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.

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.

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 ;)

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.

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.

Unforgettable experience!!!
I’ve joined Liveboard in Komodo National Park on the board of Kira Kira boat more than a week ago and still cannot stop smiling. 😆😆😆 Dives were an insane beauty and a good fun (currents). Clare made each of them safe an unforgettable! Herself and Fandy are not only the great, experienced guides but one of those positive, crazy guys who make great atmosphere around them. We were very lucky to meet fantastic Kira Kira crew who was welcoming and helpful, who made us feel like home, taking care of us and making our trip extremely pleasant. One more thing I need to mention is the genius chef the cuisine who each day spoiled us with the variety of delicious Indonesian (and not only) cuisine. Perfect amount of dives per day allowed us not only to enjoy beauty of the underwater world but also to know each other, share diving/travelling experiences while admiring magnificence of the Komodo National Park with it’s sunrises, sunsets and sky full of stars. One more time BIG THANK YOU to Clare, Fandi, Paul and lovely crew for this amazing time together. Hoping to dive with you again in the near future !!!
