The staff were the best all around and made the trip feel very special. The food was excellent, the diving was enjoyable, and having rental equipment available on board was very convenient. Another memorable Arenui experience.

The staff were the best we have ever had and the chefs were incredible. We also loved Jordy and Fahmi and appreciated the option of half portions. Diving was some of the best we have ever done. The accommodations were amazing, the rooms were impeccable.

This was probably the best liveaboard experience in the diving world. I loved the boat and the attention to detail, and the food was so good. Angie, Jordi, Sabrina and Arief were true superstars who made the trip unforgettable.

This was our second time on Arenui, and we would definitely do it again. Everything—from the service and food to the diving—was excellent, and we had no real suggestions for improvement.

The food and service were consistently good throughout the trip. The diving offered large marine life, and the contingency plans included in the briefings were especially helpful. A comfortable boat and well-run liveaboard with a professional crew.

Davide was an excellent divemaster—safe, attentive, kind, patient and respectful. The food was better than a five-star restaurant, beautifully creative and delicious. The nicest boat I have ever been on!

This boat and crew were exceptional. We are an extremely large camera group, and your staff found a solution to meet our needs. The kitchen staff are top shelf. Great food and presentation. Competent and well-run dive operation. The boat operators and divemasters are highly skilled. We would not change a thing and look forward to returning to Borneo. Plenty to see and photograph, with mostly clear waters

This is a great boat — luxury at its finest. The crew is beyond excellent. The food is 5-star. So accommodating to diet restrictions and personal choice. Everyone is so professional, yet so friendly and helpful. Great trip and great dive masters and tender captains. I loved every moment on this boat. The crew is top of my list — and I have a long list. So thankful for you all. I would love to return. I only wish I had had a 10-day trip

The boat is definitely one of the best liveaboards I have been on. Every little detail has been accounted for. The food was delicious and plentiful. Chef Mario and his staff were spectacular in their food selections and presentation. I’m sorry to leave and not be able to enjoy his delicious preparations again. The crew is absolutely amazing and left nothing for us to attend to. They were always one step ahead of anything we needed. Truly outstanding. The diving was great, and the staff was superlative in every respect. Our dive guide Tome is hilarious and funny

The way the crew handled photo equipment was beyond excellent. All guests were equally impressed with the crew, who worked as a cohesive unit — really outstanding. Borneo is a new destination for me. Very worthwhile, and great that it is so free of other boats — for now. Very impressed — one of the world's great dive liveaboards for sure

I really appreciate the flexibility of the dive crew in giving us freedom to dive and explore without being too restrictive. Some of the food was excellent and otherwise all amazing. Exceptional service all around and special recognition to Areef (waiter) and Fahmi(divemaster). Incredible experience. Thank you so much!

"Overall, the boat looks and feels great. Fantastic improvements on the master suite. The spacious shower and extra shelving are appreciated. Thank you to everyone who works to keep the boat clean, fresh, and organized. Chef Mario and his staff have brought the food on this boat to another level. Every meal has been delicious and perfectly cooked. If they awarded the Michelin star to dive boats, you would deserve it. Thank you, Chef Mario and staff, for your meal plans and efforts, as well as Areef for serving us with kindness, efficiency, and a smile. You have all presented yourselves with friendly, welcoming warmth and are consistently available to help us as well as each other. It feels like everyone on the boat has each other’s back. Great teamwork. Thank you Alex, Natalia, Arif, Kadek, the Captain, tender drivers, room boys, engine room — everyone made this trip special to me. The diving was beyond my expectations. Beautiful diversity of corals and fish life. Great mix of dives to keep it interesting and exciting. Thank you, Ethan, for escorting us through the waters. You were particularly good in the muck. It was great seeing some old friends and meeting some new ones on this trip. We are looking forward to seeing you all next year, same time, same place
