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.

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.

Highlight of our trip!
I would recommend this trip to anybody! We went for 4 days during our honeymoon and it was easily the highlight of our whole trip! We did some of the best diving of my life, met incredible people, and lived on a pirate ship. I don’t know what else you could ask for. The diving was absolutely stunning, and the dive master elevated the experience by showing us all the cool spots and helped improve our skills as divers with little experience. The first few dives were very easy going, and then got progressively more thrilling, capping it off with “The Cauldron” where we go to glide through a beautiful array of fish and coral like a roller coaster.

The best thing I've ever done, don't waste money on a boat twice as expensive
The crew are amazing, so helpful, brilliant cook and good coffee. Our guides were so knowledgeable and able to cater to everyone's ability and deliver the best diving I've ever experienced. If your apprehensive about the sleeping on deck don't be it's such a good vibe, (it rained and was fine) we had people from 20-60+ all enjoyed every moment. Wake up and watch dolphins passing by with your coffee dive one of the best sites in your life before breakfast. Eat amazing food and dive some more .Then swim under the milky way with bioluminescence all around you. What more do you want?

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.

Magical experience, friendly staff, knowledgeable guides, and great value.
All the colour and diversity of the corals and fish and other animals on the reefs. Turtles and mantas!! And just the beautiful landscape of the islands all around is breathtaking!!

- The dive guides take you to amazing sites and spot so many things to see that I would have missed. The staff take care of everything, the gear, the food, setting up beds. Sleeping on the top deck is an added bonus, very comfortable space with the stars above (there is a roof, don't worry), and sea breeze, while nice and cosy in bed, and because there is no need for air conditioned cabin, the engine can turn off at night so you can listen to the water.

SPECTACULAR
We had the most amazing time aboard the Ikan Biru!!! The dives were breathtaking, with a perfect mix of relaxing and adventurous dives, we were given star treatment the whole time. Josh made sure we were never hungry with endless mouth watering food after every single dive! Everything was clean, we didn’t even have to lift a finger. And hot water showers made us feel like we were living in true luxury! Massive thank you to our fabulous guide Pau who had a great eye for macro, and so much knowledge on marine life! Also Chris our cruise director that knew Komodo like the back of his hand! All the staff kept the trip fun, safe and unforgettable and we will definitely be back!
