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.

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.

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 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.

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.

11 perfect nights from Raja Ampat to Ambon.
11 nights from Raja Ampat to Ambon including Missol and Banda islands, The nature both above and underwater was wonderful. Healthy reefs, massive schools of fishes, guides did good job spotting rare species. Because all the long crossings were done at night, we maximized our diving time and still got to rest. As usual in Indonesia, crew and dive guides do their best to accommodate every request and make everyone happy. Trip was perfectly completed with a visit to Banda Neira and a beach sunset on a sandbank. Fantastic boat and route.

- Long but well planned route, expert cruise director.. Spacious boat, lot of storage for gear and cameras.. Real value of money..
