Slept like a baby. Espresso Machine J. Outstanding customer service. The anticipation of needs and quick action on our behalf. Preparation and briefings were appreciated. Ferry was the best dive master I’ve ever had. I’ve had good ones in the past but he is superior. I can’t thank all of the Arenui Staff enough but am so grateful for their attention to detail and my comfort. Onsite massage is a double plus.

The uniqueness and history of the Arenui added to the memorable experience. Even traveling at night in rough seas gave an authentic feel with the wood creaking softly and the gentle humming of the engines. The only reason I had trouble sleeping was from excitement to be on board. A very special thank you to the Chefs for keeping us full all week. Even on the last day, we were served a delicious fresh salad and vegetables. There were always new flavors to try each day. I was especially impressed when the Chef rearranged the menu to accommodate a special request for Cheeseburgers one night. I will never forget smelling the fresh buns baking that day. The Arenui Crew was amazing. It was like magic that they kept everything running so smooth. The service was outstanding! All of their hard work is what made our experience so enjoyable. We are eager to book another trip because of them! Really enjoyed the variety of dive sites. Ronald was an excellent guide. He helped find many creatures and often multiple subjects at the same time to keep each diver/photographers occupied. One of my favorite part of diving was hot cocoa and hot towels after a night dive.

Best Liveaboard I have ever been on and best crew! Cruise Directors were exceptional and the crew were the best I have ever come across. Marine Biologist Jose was a brilliant addition, fantastic talks and such enthusiasm. Steve was the best DM. Top notch Food & Beverage.
Bob

Excellent boat! I have only once or twice experienced service like this. Quite exceptional from the directors to Steve, Mario, Kadek and room boys. The fact lies they seen so happy laughs and smiling. I loved having a Marine Biologist along. Jose was great. By far and away the best dive boat I have been on. I believe that a happy ship is a reflection not just of the capital spent but on the leadership and Kai is clearly exceptional as is Jose, which added hugely to the enjoyment. Our guide Steve was also brilliant.

My cabin was great! Amazing food; loved the fresh fruit and veggies each meal. I loved Jose’s talks and could have more. Great to have him on board and brought more value to dives. The loved photo contest; loved looking at Jose’s photos and getting the hard drive, great idea! Also, guys on the tenders were awesome. Mario and Kadek were amazing.

Could not ask for a better second trip on the Arenui. Fantastic trip. Saw a couple of average reefs but for the most part great. Food and Beverage: too great and ate too much.
