Thank you dive masters for showing us all the good stuff. Can’t be any better!! Simply amazing!! Thank you for the extra pillows and fresh towels. Wow! Outstanding! Extra thank you’s to the chef and service… Amazing. Go Natty and Alex and Rocky. Fabulous! Amazing! Thank you for all the extras and personalized service. Everyone together, made this experience more than memorable. Thank you. Our 12-day dive trip on the Arenui in Raja Ampat was absolutely exceptional! From start to finish, we were surrounded by graciousness, kindness, and superb service that set this experience apart from any other. The crew was outstanding, professional and incredibly attentive from sun up to sun down. The dive masters and the rest of the crew made sure each dive was memorable. We also enjoyed all the land excursions. Arenui is more than a dive boat… it’s an unforgettable experience defined by world-class hospitality and heart

Top notch at everything. Will be hard to get on any other vessel. First off this boat is run from the top down w/ tone and professionalism set by Natalia and Alex. They’re incredible!! And the crew makes the hard work look effortless. They make us feel like family or old friends. Honestly, this boat sets a high bar. This crew, its cohesiveness, and leadership set by Alex and Natalia set the bar high and should be an industry standard. This boat feels like family and first class at the same time. I’d come back here trip after trip. Thank you!!!

The boat itself was amazing. Beautiful cabins and plenty of space to relax without feeling crowded. Beautiful dive sites! You can tell that the cruise directors and divemasters know the sites well. So much food! Great selection all during the day. We loved the Soto Ayam! We had two birthdays and the cakes were beautiful and delicious! Natalia and Alex were phenomenal. So invested in their travelers' experiences. All crew was extremely attentive! Our travelers loved this trip. Well worth the long flights. Alex and Natalia have an attention to detail that is second to none. The crew made us feel like good friends. Can't wait to come back!

We’ve done a lot of diving and Fahmi is the best divemaster we’ve ever encountered. All of the guys were great and boy do they have creature ID down. The guys went above and beyond to cater to my very picky diet and helped me figure out what to eat every day. They are the best of the best. There isn’t a single person on this boat that does not go above and beyond. We cannot express how truly wonderful they all are. Alex and Nat are wonderful and you should do everything in your power to keep them as long as possible. Arenui crew is the best of the best! Thank you guys for everything!

I am so happy and so sad to leave. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Natty and Alex have become dear friends! They are the spirit of this boat after Komodo and Raja - they are parts of my core life memories. And Fahmi too! He is amazing!!

Love the boat and detail. Best liveaboard food I’ve had and best diving I’ve had in years. Comparable to what I saw 20 yrs ago in Borneo! Couldn’t ask for a better crew. Fantastic trip! Entire staff were so friendly and helpful. Pretty much the only liveaboard I’ll travel on if the destination is available, thanks for a wonderful trip!!

Everything was amazing and we had high expectations. Natty and Alex went above and beyond to hunt down a camera bag that got stuck in Jakarta and somehow arranged for it to appear from another boat. Way above expectation. This is a great crew and well run ship - thanks 5 stars. Best food we have ever had. We aren't sure how the chefs did it

Love the diving! Very easy getting on and off the tenders. Love the various "hang out" spaces on the boat. Love the A/C throughout the boat as well. All personnel were professional, courteous, friendly, fun and very helpful. Dive guides Tien, Fami and Jacky were awesome and great guides. Nat and Alex were fantastic!! Chef Mario and team were amazing! The best food on any liveaboard! Thank you! Again - the food was amazing!! Thanks Mario!

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!

The boat accommodated our every need—it’s well laid out and provides every comfort. Everyone—and I mean everyone—was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful in every way possible. Table service and the stewards’ help with dive clothing were truly over the top. Absolutely excellent service in every area, in every way. The diving was spectacular! The briefings were perfect, the dive masters were excellent, and the boat tenders were incredible—no complaints at all. The chef and crew delivered an incredible menu with a wide variety of perfectly cooked meals. We really enjoyed the originality and deliciousness of every dish!
