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.

Absolutely booking with them again!
It was amazing! There was adequate breaks between dives to ogle photos from the prior dive, eat/drink, take a nap, or just soak in the amazing scenery. Very well organized and communication was amazing, even when it was a developing situation due to someone getting DCS. They took care of us like family. I rented all my gear, except mask and they were all amazingly taken care of and when the mouth piece wearing out they replaced it before I even had a chance to mention it.

- Organization and communication. Dive briefs and communication of expectations for the dive. Personalities of the crew: there were always little jokes and cheers and water being advertised as more than just water to hydrate us: “wine before your dive?” Haha.

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.

Five-star service, five-star treatment and five-star diving.
The diving in Misool was world-class, as were our dive guides. The muck diving later on was fantastic and steaming up to and stopping and swimming on the Equator was a unique experience.
