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.

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 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!

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.

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 ;)

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.

KiraKira is the best Liveaboard around
Komodo is without question one of the best dive areas in the world. The amount and variety of fish is amazing! For your own sake and that of your fellow divers, dont do a liveaboard until you are comfortable with boat diving, drift diving, and buoyancy. But once you are, Komodo is a must. Diving in an aquarium with warm water. The corals are so varied in shape, type form and colour, it is breathtakingly beautiful. Snorkelling is amazing (sometimes better than diving). The KiraKira is the best Boat for people who do not want to dive staccato 4 times a day but want to enjoy the diving without hectic and stress. Dive sites are well chosen, always with regards to currents and local conditions. Safety first. If the dive site seems "crowded" we rather moved to a different spot and came back to that one later. You still get to see all the main things on the list such as Mantas and turtles and sharks and Nemo fish. The crew are local and well connected. Amazingly friendly. They sing and play guitar, joke around and make this trip truly enjoyable. The owners, two Brits, are far-travelled and have plenty of stories to tell, if asked. The chef is amazing! Thanks to her, think I gained 3 kg on the trip.
