The crew were outstanding,I loved every minute of the trip! The ship was beautiful, and the food was so good I’m going home fat!

The crew went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. It was such fun getting to know everyone and it felt like they got to know us too, which makes it hard to say goodbye! I’ll be back to see you again. All the staff were friendly and helpful, and the divemasters were excellent at directing us and finding interesting things underwater

Thank you for the trip of a lifetime! It wouldn’t have been the same without the stories, singing, and the joy of connecting with the crew through adventure. The amenities on the Arenui are truly next level—thank you for constantly caring for the shared spaces. I loved the patterns and cultural touches everywhere, which made the experience feel immersive. The food quality was excellent, exquisite, delicious, varied, creative, and thoughtful from start to finish. Thank you for the gift of food! One of the biggest reasons I’d return is the people and friends we made along the way. Special thanks to Dino, Tian, Natty, and the team who took care of our gear. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure a magical dive trip. The music, too, was the best part of making me feel at home, even while away. The divemasters and captains were exemplary—quick to answer and correct, patient, and observant with the divers. The briefings were fun and relevant, and I loved talking about photography and marine life during surface intervals. The locations and dive sites were truly otherworldly. You’ve mastered the perfect balance of activities and downtime! I felt cared for 24/7—not just by the facilities, but by your competent and caring crew. Ithuan membercati camu (God bless you), magasi (thank you)! The boutique selection was also such a sweet touch—I collect stickers, pins, and keychains, and the earrings and pashminas were gorgeous!

We enjoyed this trip very much and are already looking forward to booking the next one! We loved the photo op with the sails and appreciated how knowledgeable and helpful the cruise directors and dive masters were with fish and creature identification. All the crew went the extra mile to make us comfortable, Arief fixed us iced tea every day!

All the crew are super amazing!!

Thanks for everything, the crew is top notch!

Great family memories were made on this trip—thank you!! We hope to join you all again in a year or two in Komodo!It was also a lot of fun to be on board with Luigi and the Orangutan trip add-on. Great time effort, everyone on board made us feel welcome, well cared for, and comfortable. We enjoyed story time at dinner, and Mario and the kitchen team did a magnificent job. The option to have half portions was perfect! Great diving, and renting equipment was so easy!

Very attentive staff, always helpful and always delightful!

Food was great, the crew was the best! Evan was awesome!

The boat is by far the best in Indonesia—and the world! Such a special liveaboard experience. Chef Mario is outstanding, and Natty, Alex, Fahmi, and Ketuk are true standouts in the world of liveaboard crews—there’s no one better! We dive around the world on liveaboards multiple times a year, and when our destination is the Coral Triangle, we choose only the best. It doesn’t get better than the Arenui!

Great boat, great crew!

Everyone did a great job helping each other and working as a team to get us diving, eating and sleeping, keep it up! Love chef Mario! Great job accommodating every food choice and so much yummy food everyday

Captain Sam, Natty, Alex, and the entire crew were great! I had an awesome time and can’t wait for my next trip. Everyone took such great care of us, with special mention to Kadek, Ketut, Arian, Toyeb, Mario and his team, as well as Arief and Dino. Natty and Alex were the best cruise directors—their enthusiasm and excitement for diving were infectious. They made the trip exciting, informative, and always interesting. Thank you for a fantastic trip, you are all awesome and I had a great time, sampai jumpa lagi!

The crew and boat were the best-top shelf, first class! Everyone was extremely kind, helpful, and good-natured. The food was absolutely incredible!

Everything was outstanding, of all the places I've been, the crew here is the best! Everyone is very attentive, enjoyable and kind. Super appreciate everyone for such an amazing experience. Natty and Alex are the most incredible cruise directors and the entire crew goes above and beyond in every regard. What a beautiful boat in a beautiful place with incredible people!

The coffees, sunsets, clean cameras, dry towels! Hot chocolate, smiles app appreciated by the crew! There are no words to describe this adventure, just one word: HEAVEN! Thank you for everything you did for all of us!! Thank you to my dive master, 100% class, and to all the beds made, chocolate on pillow, and to the captain for keeping us safe!

Natty is the best cruise director we have eve experienced on over 30 liveaboards! Great wine list, Mario is the best chef!

Thank you for the special care you give to your guests, I felt so pampered! Thank you for helping me become a better diver, for my tidy and clean room, and for the amazing care from Fahmi, Natty, and Alex. And thank you to Mario for all the wonderful food—my whisky sour was great!

This was my fourth time as a guest on the Arenui over ten years, and it was just as luxurious and memorable as the first time on board. Mario and his team create magic in the kitchen, and absolutely every crew member makes the Arenui the best liveaboard. Indonesia offers the best diving I’ve experienced anywhere in the world. Tiau was our divemaster and he was fantastic—we really enjoyed diving with him. His friendly attitude, knowledge, and skill are a great addition to the team. We’d love to come back!

The crew could not be any better, always helpful and smiling, a true pleasure, thanks to all! The food was also delicious!

What an incredible experience! This was my third liveaboard (and my first on the Arenui), and the experience was completely unmatched! The crew, diving, boat, and food were all spectacular. I had many memorable dives and saw several animals for the first time, thank you so much! Amazing boat with excellent food, Chef Mario and his team were exceptional! All of the crew were professional and friendly, with special kudos to Fahmi, Natty, Arief, and Mario!

Loved Natty and Alex—they were always ready to make adjustments when needed. Chef Mario’s creations were amazing! Arief and Dino were outstanding, always ready to serve us, and Fahmi was such a joy to be around. He and the others were quick to help when we had equipment issues. Thank you to the Captain for getting us safely from one place to another, and to the tender drivers and crew boys who were always there to assist, especially when we needed the extra help. The cabin boys kept our rooms nice, neat, and clean. This is also the only liveaboard I remember offering mixed drink options, and the cinnamon rolls after diving was dream come true!

Loved everything about the boat! Everyone worked so hard and knew our names—everyone was very friendly. The food was excellent—I couldn’t wait to try the next meal! I want to thank all of the crew for their exceptional service. A special thank you to Alex and Natty. I’ve had back and knee surgery in the past year and a half, and they knew it would be difficult for me to keep up with the other group. They gave me and my wife extra care, which was a true blessing

I cannot think of a single way to improve the experience—long life to Arenui and its  crew! This was my first liveaboard experience, and I was amazed by the adventure. Two words for the food: quality and abundance. As a snorkeler, I never felt that the crew put me apart, and the staff were always smiling. I had a good feeling of what Indonesia has to offer, and it was great. Many thanks!

I hope many people get the chance to experience the Arenui Boutique Liveaboard—this is not goodbye, but au revoir! The diving was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It’s not just a boat, it’s a five-star floating hotel. Generous portions, many thanks to Chef Mario! Fahmi asked me to say he’s the best dive master—and you know what? He is! And on top, a fabulous entertainer

An experience of a lifetime—we truly feel like family with the staff! We felt loved and cared for on a whole new level. WOW—I didn’t expect this much service, attention, and care. I absolutely loved the scents of the clothes, shampoos, and towels—I’ve never experienced anything like this. The diving was beautiful, with a passionate, generous, and devoted crew. Chef was amazing, and I will miss the kindness and love from the entire team. I know I’ll cry when I leave!

It was a last-minute decision, and I don’t regret the incredible trip! Thanks to everyone—everybody was exceptional, always with a smile :) Special wow to the chef team, and the snorkeling team was wonderful as well!

Very nice liveaboard—the best I’ve ever done!! Everything was perfect. Mario is the best chef ever!! The information sessions with Natalia and Alex were great, and Fahmi was awesome! Diving in Alor was perfect, what a beautiful country!

Arenui was our first liveaboard—and now we’re spoiled! The shower products were wonderful, and Chef Mario is amazing. Kadek was great, Dino is the man, and Arief is an absolute delight—so, so sweet!

The boat was beyond excellent! We really appreciated the option to choose half portions of both dinner entrée. Loved the lunch desserts, and also the lighter dessert options with dinner. The entire crew was exemplary! Tiau is the best dive master we’ve ever had, and the cruise director was fantastic. We especially loved the special treatment on the dive deck and tenders! Overall—loved, loved, loved the trip! We would definitely do it again!
