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!

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!

Mario and the kitchen team are amazing! I haven't been the slightest bit hungry this entire trip

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!

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

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

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!

The crew was absolutely first class, couldn't find fault in anyone! Chef Mario is a master and so are all the kitchen team

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

This was my last trip—after 20 years, I’ve decided to close the chapter on my diving experience. I greatly appreciated how flexible and accommodating you were with my food restrictions. Muchas gracias, terima kasih :)

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!

Food and staff were everything! All the staff made us feel so welcome—like friends and family. The level of service is truly top-notch and unmatched by any other liveaboard! Thank you to everyone who made our stay so enjoyable and memorable. The food was beautifully presented with nice flavors!

Loved the diving—beautiful Indonesia! The boat very comfortable and roomy.  The crew was focused and making sure we had a great time and we did!! Chef Mario and his team were magical in the kitchen!

verything was superb! The cruise director was informative and kind, and honestly, the entire crew was first-rate. Most greeted passengers by name, and everyone was so friendly—they always made me feel welcome. Mario and his team’s selection of food, variety, and presentation were fabulous! Hope to see you again soon!

Thank you for a memorable trip! We truly appreciate all your hard work—from the delicious food and clean staterooms to the excellent dive guiding, boat driving, and taking care of our equipment. And to the BEST cruise director on any liveaboard—thank you! We love you all and hope to see you again soon!

This is a truly lovely ship with an exceptional crew, delicious food, amazing dive sites, and a great welcoming feel. It’s clear that everyone works crazy hard. The artistic design of the whole ship is stunning, and the food is truly amazing—so much creativity and absolutely delicious! Thank you for a great week!

All the crew members were fantastic, food was amazing, loved it all!!!!

Repeat customer, and I have no complaints—service was outstanding. The crew were especially responsive to extra support needs, going above and beyond their duties to attend to every detail. Rooms were always clean and tidy. Special kudos to the cruise directors, divemasters, and crew for all their attention and support. Loved the boat!! The food was outstanding with great variety and choice

The boat was just as I remembered it from 6 years ago. The staff of Arenui runs like a well-oiled operation—always helpful, cheerful, and full of positive energy. The diving was even better than expected, and the food and service were the best I’ve experienced at any dive resort

The ship is beautiful, the cabins are pretty and comfy, and the food was fantastic—beautifully presented. Arief was the highlight of the trip! Natalia and Alex were awesome, and Fred took great care of us underwater. I loved the diving—so easy, and I didn’t have to lift a finger. What service! This trip was on the higher end of my budget, but absolutely worth it. I truly hope I can come again sometime!

Great crew—everyone really took the time to get to know me. There was a great variety of food offerings from start to finish. This was my first trip to Indonesia, and my expectations were high and the destinations were beautiful!
