Incredible trip- Banda to Raja Ampat
Fabulous trip and truly amazing diving. Highly recommend Kira Kira and the liquid adventures team. Diving was incredible, equipment was in good condition and the dive guides were very experienced and safe- one per 4 guests. The liveaboard is run by it’s british owner and dive guide with an Indonesian boat crew. As others have mentioned, the boat only accommodates 8 guests so it’s an intimate group which is great. They cater to mixed diver levels and myself as a less experienced diver never felt out of place. The boat is comfortable although if you are seeking luxury like air con and hot showers this is not a boat for you. It’s practical and has a few spaces to get out of the sun- including the bean bag deck. Fresh water showers and 24hr electricity. Crew are great and food excellent- lots of variety, you definitely won’t go hungry. Beers available on board. Definitely recommend- am planning my next trip already!

Wonderful
Wonderful ! 5 guests, 6 crew members plus 2 dive guides. Wow :-) Dive guide selected sites and time, and drop off point for each dive perfectly. This is extremely important for complex drift dives or sites like both of the Rocks (crystal and castle). Discuss and agree your own preferences at the beginning of the safari. For example, if you are a group of experienced divers who prefer excellent drifts, then just ask. Our group was kind of mixed, and we had good drifts, one night dive, and then two dives South. And we were extremely lucky to see Mantas at some unusual places (eg not at the Manta cleaning stations). Plus for two evenings two Mantas were flying around our boat. Yahoo! Of course, I can not guarantee that you will be as lucky as we were :-p

Cozy and simple boat that has everything you need.
Kira Kira took us around to their favorite sites including north of Komodo island which was a highlight for a lot of us. No other boats around, great dive diving at Nick's law, epic sunset with an erupting volcano at the horizon and mantas under the boat. Good food, easy going crew and everything you need is there. Lot's of time to take in the scenery between dives from the sundeck while sailing between dive sites. Solar panels on the roof also meant that's a bit more environmentally friendly and quieter without the need for a generator. 10/10 would recommend.

Awesome cruise!
Superb cruise to Rajah Ampat aboard the Kira Kira. Everything was perfect, the proposed itinerary allowed us to discover the best spots in the center and the south (Misool). The extra activities were also very good. Between 2 and 3 dives per day, not too much, not too little. Special mention to the barbecue on the beach to end the stay in style. We appreciated being only 8 divers on the boat, it allowed us to create bonds and the atmosphere on the boat was great. The food was excellent and varied throughout the stay. The cabins and sleeping accommodations are rustic but this did not impact our overall experience. This cruise will remain the best moment of our 2 month trip to India.

just great, we will be back
Our 10-day liveaboard safari with Kira Kira in Raja Ampat was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. From the moment we stepped on board, we received the warmest welcome – it immediately felt like being part of a small family. We were a group of nine people (ages ranging from 34 to 68), with one person staying in a single cabin. The group dynamic was fantastic, and we harmonized extremely well throughout the entire trip. Our two divemasters, Marsi and Charles, guided us professionally and confidently through the spectacular underwater world of Misool and Raja Ampat. They were attentive and supportive at all times. Even when one member of our group felt a bit nervous about diving at the beginning, they made sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. The boat was very well and functional equipped, and we were treated to excellent, varied meals every day. The entire crew was highly professional, organized, and incredibly helpful in every situation. Everyone clearly knew their role, and everything ran smoothly while still maintaining a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Underwater, the trip exceeded all expectations: stunning coral reefs, manta rays, reef sharks, and even dolphins. Every single dive was a highlight. There is a second boat operated by the same organization called Akomo Liveaboard. From what we understood, the atmosphere there seemed slightly younger and a bit more party-oriented. On our trip, the focus was clearly on diving, meaningful conversations, great food, and simply sharing an amazing time together. We highly recommend this liveaboard experience – the perfect combination of professionalism, warmth, and world-class diving.

Great crew, good food and diving.
I would have liked a little more spontaneity, not only everything exactly according to plan, but it's also a matter of opinion. In general, the 10 days were very good, I would definitely recommend it.

Great boat, great crew, great experiences - 100% recommendation
The liveaboard with Kira Kira was unforgettable! Starting with the guests and the shared conversations and experiences, to the crew, who were anxious at every second to offer us a great time. Overall, we had a consistently positive atmosphere on board. The boat itself is 1:1 as described. It is very well maintained and maintained. The dive sites, especially around Misol, were great, although the corals around Waigeo are unfortunately severely affected by climate change. Nevertheless, we could admire various shark rays, huge schools of fish and manta rays. We were 8 guests on board, 6 of them Scuba Divers divided into 2 Dive Masters. Yetno and Marci guided us through their underwater home with top equipment and a lot of experience. The tour was rounded off with a joint beach BBQ on the last evening and made the trip an all-round highlight! Highly recommended!
