Excellent fun
The diving in Komodo is wonderful. Healthy fishy reefs. Only two reefs were affected by blasting and bleaching, all the rest were stunning. The crew were so helpful and friendly and our dive guide Ardi was amazing. Patient and he found so much. The cruise director Phil was also always available and helpful.

Heavenly week aboard Eliya
It was an incredible experience aboard Eliya. Everything was run efficiently and there was an instant family atmosphere amongst the crew and guests. The dives were all rated highly and the guides excellent at spotting, planning and executing each dive safely and with maximum enjoyment. The ship is beautiful and the amenities and rooms were ideal for a 6 day liveaboard. The food was delicious throughout the trip and snacks between dives always very welcome!

Wonderful Komodo liveaboard trip on Eliya
I had a great time on Eliya as a solo traveller, making new friends from around the world. The experienced dive team made sure that everyone had the best dives possible and were always on hand for anything. The vibrancy and abundant life on some of the healthiest reefs I have seen in the past 20 years or so, made the trip unforgettable.

Magnificent cruise
The boat is very comfortable, with enough room for everyone without having to stay in the cabins or feel on top of each other. The dives were excellent and the dive director adapted the last dives to give us more chances to see mantas (which had remained too discreet until then), with success!

Don't Hesitate - Komodo is Calling!
My daughter and I joined the Eliyah for the Komodo for a 6 day/ 5 night liveaboard in Aug 2025. Prior to joining all the formalities were taken care of. The team clearly communicated all the requirements and for my daughter to complete her AOW onboard. Once onboard, the crew went above and beyond to make sure the trip was memorable. Detailed briefings were made for each dive and prior to the next day so all guests were on the same page. Komodo area has some fast currents and the tour leader (Max) was familiar with all the SOPs to make sure each dive was conducted safely with consideration to all guests abilities. The information was conveyed clearly with detailed hand drawn dive site maps for reference. Food onboard was a good mix for each meal. It is buffet style/ shares dishes between all guests. The boat is well maintained and all areas are kept clean. There is plenty of space for 12 guests to find areas onboard to unwind, stay in the shade and relax. The entire crew was extremely helpful and always willing to go the extra mile, always with a smile. Max joined for all shore excursions despite likely doing them for them 100th time. He was always enthusiastic and positive. With his ability to converse in Bahasa with the crew fluently it was really helpful. As a retired diving instructor I was really impressed by the entire experience onboard Eliyah and cant wait to go back!

Enjoyed all the Komodo highlights with friendly staff, just be mindful of which cabin you get!
Overall great LoB experience. The food was pretty good, and there were always snack to forage. The upper deck lounge area was particularly nice place to chill. Dive masters were very accommodating to the various guest needs. As there is no swim deck, all dives were conducted via the two zodiacs. Worked quite well. I was able to secure my booking during a LoB.com flash sale, so that was definitely nice. My one complaint: i was given the cabin that shares a acoustically transparent wall with the engine room. They run the engine 24 hours a day and it's LOUD. So loud I thought it was a joke when I first got into the cabin. Overall a great experience and I'd return, assuming i could request a different cabin!
