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!

Arenui was our first liveaboard—and now we’re spoiled! The shower products were wonderful, and Chef Mario is amazing. Kadek was great, Dino is the man, and Arief is an absolute delight—so, so sweet!

The boat was beyond excellent! We really appreciated the option to choose half portions of both dinner entrée. Loved the lunch desserts, and also the lighter dessert options with dinner. The entire crew was exemplary! Tiau is the best dive master we’ve ever had, and the cruise director was fantastic. We especially loved the special treatment on the dive deck and tenders! Overall—loved, loved, loved the trip! We would definitely do it again!

A great week! Experiencing a new part of Indonesia (and the world) from the Arenui was incredible—the remoteness, the beauty, the people, and the diversity, an the two land tours were great! Everyone onboard worked together as a team and all of them seemed to really enjoy their job. Can’t wait for the next trip on the Arenui!
