Superb!
It was fantastic! Fakarava is beautiful and secluded. No other boats anywhere on outer atolls. Humidity was low in June, temperature was pleasant, water was flat, just amazing!

Excellent diving & a fantastic crew
We had a great time on Aqua Tiki II. We have been on 10+ liveaboards around the world ... Captain Greg was by far the best captain we've had ... he is the absolute backbone of the Aqua Tiki experience. The rest of the crew (Tika, Leah, Jeremy & Guillaume) were all fantastic too. The diving was excellent (constant sharks, lots of manta encounters, great drifts) and all well planned and very safe. Food was plentiful and good. Greg took us on some nice little side trips to different motus. We were lucky with the weather (very calm) but the trips between atolls can be rough - take sea sickness tablets. Things to note ... There is no Nitrox - it is all Air diving. There is no AC, but we found the fan and open hatches sufficiently cool. Being a catamaran, the rooms are tiny and the beds are not the comfiest, all rooms are ensuite though, with good showers. Bring ear plugs the electric toilets / waterpump can be noisy if used in the night! We really enjoyed our trip and would definitely recommend this liveaboard. Just be aware that, if you are used to some of the very luxurious liveaboards in the Maldives and South-East Asia, this is a different type of liveaboard - it's lots of fun, fab diving, great service but it's a much smaller boat. But we would definitely come again.

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.

An absolutely awesome experience!
This was an unforgettable trip, and this was at the very top of the line thanks to the excellent team at Aqua Tiki II, who spared no effort to make us feel comfortable, make our stay as easy as possible and make this trip an absolutely great experience. The welcome and service on board was excellent, the dives prepared and carried out with great professionalism and in a very pleasant atmosphere, and the navigation and the stay easy thanks to an absolute mastery of the sea and navigation conditions. This is not my first liveaboard, but by far the best I have done so far, and I can only warmly recommend this boat and this team!

Remarkable trip/dive safari.
They know the currents and are very experienced. I have a large camera setup so they advised me of the current situation prior to each dive. One area near unesco site had thousands of fish and was the most remarkable site. We saw plenty of mantas in relatively clear water for nice photographs. Chef was very good lots of tuna sashimi and tartare, yoghurt, fresh fruits, fresh bread, eggs for breakfast. Diving from the zodiac was easy.

- The diving was remote and remarkably beautiful. There’s some good currents so this is for an experienced diver. Lots of beautiful fish. Several species of butterfly fish seen everywhere in large groups. Many many sharks as. Small group. 4 guests and 3 crew.

The best way to explore the dive sites in French Polynesia
Perfect visibility, enjoyable drift dives, different sizes of tank to accommodate diver’s need, well managed one hour dive, optional nitrox available for decompression stop to ensure safety and comfort. Personally, cataraman is my favorite as it avoids the smell from gasoline. Many free time available for snorkeling around and there’re lots to see. Additional credit given to the beautiful Milky Way at night!

Great week with new friends
My husband and I spent a week in Oct/Nov 2025 aboard the Aqua Tiki II. The crew; Captain Greg, 1st Mate and DM Marie Charlotte, Hostess Poi, went above and beyond to make the trip enjoyable and safe. The food was wonderful and Poi is so kind. MC is one of the best DMs I've been diving with; she knew the dive sites amazingly well and made sure we were safe while having a good time. This diving is NOT for beginners. We dove on the full moon and the currents were ripping! Captain Greg was excited to be sailing the boat and was more than accommodating with anything we needed.
