An amazing experience for a really good price
This was my first liveaboard trip and one of the best trips I've ever done in my life. The guides and the crew really made it special for me. The atmosphere on the boat is so friendly and welcoming, everyone is really nice and you just feel like you're apart of the family for a week. And of course, the diving in Komodo is absolutely amazing.

Epic Adventure in Komodo
Kira Kira just was dry docked renovated in May of 2025. Amazing 20 dives in Komodo mix with a few off shore excursions. The food was amazing. Amazing guest and crew, the budget friendly self-selects great people. But be ready for room- temperature showers and no-ac rooms. They do have small fans installed in the rooms. I had issues with mine. I highly recommend if youre seeking adventure without hotel comfort, and want some really good hearty food.

We had a wonderful week in Komodo aboard the Kira Kira.
We loved to wake up every morning in the middle of the sea and go for an early dive to start the day. We spent a lot of time lying on the top deck to relax. The ambience on the boat was really nice and friendly. We highly recommand this cruise!!

- Alex and Clare were the perfect diving instructors. Very careful about security, they have a great knowledge concerning the Komodo marine park, diving spots, currents and will adapt to your diving level. The boat crew is composed with 6 indonesian boys, allo of them very benevolent, smiling and funny! The food was amazing and fits to carnivorus as well as vegetarian and vegan people! No need to specify that the dives were awsome ;)

Diving in paradise
Thank you so much to the amazing crew on Kira Kira - all the Indonesian crew were amazing - from the captain to the cooks to the dive guide Hans! A once in a life time experience diving with these guys in Komodo national park. They truly strive to make your experience a good one; making sure to dive where there aren't crowds, pointing out the rarest of sea creatures and to find the things you want to see. All whilst cooking amazing authentic Indonesian meals every few hours between dives. They also make time for short trips to the Komodo islands for insane sunsets and a chance to see a Komodo dragon with your own eyes. Honestly the warmth we received from the crew made the experience a forever treasured memory of mine. Hans, our dive guide prioritised safety, each dive briefing explaining the things that would ensure the safest and rewarding dive. He even managed to squeeze in a night dive at our request which was awesome; octopus, cuttle fish, frog fish, and so much more, active and hunting at night. And of course manta ray during our day dives! So magical. I unfortunately lost my GoPro during this trip, and the staff went to all lengths to help me look for it. Even though we didn't find it, I can honestly say that I still loved the trip and felt very much cared for at each step. The rooms were sufficient, complete with an actual hand painted painting hanging on the wall. The cabins had 3 little fans that helped keep you cool at night. Its not fancy but it has all the things to build an incredible, memorable diving trip if you are passionate about diving into the natural abundance that is Komodo National Marine reserve. Don't hesitate to book with these guys - I'm looking forward to hopefully diving again with them, but back to Raja Ampat next time! :) Thank you again crew of Kira Kira! Take care, Elizabeth :)

Exceeded All Expectations
I had the pleasure of joining the Kira Kira liveaboard, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. My expectations were truly exceeded. Not only was the diving outstanding, but also the atmosphere on board was exceptional. Both the fellow guests and the crew made the trip unforgettable. The dive sites we visited were stunning, and the briefings for each dive were clear, professional, and very helpful. The crew created a welcoming and relaxed environment while at the same time ensuring everything was safe and well organized. Overall, I can highly recommend the Kira Kira to anyone looking for a memorable liveaboard adventure – both underwater and above.

Great briefing on dive sites and guided dives, felt safe and well looked after
We loved that this was a small group which meant it had some room for flexibility. We all got along well so that made for a fun trip. Alex our dive guide was so amazing with dive briefings and diving. He was also very patient when we all wanted to have a go at the wakeboarding which meant having to drive the boat in the hot sun for 4 hours one afternoon. The boat was basic, but had the necessary things for comfort. The bean bags on the deck was fantastic place to chill out between dives and enjoying sunrise and sunset. Double cabin is lovely on the deck, you get a beautiful breeze, and you can enjoy the view but have to admit a bit annoying with the low ceiling after knocking your head a few times getting in and out. It is not private in that the whole cabin faces the deck where people hang out and also occasionally crew sleeping. They have curtains so its manageable.

Brilliant experience aboard the Kira Kira
What a fantastic dive trip! Everything about it was amazing - from the incredible diving (perfect conditions, insane marine life) to the delicious food (so many options as a vegetarian) and the friendly nature and cultural immersion with the local crew and guides (making me so welcome and comfy as a solo traveller), the trip was easy, relaxing, full of wonder, and so much fun!
