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 ;)

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 :)

EPIC
it‘s really hard to pick out some highlights cause every dive was EPIC! that was the word we used after almost every dive! we came on the boat and wished for finding some cool stuff under water, a nice crew and a comfy bed.. Well, our expectations have been exceeded. Thank you Clare & Fandi soo much for everything. Your experience, your jokes, your smiles, your information & the wonderful drawings of the divesites. ;-) A huge thank you also to the rest of the crew who did there best to make our stay so perfect. And last but not least, the food was amazing! I‘m still impressed how they managed to cook all that yummi food in the kitchen on the boat :-) we'll definitely come back! see you guys in raja ampat :-)

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!
