An amazing week on Ilike!
It was a great trip, the diving conditions were not perfect for Raja Almost, but we still saw a lot, and the cruise director did her best to select dive spots where we would see the most different life. The staff were all super helpful, friendly, and great fun, which really added to the experience. The rental gear was good, and the boat was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The food was fantastic and varied, the sit down three course meal for dinner was a nice bit of luxury! The two land excursions were also fun.

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.

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.

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 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.

The dive guides and ships crew were excellent! Their service and hard work made the trip exceptional. The weak spot was the chef: either chicken or makerel and white rice for nearly every lunch and d
Koon, Misool, Blue magic and Melissa's Garden in Central Raja Ampat... and the crew lead by Jan: a superb cruise manager. Always organized and very punctual.

- Excellent service, crew had tanks always ready, very consistent NO2 mix and carried the tanks, cameras, etc to the tenders for each diver 3-4 dives per day. The dive sites were excellent.

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!

Beautiful boat and best crew ever
The friendly and highly capable crew is what makes the stay on this beautiful wooden Penisi boat special! I love the way everything was taken care of, be it offering great food for everyone at all times, arranging diving and making sure all we had to do was hopping onto the tender as well as providing a perfect back-up plan when the weather didn't make it easy for us. Cabins are comfortable and the suites very spacious. Please note that it is a wooden boat, meaning it can be a bit noisy with all the creaking and cracking during sailing. But that is part of the experience and didn't affect our sleep at all. The common areas are spacious and well taken care of and food was tasty with plenty of choice of local and international dishes including nice options for guests with special dietry requirements. Best part for me was making the joint decision amongst crew dircetor and our group to do some exploration dive where it seemed interesting and we had exceptional dives.
