Unforgettable, eye-opening, exciting trip
Best holiday we ever went on. The crew, captain and our dive guide was incredibly friendly. We were able to see loads of sharks, mantas, tiger rays, even leopard sharks. It was flexible to choose snorkeling instead of scuba diving for some of the dives. The crew made a lot of effort to make this trip special for us including taking drone shots for us and under water videos and sent them back to us straightaway. Beach time and manta night was memorable. Boat is clean and modern, large variety of food and delicious- especially the seafood. Highly recommend this trip!

Super happy
We had an unforgettable experience at the Liveaboard Ariyal, where we celebrated the second week of our honeymoon. From the first moment, the treatment was exceptional: knowing that we were on our honeymoon, they surprised us with a cake and a bottle of prosecco. A beautiful detail!All the staff of the boat were always super attentive 24 hours a day, taking care of every detail so that we did not miss anything. The four dive guides are a real blast: Ali, Alex, Shamil and Wish, cracks! We hired a private guide, which was a great choice, but we also found that groups of five per divemaster work great; All the divers seemed very happy.The food was delicious, with snacks between meals that always came in handy. Dinner on the deserted island was simply magical.Without a doubt, we would repeat without thinking about it! A diving experience and care that exceeds expectations.

Excellent week of diving on a very comfortable boat
I had a most enjoyable week on the Ariyal - I had beautiful and spacious room on the main deck. The common areas are very well appointed - and great for socialising, relaxing and for briefings. Lots of outdoor spaces to lounge about, including shaded areas. The diving was excellent, although visibility was not the best during the low season. I would definitely recommend this boat to my friends.

A great ship and its crew even more so!!
A great trip!!The staff is wonderful, the boat is spotless, the food is delicious and the dive spots are great. The diving instructors care a lot about the dives being wonderful and that we can enjoy them and see as much marine life as possible. It was a great ship where the attention is 5 stars, the room is better than a hotel and the common areas are great. I can't say anything bad. Everything was very good!! I'll be back!! Thank you Ariyal Team!!

The Ariyal is a beautiful boat with plenty of space even with the maximum divers on board. Great diving, warm water. Highlight of the trip for us was the manta night dive.

A completely no hassles experience.
Being able to dive without a wetsuit in clean, clear water was magical. The cabins were comfortable and housekeeping fantastic. I would love to see some more towel racks in the bathroom and a fish identification guide in the saloon. The food was beautiful and fresh and SO MUCH of it. Thank you for everything.
