Debbie and Jerry are great leaders. They knew just when and how hard to push us to do things. When we leaned toward snorkeling, Jerry encouraged a second scuba dive at Manta Sandy and the dive was mind blowing. We heard birds of paradise were in the area and they encouraged us to trade a dive for a spectacular walk. The birds were so inspiring I imitated them to make an underwater proposal! So now I’m getting married and you’re partially to blame! Thank you. The boat – unexpected and great to have the 2 iMacs to review photos and transfer files. The diving – Debbie and Jerry are so well organized, no wasted motion. The food – the expense of alcohol was well explained.

Best liveaboard I’ve ever been on. This crew is superb. We will be back! The boat – what a gorgeous boat. I am spoiled for any other. The diving – diving was amazing. The briefings were thorough and so helpful with the graphics. The crew – I cant say enough good things about the crew. The service we received was 5 stars – out of this world. Every little touch was thought of and every need or desire attended to with a smile. Plus, they are wonderful, fun people to spend time with. The food – the food was excellent, and I probably gained 5lbs this trip to prove it.

Don’t miss the swim trip through the caverns. The caverns are enormous and full of stalactites and stalacmites. Bats swoop around the ceilings. Make sure Debbie shows you the secret cavern which you can just barely squeeze into through a secret passageway. An awesome excursion. The crew – very friendly and helpful crew. I enjoy the performance and dancing last night.

This crew is truly service orientated. The happiness factor is off the charts high starting with the two Cruise Directors and throughout the crew. Your Debbie and Jerry are true assets to Arenui. They set a tone that is infectiously happy to all. The boat – Wow! From the craftsmanship to the décor, all the attention to detail is visible and appreciated. Safety concerns were always addressed and appreciated. Cleanliness factor is uber high – very impressed with all aspects – cabin, restaurant, etc. The diving – wow thank you for showing us amazing dive spots. am impressed about communication between boats so groups take turns at locations. It makes us feel we’re the only ones in the location! (which we usually were!) Briefings – great video presentations! Rental equipment – my own mask cracked in travel but rental mask even better than mine! The crew – oh my! Bravo! Brava! The truly personalized service was really felt. I felt all crew knew me by name, which made me want to know them all by name. So good you have the computer monitor flashing all the crew and their names! Food was excellent – so many choices! The food – as mentioned above, food was excellent, fresh and in huge ample quantity. Keep it up!

We play liars dice. We have ended up teaching many of our travel buddies. Bayu, who will have an amazing career in the tourism industry, was involved first just as our wine getter. Then he became our ‘pit boss’. His quick wit, quiet demeanor but funny stabbing commentary kept us laughing hysterically. The entire Arenui crew was perfect for our group – warming over the trip and realising even with language barriers, that we could be teased and we would tease back – loved this trip!
