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.

Amazing crew, diving and boat. Loved every momment.
Amazing... I can't say enough how awesome the crew and diving was. Greg was such a good captain and super hard working. He has everything so organized and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves. (He even cleaned all the oyster shells that everyone wanted to take home... very labor intensive!) Daisy was an AMAZING cook, and our dive guide, Tom, was super chill and seemed to attract all the fish. I can't say enough about how awesome this crew was, and how much their teamwork made our trip. MC was not our guide, but she also was awesome.

Relaxing diving in a shark heaven
Definitely one of the best places to see tons of sharks without feeding in blue water with visibility up to 50 m! The crew was professional and friendly, the food was excellent, we were all treated as one big family. Definitely recommended!

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.

Aging boat and disappointing dives
Good and hearty meal prepared by Manou, exceptional evening of the last day organized by Manou, conviviality and availability at all times of the crew.

- Abundant wildlife on the sites visited but at the exorbitant price of dives, I would have preferred to visit 12 different sites rather than 6 sites visited twice.

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.

Wish I stayed longer on board !
An unforgettable trip aboard Aqua Tiki II! Greg is truly the most multi-talented captain you can imagine – navigating, fixing things, making cocktails, DJ-ing, even towing the dinghy under water. Alix, our dive master, was incredibly attentive, always planning and adjusting dives to match the best conditions and making an art piece per day. Tika, our hostess, took care of us from breakfast to bedtime, making sure we were clean, well-fed, and happy – even throwing in cooking lessons! Altogether, a dream team that puts safety and comfort first, both on board and underwater. Can’t recommend it enough!
