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.

Best dive trip ever
This is a great crew and really fun boat. The sleeping up on the top deck in the open air is so nice and peaceful, and not stuffy like inside a cabin. The food was spectacular every day, you will not be hungry. And the diving is some of the best I’ve ever done in my life. Incredible, healthy, diverse, and dense reefs with soooo much life. I would love to come back on the boat. One of the best things was AK, the dive supervisor, guide, and leader on the boat. She is an amazing person and made the trip even better. Highly recommend Ikan Biru!

Pure happiness on the boat, big thanks to Aplonia, Afhen and the rest of the crew!
I loved our crew, they took such good care of us and made the perfect team. Komodo national park is stunning, so beautiful. The activities were perfectly balanced, active but also time to chill and enjoy. Such a great atmosphere on the boat, I loved every second of it.

Better diving in Komodo doesn't get better than this
The staff was super friendly, the dive sites were great, you can meet new people super easily. Sleeping on the deck is perfect, because a fresh wind cools down nicely.Overall, highly recommended🤙

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

Best dive experience for solo travelers
This was a fantastic trip and much more enjoyable than the giant lives boards. This is great for solo travelers that don’t need their own room. The food was a nice blend of Indonesia and Western food with a lot of fresh fruit, meat options, and vegetarian options. The dive guides are locals and super friendly and enjoyable as guides and a boat guests. Everyone does a really good job of making your life super easy. Oh, and the dive locations are world class

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.

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 option when you're on a budget
I had an absolutely amazing experience on Ikan Biru. All the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The boat is a basic budget option, nothing fancy, but it was still a totally nice ship, well maintained and comfy. Of course you don't get a/c and much privacy, but it's not geared towards that crowd. We had plenty of space on the ship, the food was great and the diving was a lot of fun. I just wished that our DM pointed out a little more stuff, especially of the smaller kind. I'm able to see the sharks, rays and turtles myself, but I don't know where all the macro is, if I'm not familiar with the dive sites. Other than that it was a perfect trip. I can totally recommend to book with these guys!
