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.

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. 🌺🌊🤿

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.

excellent food, friendly staff and diving in pristine areas
i had an amazing time on Aqua Tikki 2. Octavie our cook made delicious food all the time and not repetitive. Jeremi our Divemaster found the best scuba diving spots. we saw the famous "shark wall", many Mantas and very abundent marine life in general. Greg, our Captain and RIB driver sailed us safely all over the tuamotu. also land trips were done which made for me a difference than a only diving liveaboard. 2 dives a day, but more then enough to feel the thrill. i would highly recommend AQUA tiki 2 and the crew. many thanks again

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.
