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?

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

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.

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!

Experience Incroyable
The organization (of the equipment in Labuan Bajo on our return) is well established. We found the crew very professional and very smiling. We are delighted with the services offered on the boat. The food is excellent, varied. The dive instructors (Sigfrid and Joe) are very professional and the sites chosen are exceptional. Overall, we are very happy with our stay on Ikan Biru.

Incredible experience for my first liveaboard!
This was my first liveaboard experience and it was incredible! The boat, crew, dive guides, guests, and food all made this a truly memorable and wonderful experience. I would happily do a longer liveaboard with Blue Marlin around Komodo again, the dive sites and whole vibe of the boat, crew, and guests was perfect.
