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.

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.

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.

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.

I got every cent worth of value for my money and I highly recommend this boat for experienced divers and underwater photographers.
The experience was top class. The boat was well maintained and the staff were attentive. The diving met and surpassed expectations. The food was, as always, in abundance, and very good, no matter your dietary requirements. Nothing negative to say.
