A journey that stays in the heart! One Family at Aqua Tiki!

From the very first step on board, it was clear that this trip would be special. Greg, Victor and Poe are the kind of crew you could wish for: warm, attentive, humorous and full of passion for what they do. From the first moment there was an open, relaxed atmosphere in which you simply feel comfortable.The dives were simply spectacular. Whether in the middle of huge Schools of Fish, surrounded by sharks, elegant manta rays and impressive Napoleons, every moment underwater was pure fascination. And Remoras regularly came by to say 😉 hello for a moment. Each dive was intense and different, full of energy and life.An unforgettable moment was in Fakarava South. After a dive, Greg spotted a group of dolphins at the pick-up. A short time later we sat in the dinghy and spent a lot of time with a large dolphin family. It was a special experience to experience these animals so closely, without any hurry, just in the moment.Kauehi was also a highlight. The lagoon, the light, the silence and the dive spots had a special atmosphere that is difficult to put into words. Together with Fakarava North and South, the result was a perfect combination of adventure, nature and proximity to the sea.Even though we couldn't head for Toau because of the weather, the route was just perfect and every minute was an adventure.Between dives, there was always time for what really makes a safari: eating together, laughing, talking and enjoying. Evenings with sunset and a cocktail on deck were just as much a part of it as the many small moments in between that you don't plan but that remain.This liveaboard was coherent in every way – personal, close and genuine. Greg, Victor and Poe have made a home out of a boat on the Pacific. A big thank you for that.One Family. One Ocean. One unforgettable experience. 🌺🌊🤿

A lot of fun on a nice boat.

Visiting the villages close to where we were moored was fun. Diving was good and visibility was generally very good - not particularly memorable diving compared to other destinations. The ship prepared meals were excellent and hostess was very friendly. Having whales and dolphins swimming around the pass we were moored in was cool. Captain was friendly and accommodating. Excellent trip, even for my non-diving wife. We will book another trip with the Aqua Tiki company in the future.

Trip of a lifetime

Everything we hoped for and more. This is a great expedition with some exceptional diving. Lots and lots of sharks, napoleon wrasse, big schools of barracuda and Jack fish. The underwater topography adds to the experience with a mix of drift dives in the passes and reefs. The crew were excellent and the boat is very comfortable. Sailing between atolls in 25kts of wind was a real treat.

Excellent trip

My wife and I took the Aqua tiki for our honeymoon. Diving: As above challenging exciting diving, x2 per day with steel tanks so duration was ~1 hour each. We saw so many sharks reefs, black tips, nurses and lemons, mantas, rays. A real "big stuff" location rather than macro. Most dives were drift dives. Confident dive team, one guide, one additional staff member diving and the skipper up top in the boat. Water temp 28C in May. Vis ~30m each day. Location: like a postcard, visited x4 atolls, this boat actually sails between atolls, not motoring everywhere Food: really good. French/Polynesian. Crew: exceptional, great English, really made an effort.
