Amazing trip
The crew systematically goes the extra mile to offer a service that is above what other liveaboards offers. The director and dive masters are very knowledgeable about local dive sites and are able to guide us to amazing sites while avoiding the crowd and adapting to the weather. Also special mention to the chef as the food was great the whole week, everything homemade on board.

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.

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

Supreme crew members made our Komodo trip safe and special
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.

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.

Great boat, Great diving
My 2nd cruise in Raja Ampat. Glad to see some of the dive sites are still supreme! Ilike is overall a very good boat. The price is not cheap for us but considering the number of dives, it's actually good value. Cabin are communal areas are comfortable, although hygiene department is a bit of a let down. I love the Indonesian crew. But the boat is clearly more catered towards European guests, and has a healthy dose of sophistication. Although I cannot say I love this vibe, but at least I understand this is the mater of personal taste. The cruise directors and two out of three divemasters are European, they did a fantastic job in organizing everything from divings, activities to other daily matters.
