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.

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.

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.

Excellent all-around service, especially on dive planning
The manager made a huge effort to make sure we beat the crowds to the more popular dive sites. Dive briefings were highly detailed

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.

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!
