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.

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?

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

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!

Cruise to be done again with pleasure
A great stay with dive sites full of life and very healthy corals. The concept of sleeping all together on deck selects, I think, the divers and it was a pleasure to meet the other travelers. Even though there is no individual cabin, the boat is well designed and the small number of participants makes everyone feel good. The supervision and accompaniment by Harold (French in Indonesia for 7 years) on the boat and in diving was really a pleasure. The only downside is the language barrier with some members of the team at the club before starting the cruise to prepare the equipment. Hardware that is in a decent condition. If necessary during the cruise, the crew manages repairs/replacements very well.
- Recommended for
- Unforgettable dives. Friendliness and the state of mind of the co-divers on the boat with the shared upper deck. Accompaniment by Harold.
