Amazing experience with Kira Kira
This was my first Liveaboard and it really exceeded my expectations! The diving was absolutely incredible and the dive guides, Engel and Yetno, were some of the best guides I’ve ever had. Also the food onboard was just INCREDIBLE - best food I’ve eaten in Indonesia. The whole vibe on the boat was so lovely and warm and in the end we all were just one big boat family, and it was bittersweet to say goodbye. I would definitely recommend Kira Kira and hope to join them next again for Raja Ampat.

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.

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.

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 :)

It was an incredible trip with Kira Kira.
They are really thoughtful, and take good care about customers. Everything is organized. The boat is very clean and comfortable. All the boat crews and dive guides are always laughing, polite and showed us the wonderful underwater world. We enjoyed a lot and didn't want the trip to end.

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!

Amazing trip and lovely boat. Excellent crew.
It was an amazing trip. The diving spots are marvelous. Landscape of the place is also breathtaking. The dive guides Yetno and Engel, were always concerned to show us the best places and point us all the fish and amazing creatures underwater. The food on board is amazing. All the crew was very professional and always willing to help us. Can’t wait to come back!!!

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.

Magnificent liveaboard experience with amazing diving - what a wonderful trip
(July 2024) We had a blast, the boat is so pretty because of its traditional phinisi style and we felt very comfortable, also in the cabins (even though there is no air conditioner, the wind at night was cool enough). The sundeck was a good place to chill out. The food was absolutely delicious with a great variety (also vegetarian), it was mostly local dishes. The boat was very clean. There are only two bathrooms with a toilet, sink and shower on the boat and they are shared, but that didn't pose a problem. Admittedly, they didn't smell that nice sometimes (from the plumbing of the shower), but they were cleaned very often. We enjoyed the diving enormously, we saw so many different species (octopus, manta rays, so many nudibranchs and flatworms, cuttlefish, sharks, mantis shrimps, crabs, huge fish swarms, etc...), the reefs were in good condition and teeming with life, and some of the dive sites were spectacular because of the adrenaline factor (strong currents). We felt that the crew was very welcoming and working hard at all times to ensure we had a great time. The dive guides (Savri and Faldy) always knew the sites and conditions very well, it was obvious that they had a lot of experience and were very focused on safety.
