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. While aboard the Ikan Biru, you can dive three times a day, sometimes more. This lets you visit the best sites, such as Manta Point and The Cauldron.

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

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

Honestly, it was one of the most incredible trips I've ever done in my life. Harold (diving instructor) was fantastic, the crew worked so hard to ensure our trip was smooth, and the views were breathtaking. Diving on this trip is hard, so keep that in mind, but if you are up for the challenge, it is WELL worth it. I will definitely be coming back! 100/10.

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.

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!

Awesome crew, unbelievable dives, dream come true
Diving in Komodo National Park has been one of my bucket list dive locations ever since I got certified 3 years ago. 140 dives later I was able to check this one off the list and boy it did not disappoint! The boat is a very simple but typical boat for the region. The upper deck lounge area was transformed into the sleeping area at night, which was an amazing experience to sleep out underneath the stars in the open sea. All of the dives sites were incredible! Healthy reefs, full of color, diversity and amazing fish life. The highlight for all of us was surely the Manta sighting, specifically being able to watch one get cleaned for over 10 minutes. Gracefully hovering over the cleaning station and tolerating our presence just a few meters away. The crew was absolutely amazing. They ensured we were always feed throughout the day with freshly cook meals 3 times per day with different snacks in between. The divemasters were true professionals as well. Passionate about their job and their love for diving could not be missed. I am so thankful for everyone involved and am happy to say that I have made so great friends in this trip. Thank you Blue Marlin Komodo!
