Another great sailing on the Kira Kira
It was our second time on the Kira Kira, we previously dove Komodo, much of the crew remained the same. The crew is the standout of this boat. They are absolutely amazing!!! The diving in Raja is unmatched I think and we saw some of the best of it with the trip to Misool. The food was very good and there was always plenty for everyone. It is a budget boat so the accommodations and the showers reflect that. I love the small group and just as on our first trip we left with new friends. If you don’t mind roughing it a bit and you are ok with no A/C you will be happy in your choice.

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic Trip
We had an absolutely amazing time on board the Kira Kira. Clare and Fandi really made the trip, always felt safe and enjoyed every minute. Best holiday we’ve ever had. Diving was great, saw a huge array of marine life. The boat itself fairly basic but had everything we wanted. I cannot thank you enough Clare and crew for a truly wonderful experience that we will never forget.

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 Trip!
We had a great time on the kira. Kira! This was my husband's first live aboard, we were a little concerned that there would be two shared bathrooms and no AC for him. But it actually was not a problem at all. There is a great bean bag area up top with good shade and in the cabin the two little fans and the open hatch overhead really work well at night. I was amazed at all the really good food The cook was able to turn out of that little kitchen, even fresh baked bread. The crew took care of everything with our gear after every dive. Our dive guides Yetno and Akri were fantastic and so knowledgeable. They found the tiniest little things to show us. The boat is so beautiful and well taken care of. It has a very casual feel and more intimate with only eight guests. The dive sites were amazing!

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 ;)
