Lovely Boat. Love the Arenui and all its crew. We are coming back 2020+2021!

Fahmi is a delight, had such a great time with him. Jose is so gracious and enthusiastic. Fery, thanks so much for always hanging my bathing suit. Thanks for stocking burgers and popcorn! Wenton’s massages were great. I hurt my back one day and I really think it was because he fixed it that I was able to continue to dive. Eman, Hasan, Kurniawan were terrific on the tender. Mario is a gem, he and Kadek never missed a detail. Thanks for filling our room fridge with diet coke!  

I prefer macro but I learned to love wide angle. The sites uniquely incredible. All staff are exceptional, over the top. So helpful! I feel quite spoiled. Thank you for the vegan entrees!

Anazing Boat. Our bed, linens, AC all room amenities were 5 star! The Diving: Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! I do believe we will be back again! The Crew: All members of staff were delightful, friendly and professional. Top notch! Kai was so organized. We all enjoyed Jose’s talks. Fery (DM) was professional. Mario and Kadek were great. All food was amazing. Fresh salad and fruit every day, fresh fish every day! So happy with the food and drinks! We loved your boat and all that came with it! Your crew was great. You’ve spoiled us. We hope to be back!

The boat was stunning in all areas! Kai made the trip!! Ronald was our DM, we loved him! All DM’s were wonderful and the boat crew too! Massage with Wayan is in my top 3 massages EVER! AMAZING! Surprise character (Best): Jose on boat

The whole staff was excellent! I accidently dropped my prescription googles off the dive tender and Herry jumped in and saved them! Loved Raja Ampat! We have never been so pampered.

Jose’s photo advise was invaluable for a newbie to u/w photography

The Boat: All excellent. Everything is well looked after/maintained. Needs in any of the above areas are met! Exceeded by the staff. The Diving: All excellent. Destination was great and dive sites amazing. Briefings very informative so you know what to expect. The Crew: All excellent. Tender Drivers were very attentive to divers. Stewards learned names and likes so quickly. You had things before asking. 2nd to none! Always on the look out for critters and small things. Made the dives most interesting. Food and Beverages: All excellent. Great Food and choices. Quality and quantity was just right. The whole trip was beyond my wildest expectations. This truly was concierge diving- everything was done for you. Loved having DM’ s come up to Fish-ID and help with log books. As this was our first time in Indonesia, we did not know what to expect. We have been diving in other areas of the world but must say the Raja Ampat tour topped them all. The  staff on the Arenui caters to your every want. You are always greeted with a smile! They obviously love their jobs. Look for us again , we will be back.!!

The Boat: All excellent. I do not have anything to compare to but I can’t imagine that anything could be better. Linda found the single bed in our room very hard. { The Queen bed was a little crowded for both of us}. The Diving: All excellent. Although some sites better than others, each one was amazing. Anything we do in the future will probably come up short. The Crew: All excellent. Everyone was over the top courteous and helpful. G and Jose were entertaining at Dinner every night. Briefings were all informative . Timing and schedule were always right on. Jose’s education lessons were excellent. Mario and Kadek were non-stop helpful. Captain Syam was great to participate in the wedding ceremony. G was always extremely helpful and informative. Food and Beverage: All excellent. Top quality in all respects. Good choices, nothing ever disappointed. Everything was crisp and fresh- healthy and decadent in each dinner. All of the crews participation in the wedding made the vent even that much better. G’s choice of the site could not have been much better., the village tour , the view point climb and the cave visit were all great and a nice change. We all had a great time with the swim at the view point. Thanks to everyone. As a group we took a short tender ride through a pearl farm to a view point. After climbing the top { reasonable climb} we were treated to spectacular 360 views. Back on the jetty we all had a great swim in a crystal clear shallow lagoon.

The Boat: All excellent. Beautiful!! So well maintained. 5 Star. The Diving: All excellent. The staff are incredible. Knowledgable, caring and fun. The dive sites were varied and each  one special. Ronald and team are top notch. The Crew: All excellent. The crew is what made the trip extra special. Always ready to help. Science talks were super. Divemasters were outstanding. Stewards were so great. Really great team. 5 Stars. Food and Beverage: My diet and restrictions were not a problem. Plenty of awesome choices. G and Jose were outstanding and their leadership is reflected in how the whole staff performs. Thank you all for make this a trip for a lifetime. Adding the site trips was also very appreciated.  

I chartered this ship for our 35th wedding anniversary. Travelled to Bali the fall of 2015 to ensure the Arenui met my expectations. It exceeded my expectations at first sight. I was told Raja Ampat was world class but until you experience it for yourself I feel you don’t really have any idea how awesome it is. The crew is without question the best part of the trip. The boat and the diving are great, but the crew really brings the experience together. The attention to detail is amazing. My sister was lucky enough to get married while on this cruise. The crew did an amazing job to make the wedding unforgettable. I am a foody, I love to cook, I enjoy culinary experiences, the Arenui culinary team exceeded my expectations in every regard. Thank you to all of the Arenui staff! Special thanks to Siska , she was awesome helping me to set up and execute the awesome anniversary adventure.

The Boat: All excellent. The Diving: All Excellent. The Crew: All excellent. This team is a 1 in a million match. Great group of people on the ship. Keep it up. Food and Beverages: All excellent. This crew was asked to have a wedding on the ship. G organized an island wedding, a completely blew my mind. The greatest memory of my life. Mario is a gem and a great videographer. Loved the whole trip. Thank You.

Exceptional diving and snorkeling, organizing great, help from the staff excellent. Cannot say enough about the dive sites and what we saw. The entire crew were amazing, kind, friendly , helpful and happy. Totally 5 star  from the captain to G and Jose they were all so much fun and always ready to help. They all took such great care of us- the service is truly exceptional. Food and Beverage: All excellent. I was very thirsty one day and I asked Mario what I could drink- he made me a lime aid that was excellent and thirst quenching. And he continued to make it for me throughout the trip. I don’t like to drink soft drinks or beer so it was a life saver. Special mention to Mario and Kadek, Hassan who snorkeled with me and made me more comfortable in the water, G and Jose who answered all our questions, and Fahmy who kept us smiling, really the whole staff was exceptional.

Best diving I have ever done. Ferry was so very good. Everyone works so hard. Boat drivers etc. Lovely people all. I really miss you.  Again I can’t say enough. Just loved this whole adventure so much. I’ll probably be 10 lbs heavier when I get home. Food was so very good. I feel like this is a once in a life time experience but I would absolutely come back if I could. I can’t say how special this trip has been. Everyone has been fantastic. Great team. G, Fery, Jose and Mario- treasures all. I have never been so spoiled in  my life.

Such great variety. Catered to people who couldn’t eat certain things. Always something to eat. Can’t say enough about the crew. So helpful friendly and fabulous. Felt like family by the end of the trip.  They did everything for us. The diving was amazing. The amount and variety of fish was incredible. This has been a once in a life time adventure. Exceeded my expectations.

Fed us well, only complain is I gained weight :) Been waiting to experience Indo and the Arenui for over 3 years. Didn’t disappoint. Thank you

Ronald and Andy are the best divemasters. Crew provides great service. Dive sites are great.  Chef is excellent. 5 star dining on a dive boat. Second time in Arenui. Found improvement in dive preparation area & other details. Really impressive. The best dive and liveaboard in the world. Thank you for the great trip.

Jose's presentation were great, helpful and educational. His photography skills were amazing & memorable.  I've a great, wonderful experience with Arenui. Friendly helpful staff, excellent foods, clean & comfortable room. Overall superb experience

Really appreciate the beautiful + functional design of the boat.  The entire crew is A+. Jose, the marine biologist, was a wonderful addition. Very informative, with a really positive attitude that added a lot of value to the trip. Very good food, great selection.

Another excellent trip with Arenui. All staff worked so smoothly & always had a lot of smiles & thoughtful. Jose did a wonderful job for the guests, educate everyone. Arenui is the best ever experience.

Ever since the 1st day everyone made me feel comfy and made efforts of knowing everyone name and habits. This made me overcome any uneasy or awkwardness I might as felt and help me be more myself. Guislain was very attentive and courteous with a great sense of humor. My divemaster Ronald was extremely helpful and I always felt safe diving with him. You whole crew is great. Thank you so much. 

Nicely fitted out with a mixture of public and private spaces. For downstairs would like to be able to open portholes which by the way seems to have some porthole issues in our room. Diving: The mix very nice. The color was great. Some outstanding sites were Cotton Wood Canyon and Clown Valley ( Sea apple & Thresher shark). All of the crew were exceedingly obliging, amiable and quick witted. Lunch was my favorite mal, always good with a variety and lack of formality. Pasta every day is a philosophy I applaud.

Great cruise, trip of a lifetime. The entire crew were friendly and treated us as welcome guest in their boat/home.

Lisa and G are the greatest!! And Idy was an awesome dive guide. This was our second trip aboard the Arenui and it was exceptional. We have since booked more trips in years to come. Every single member of the crew has made us feel comfortable, safe and tremendously happy. There is attention to detail and meeting the needs of every guest, all while providing a breathtaking view of the beautiful underwater world. All the dives are led by knowledgeable divemasters with keen eyes and the ability to highlight the creatures unique to the area/dive site. The chefs and kitchen staff prepare delicious meals and provide wonderful flexibility for those with specific dietary needs. The Arenui not only provides its guests with a truly awesome diving experience but it also provides a relaxing retreat from a busy world. A heartfelt thanks to every member of the Arenui team for offering us such a memorable vacation!

Thank you for a wonderful time. It was very relaxing while busy. Great excursions to the look out and CAVE and diving was wonderful. Boat: the most luxurious boat I have been on. Well thought out cabins with ample storage. Diving: great guides, they know the sites and marine life. Very good briefings. Crew: a great crew, very attentive and always anticipating our needs. It was nice to see familiar faces (prior trip 2015) and the crew seems to really enjoy what they are doing. Food: excellent food. Exceptional!

A big shout out to G and Lisa for being amazing cruise directors. Crew: BEST CREW!!! Idy is the greatest divemaster we had the pleasure to dive with. He is attentive, safety orientated and knowledgeable. Anto and Kadek made our dining experience a total joy. Food: Excellent, very yummy! The kitchen staff was wonderful even about little things like no garlic in my vegetables ;)

This was my third time on the Arenui. It is by far one of the best liveaboard experiences in the best part of the diving world - Indonesia. I've been to Bali/Komodo twice and thought diving couldn't be better until I dived Raja Ampat! Diving: the best I've seen!! Crew: crew couldn't do enough for us! They were fantastic!

Ramsay and I enjoyed our first Arenui experience in June 2013 so much, we came back! We were not disappointed! The Cruise Directors - Debbie & Jerry - are the best we've ever had. Professional, fun and totally engaging. If we come back I would hope to have them as directors. Our last dive - Wednesday March 8 - Pulau Wai. We were waiting for mantas - I turned around to look behind us, in case they were coming from that direction and Ronald our divemaster, had taken off his fins - put them on his hands and was pretending to swim like a manta - he actually DID look like one and made us all laugh under water! What a great guy!! Boat: our second time on the Arenui!! Hopefully our last. As before - the boat was the epitome of luxury liveaboard travels. Clean, roomy, safe and fun. Diving: wonderful diving!! Debbie & Jerry did a great job of getting us to our dive sites, giving great briefings - and making our dive experience memorable and one we would like to do again. Crew: our divemaster - Ronald was wonderful - attentive, always aware of where we were, what was going on around us and looking out for our safety and comfort as well as making the dive experience as exciting and interesting as possible. We will never forget - "masks on!" "position, position!!" "1 - 2 - 3 - go!". Great fun! Food: excellent and plentiful food.

Thank you thank you thank you. For the sambals. For the long dives. For the MMF support. For the friendship. For the memories. For next time. Crew: your staff is uniformly excellent.

Love this boat - best boat I've ever experienced, well thought out! Loved going to the cave, the hike/view and the village to see the kids, very special. Kudos on labeling towels and small pillow and large pillow/person - very clever. Excellent showers and a good place to put legs for shaving - not just a boys boat! Excellent storage space in room, very functional, great hooks. Five flights from the US and I was thinking "I hope this is good" because it is a LONG way to come - worth every minute to experience Raja Ampat on the Arenui. The service and attention to detail on deck and the expert dive guides made it a pleasure to spend 12 days on this boat - my first 12 day liveaboard ever and I was concerned 12 days would feel too long - NOT so on the Arenui! Also, the way the divers were put into 4 groups was really excellent. If you love the ocean and learning (great educational talks) above the creatures in the ocean, this boat is for you. Diving: the best I have ever seen: variety, awesome reefs, sharks coming back, giant mantas. Crew: spending time with Jerry and Debbie was awesome - first time I have met them and I love their energy and passion for diving and wow, what a crew they run - great team, great energy between the crew. The guys that helped with dive deck were just outstanding. Food: really appreciated Anto and Kadek and how they worked so hard to customize menu for each person and create unique menu for each guest.
