I got every cent worth of value for my money and I highly recommend this boat for experienced divers and underwater photographers.
The experience was top class. The boat was well maintained and the staff were attentive. The diving met and surpassed expectations. The food was, as always, in abundance, and very good, no matter your dietary requirements. Nothing negative to say.

A deeply impressive experience of what is without a doubt one of the best dive sites in the world
The cruise director Clement is an extremely experienced dive guide and has a lot of knowledge about marine life. The crew was fantastic with their service, help and additional comforts including massages and delicious food. The selection of dive sites is the best a diver can dream of and the journey along the islands is simply wonderful.

A fantastic and unforgettable experience
My experience aboard the Ilike liveaboard was simply spectacular. From the first moment, everything was perfectly organized and there was a close and professional atmosphere that made the trip even more special.The crew is exceptional: attentive, friendly and always with a smile. You can see the passion they have for what they do and the care with which they treat divers, both in and out of the water. Always ready to help, answer any questions and make sure every dive was safe and memorable.The food was another great highlight. Varied, hearty and delicious, with options for all tastes. After each dive, it was a real treat to get back on the boat and enjoy well-prepared dishes, snacks and drinks that made you feel at home.And of course, the dives were amazing. Well-selected dive sites, clear and detailed briefings, and a perfect rhythm that allowed you to enjoy each dive to the fullest. Spectacular marine life, excellent conditions and the peace of mind of knowing that you are in the hands of a very experienced team.In short, the IlIike is not just a liveaboard, it is a complete experience: world-class diving, a wonderful crew, excellent food and memories that stay forever. I would definitely repeat and recommend it 100% to any diving lover.

Memorable trip on Ilike
I had an excellent trip on Ilike. Love all the staff who helped out with cleaning our gear after dives and handing them out before each dive. Excellent service. Food was so great that it’s hard not to gain weight. Choices of dive sites were lovely too. We managed to see a whole lot of animals.

The most amazing trip of a lifetime
I cannot say enough about the crew and the adventure. Everything was carefully choreographed to ensure that you had the best experience. The crew went to great lengths to ensure that we were able to enjoy diving and I felt absolutely loved and cared for. It was an experience I’ve not had on any other live aboard and I’ve done many. Everything you needed was at your fingertips and everyone treated you as though you were the most special passenger. I was a solo traveler, but felt right at home. I was nervous to drive as I hadn’t been diving for a long time. Guides and the dive briefings were fabulous. Everyone was there to make sure I was safe and had an experience of a lifetime. I laughed so much. It was as though we were on a luxury boat without the cost. Everything you needed was done for you. You just had to breathe and jump into the water. If you want to experience the real treasures of Raja Ampat - this ship and its crew are for you. I will go again with this company - something I’ve never done before, because the experience was so profound.

The diving sites were amazing with healthy reefs and diverse marine lives from Pigmy Seahorse to Manta Ray. The crew members made sure that the current was not too strong (but it's Komodo) and cheerfully greeted divers after each dive.

Amazing experience overall.
This was no doubt one of the best diving trips I have done. Yes the dive sites were amazing, but the positive experience would not have happened if not facilitated by the Ilike boat crew. They all worked well as a team; They have a system that worked well, everyone remembered which equipments were whose etc - they were all ready for each dive. A big shout out to Cruise Director Eduard who led the team by example. He was very knowledgable and adjusted the itinerary to maximise our diving experience. Overall, a very memorable experience. Thank you!

Can't wait to go back on the Ilike!
The 30 mantas at Manta Alley, the frogfish and its little eyes, the splendor of the sites each having something special to discover, the evenings watching the shooting stars on deck, the precise and fun briefings at the same time, the hoohoos of the crew when we came back from diving, the beauty of the Ilike with all sails out, the care with which each member of the crew does their job, starting with the Liveboard director, David, who creates an atmosphere that is both warm and professional. In short, it was 12 days of joy and magnificent dives

A trip I will never forget in my life
As a guest who used to work on a liveaboard before. I have to say Ilike has done a very good job. Although there were some unexpected things happened during the trip, the cruise director handled it very well. If you travel on a liveaboard, it is important to be flexible and just enjoy every moment you have on the boat. I had a wonderful time with the crew members and guests on the boat. It will always be a beautiful memory in my heart. Thank you to all the crew members who made this trip happen.
