of the trip, and very much felt in safe hands throughout.
