Such a beautiful boat—this trip was an absolute delight! I’ve never eaten so well on a vacation, and I’m going to miss the pastrami so much! You are all such gracious hosts—thank you for everything. At first, I wasn’t used to having my kit set up for me, but after seeing your care and expertise, I was able to relax and appreciate it. This was truly a trip of a lifetime. I knew it would be wonderful, but you have all completely exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much for this gift!

Outstanding dive boat—the best I have ever experienced on any dive trip! The food and service during all meals were incredible, with Dino and Arief standing out throughout the trip. The crew was highly professional, service-oriented, friendly, and accommodating. The dive masters were exceptionally professional, extremely safe, and always attentive

Very comfortable and roomy, beautiful woodwork and details. Amazing diving! Loved the dressing and undressing for wetsuits. The staff were the heart of Arenui, delivering friendly and professional service that anticipated your needs before you even articulate them. They truly make you feel at home on the water contributing to the overall experience and enjoyment of the trip

After our first trip with Arenui in 2016, we’ve never done another liveaboard—it’s simply unmatched. We like the diving in Raja Ampat; the variety of sea life and ease of diving are unparalleled. The staff is fantastic, and the food is excellent. Thank you for another unforgettable trip! The remodel of Shinta was wonderful. The food was varied and excellently prepared. As always, everyone was incredibly helpful and willing to answer all questions. The divemasters and cruise directors were very accommodating to individual divers’ needs. Fahmi was extremely entertaining (and helpful!), while Andy was quieter but fantastic at spotting things for us. Good sites!! We’ve never seen so many turtles, wobbegong sharks, and giant mantas on previous trips

This was by far my favorite dive trip! It made my retirement celebration absolutely fabulous. The boat was fantastic, and the camera setup was the best I’ve ever had on a liveaboard!

I had a great experience! As relatively new divers, we learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed the process. It was my husband’s birthday during the trip, and I asked Arief if Mario’s team could write ‘Happy Birthday’ on his dessert plate. This simple request turned into a beautiful birthday cake and the crew singing Happy Birthday. It was absolutely amazing and priceless—thank you for doing that extra effort!! The facilities were incredible, and we were so impressed with the quality and variety of meals. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Andy was a fantastic divemaster who tailored the dives to our interests and had an amazing ability to spot the coolest fish! The Misool area was our favorite—I could have stayed there much longer and thanks for lending the lights after ours fell in the ocean!

I love vacationing on the Arenui! First, Nat and the staff are such high-quality people—always so attentive and thoughtful with amazing attention to detail. The staff truly goes above and beyond. The diving is always the best in the world! The food was beyond delicious with such great variety, and I really appreciated the half-portion options for smaller appetites and to avoid waste. It gets better each time you’re on the ship! The toilets were always clean, and the beds were perfectly made!

Excellent all the way around. No issues with anything related with the boat or crew, no request to that they would not find a way to accommodate

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and will definitely dive with Arenui again! The destinations were awesome, and great operation overall. The crew was amazingly helpful—I didn’t even have to take off my own fins! The food was amazing, and the boat, along with its amenities, was beautiful throughout

Arenui never fails to exceed my expectations, it’s just as spectacular and beautiful as the first time I boarded her in 2016. Mario is an outstanding chef—the diversity of flavors and quality is unmatched. This is my fourth trip, and it’s just as memorable as the first. The food and selection were exceptional! The teamwork among the crew was fantastic—teamwork truly makes the dream work! I absolutely loved the dives on this cruise, with so much diversity to explore

This is our fourth trip to Indonesia, and the Arenui is by far the best of the best! We won’t be sailing on any other boat from now on and will highly recommend it to others. It couldn’t have been better—bravo! The experience truly exceeded our expectations.

We've been on seven liveaboards before, and this one had the best food by far. The boat was fantastic, and the staff were outstanding. Every dive was excellent and as effortless as diving can be. The massage staff were amazing. No complaints at all!

The boat is absolutely beautiful, and I loved all the personal touches and decorations. Everything was both practical and useful. The cooking crew was amazing, offering so many alternative vegetarian options! Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. The crew is 5 stars!! I felt safe and well-guided throughout the trip. It was my first time in Indonesia, and I will definitely be back. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

What a great operation. Team worked very well together. We can hardly wait to get back here, the divemasters are awesome and always tried to find you what you wanted to see. I would not think of booking any other liveaboard in this part of the world other than THE ARENUI! You have spoiled us and our travelers. Well done!!!
