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.

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

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.

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.
- Recommended for
- 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.

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.

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.
