I loved it so much I want to make it an annual trip. Best dive trip I’ve ever been on. Incredible service! I’ve never had such an easy, carefree trip. So nice to have someone help pull off wetsuits, rinse & hang them & take care of our gear. Dive masters & cruise directors awesome. Jose’s talks added so much to the top. I could look at a reef and know what I was seeing. Really enhanced the experience. Everything was superb. Loved the opportunity to see so many sites and look forward to more trips on Arenui. Kai & Jose are incredible assets to the crew and to our trip. Loved the rapport and camaraderie of the crew. Service across the boat was super!’

Room was beautiful & comfortable. Food and beverages: Always plentiful & excellent. The Arenui’s best asset is the cohesive crew. Everything functions seamlessly. The crew was especially kind the few days I was feeling ill . Always amazing. Great divemasters.

Everything went 100% perfect…..not a single complaint from anybody!!!!
WE HAD A FANTASTIC TRIP!!!!
Thank you again for the great 10-year anniversary wine…….we did not use it all because you were way to generous !!!
I trained Bob and Nathan for future trips to be our group leaders………I have been doing this to train future group leaders.
They both love the Arenui and its team and they will do a great job running trips for O.E.

My cabin was great! Amazing food; loved the fresh fruit and veggies each meal. I loved Jose’s talks and could have more. Great to have him on board and brought more value to dives. The loved photo contest; loved looking at Jose’s photos and getting the hard drive, great idea! Also, guys on the tenders were awesome. Mario and Kadek were amazing.

Could not ask for a better second trip on the Arenui. Fantastic trip. Saw a couple of average reefs but for the most part great.  Food and Beverage: too great and ate too much.

Vessel: This was the perfect boat for my first liveaboard experience! We could not have had a better time! Diving: What can I say? WOW! Best diving and our dive master, Herry, attentive and so knowledgeable! All of the staff was exceptional! Mario and Kadek were fantastic stewards, used our names the first day and remembered every day what we liked to eat and drink. Our room boys were also amazing! They slipped in and cleaned everything perfectly. We also loved having Jose, the marine biologist, on board. His talks were interesting and informative! Excellent food and service! This was the trip of a lifetime! We booked over two years ago, and it was worth the wait! We will definitely be back! Thank you so much!

Very hard to think of one particular experience since the whole trip has been out of this world. We are particularly grateful to the crew for making such a fuss of us on our honeymoon. This has to be the best choice for any dive-loving newly weds (or about to be weds). What an amazing trip. I honestly can't fault anything/anyone. This is a very special experience in a mind-blowing part of the world. Thank you so much for making our honeymoon amazing. We have had a wonderful time. Thank you! Boat: beautiful vessel, very well maintained. Great balance between excellent amenities and providing a cultured/romantic environment. Diving: the best diving I have done. The knowledge of the guides is second to none. World-class dive sites, like diving in a fish tank. Crew: every single member of crew is amazing!! Professional, friendly, attentive. G and Lisa run a great team. Joni was an exceptional guide, his knowledge and safety made us comfortable from the first dive. Massages from Wenton and Wayan were fantastic. Food: wow! I can't imagine how it could get better the chefs onboard were incredible. What awesome food!

Boat: best and most beautiful boat in the world! My 10th liveaboard and the Arenui is head and shoulders above the rest! Diving: best diving I've ever done and I've been diving for 50 years. Got to snorkel and play with two mantas on the surface. Biodiversity and health of the reefs the greatest!! Crew: could not be more helpful, kind, courteous, solicitous and attentive!! Every one. Food: my belly had gotten larger.

Many wonderful experiences. A surprise visit by a whale shark was magical. When we were at a giant manta cleaning station the crew helped me hook in so I was nice and close to a manta. I will always remember being eye to eye with this majestic creature!! Boat: bed was very comfortable. Beautiful boat and state rooms. Diving: felt very safe with Phari. He is very skilled and we appreciated him spotting critters for us. Crew: I have been on many liveaboards (8-10). My experience on the Arenui was top notch - the best yet. Service could not be better. Phari learned our dive preferences and needs which enhanced our experience. Cannot say enough good things about Anto. His dedication to his guests - admirable. Everyone seems happy and all the smiles and joking around was infectious.

Wonderful trip! The "small details" have all been anticipated and attended to on this boat, as well as the obvious big stuff! Superb organization and response to needs. Boat: I love the wood (all re-used/re-claimed) and the art work throughout the boat. Cabins very comfortable. We were in Ganesh and had storage space beyond our needs!! Pillows were great - 1 soft and 1 firm for each bed - what a lovely plan!! Sky lounge was lovely with canopy. Diving: wonderfully planned locations/great manta sitings (the goal of this trip). Itinerary was flexible to keep up to best manta ray opportunities. Crew: All staff/crew were helpful and friendly. The Steward and Wayan and Wenton were quickly aware of preferences and needs, very helpful. Even could tell when someone needed extra help. The leadership of the Cruise Directors was amazing (Debbie & Jerry). It feels like everything has been thought through, extremely well-run boat, limits were clear and presented in a fun way to boot. There was no question about safety preparation and we all knew about evacuation plans immediately. Jose - with his knowledge of fish/creature identification always expanded our dive experiences by siting with small groups to identify and talk about fish and their behaviors. Good library available. Food: I always had gluten free choices - thank you!! Food quality was large, but ½ portions were available. And we were all amazed at how hungry we were for each of the 5 eating times!

Debbie and Jerry were lovely people, filled with enthusiasm and clearly in love with their jobs. The boat was run efficiently and we felt like royalty for the entire 11 days. Boat: loved Shinta cabin. Spacious, tons of storage. Beautiful windows and lovely decorations. Great value relative to price of other cabins on boat. Upon our return, we'd only stay in Shinta or Rama. Diving: diving was spectacular! Crew: Phari was a wonderful dive guide and I appreciated being with him. Not only did he perform the traditional dive master role, but he also took extra effort to instruct me on improving my buoyancy and general diving. Debbie and Jerry were the best! Food: food was great, although there was certainly a lot of it.

When I was asked to go on this trip, I hesitated due to cost… But I am glad I came… And would come again! Boat: outstanding! Diving: beyond description - our first week was incredible!! Crew: everyone was great. The spirit and attitude of the crew was incredible - this comes from the top - Lisa and G make this boat and trip over the top special! Food: food was good but way too much. Loved the fresh fruits and veggies!!
