Local staff gives us insight into local culture. Crew is simply superb! Enjoyed both Jerry and Debbie’s enthusiasm for diving that helps to keep us in the spirit. The food – healthy with lots of fruits and veggies. Great presentation.

I enjoyed to be on this Komodo to Ambon cruise on Arenui Liveaboard so much. A big thank you to get my own cabin because a couple left the boat. The diving – the crew has a very good knowledge about the dive sites and to find beautiful fish. The food – everything was very delicious

I mentioned to Bayu it would be great to know what ingredients were in the salad dressing and green bean recipes. At the appointed time Putu appeared with trays of fresh vegetables all chopped, small dishes of spices and bottles of olive oil and white wine vinegar. Move over Martha Stewart! I was touched that with all the magic Putu and the other galley staff had to do, he took the time to not just talk to me but demonstrate his cooking. This is another point of detail from our memorable adventure aboard Arenui. The boat – our cabin was Shinta. Waking up to first light at 0500 was a great beginning to each day. The bed is very comfortable and I was thrilled and knew right away when there were soft and hard pillows. I like soft and Ralph likes firm so win win. The diving – dive guides extremely knowledgeable and amazingly can find a tiny critter I can hardly see intertwined in a soft coral. The crew – This was the best dive trip we have been on. The attention to detail was incredible and didn’t falter for one second. Debbie helped me so much with my underwater photography. I have a G10, and how cool is it to selfishly steal her away multiple times for lessons! The food – I ate all vegetarian food and the variety was as extensive as the regular menu. How am I going to cook for myself now?!”
