Great diving in comfortable boat with lovely crew
Spacious cabin, wonderful food, helpful crew, very good guides - you get a great trip and the cruise director was very helpful and flexible sorting out bills etc. Very well organised and between dive stopovers were at lovely beaches. Wonderful lookouts. Highly recommended The negatives are very minimal - the little fans in the cabins are placed in less than helpful locations, another fan would be great. Not a trip for those with bad knees as there is a lot of climbing between decks and having to always dive from the dinghy can be an issue

Vibe was high and the diving matched it
The crew were always smiling and eager to help you with your gear, the dive guides were very informative and patient, the cooking crew accommodated for my dietary needs perfectly, connecting with the other like minded guests especially during sunsets was truly memorable, and the dive spots were absolutely incredible! Thanks for the great experience

Kira Kira made us all a family and we got to experience the magic of Raja Ampat together!
Even though I had seen the videos, I was not prepared for being in such a beautiful place. The diving was great, marvelling at the marine diversity. At times it felt you were swimming in an aquarium, with abundant species all within view. The Kira Kira also did some land based activities which added a great dimension to the overall trip. While we didn't get to see mantas, that is just part of diving!

Incredible trip- Banda to Raja Ampat
Fabulous trip and truly amazing diving. Highly recommend Kira Kira and the liquid adventures team. Diving was incredible, equipment was in good condition and the dive guides were very experienced and safe- one per 4 guests. The liveaboard is run by it’s british owner and dive guide with an Indonesian boat crew. As others have mentioned, the boat only accommodates 8 guests so it’s an intimate group which is great. They cater to mixed diver levels and myself as a less experienced diver never felt out of place. The boat is comfortable although if you are seeking luxury like air con and hot showers this is not a boat for you. It’s practical and has a few spaces to get out of the sun- including the bean bag deck. Fresh water showers and 24hr electricity. Crew are great and food excellent- lots of variety, you definitely won’t go hungry. Beers available on board. Definitely recommend- am planning my next trip already!

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.

Can not recommend highly enough
Can not recommend the Kira Kira highly enough - did an 8 day liveaboard around the Komodo Islands, leaving and returning to Labuan Bajo, and including a day trip to see the Komodo dragons. Highlights: - The food was fantastic - plenty of variety, plenty of quantity, and very tasty - The people on board the Kira Kira are very friendly, and make great divemasters. The crew are also fantastic - always willing to have a laugh with the guests - And of course, the dives - the Kira Kira doesn't plan their dives months in advance like some liveaboards; each trip, they pick the best dive sites best on current conditions. They also try to avoid the ones that are going to be crowded with day trippers, or time the dive to avoid other groups - I think there was only one, maybe 2 dives the whole trip where we ran into other dive groups. We were able to see manta rays, turtles, and reef sharks, on multiple occassions, as well as fantastic coral gardens and rock walls.

Kira Kira exceeded our expectations!
Stepping on board you're immediately welcomed and made to feel at home by Richard and his crew. Cabins are comfortable and the shared facilities work well. It's an intimate boat with no room for "egos" and that was perfect for us. With a total of 7 nationalities on board it gave everyone the chance to really mix and get to know each other. Their flexibility on the route ensures the best conditions for everyone as they catered for snorkelers and divers of all different levels and we were really happy with the dive sites and the guides knowledge. The heart of the boat is the lovely Lea and her kitchen where she and Ali continuously produced way too much amazing food paying attention to everyone's dietary needs. It was impossible to leave hungry! The journey was broken up by brilliant island visits, jungle trecks, lagoon views and beach BBQ's (more food!) Great boat and we can't praise the entire crew enough. A perfect combination of attentive, polite, helpful, fun and a little bit crazy!
