Komodo at its best with Eliya
Outstanding week on a wonderful boat. The organization was super professional, the guides are absolute experts for Komodo. The dive sites were amazing and briefed well. The relaxed atmosphere on board rounded the perfect week.

Highly recommended!
Very knowledgeable crew making sure that everyone on board was safe and well taken care of. Schedules adapting according to sudden weather changes or divers conditions. Seamless organisation the moment we landed in the airport all the way to the boat and back to the airport. We also appreciate the crew and company’s clear prioritisation of safety and sustainability very much. Our crew director Luke also made sure that our every need was well taken care of.

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!

Great dives and a great group of guests
The boat is very good. The excursions and diving and the crew a 10.We miss a bit of empathy with non-English speakers. It was taken for granted that we understood everything, but the truth is that those of us who do not have English as our first language need closeness and to be able to see the mouth to understand. It would have been nice if Max didn't always have dinner in the same place and was with everyone on different days. Thanks to the other guests who made an effort to make us part of the conversations, we felt supported, but I think this is the job of the trip leader more than the guests because you don't always find such friendly people.As the rooms are very tight, I have missed some drawers instead of all the wardrobes under the beds (it's just a suggestion)As a snorkeler that I am, I lacked a paddle or kayak to have more autonomy.The best Amanda Y Soleman and Peter as guides. The food and crew very friendly.

Awesome.
The crew where really good and attended to every detail. The boat was in tip top shape with everything working and plenty of room for everyone. Food was awesome. One of the best dive boats ive ever been on. The only let down was most dive sites in Komodo where crowed underwater and could not help but think it was the reason why at times we saw little to nothing. No reflection on the crew or the boat thought and we did get some exceptional diving in and an awesome experience.
