The crew’s attention to guests and the service routines were excellent—I wish you had a second boat! The cruise directors are the cherry on top—truly incredible people. Great equipment, and no hassle at all with clothes and gear

I am 79 years old and have been diving since 1968—and this has been my best diving experience!
I was very impressed with the boat—can’t think of a single way to improve it. The staff were not only highly competent but also seemed to genuinely enjoy their work—fun, courteous, and always helpful. Excellent food and fabulous diving!

For those who haven’t been on the Arenui or a liveaboard before—we’ve had the time of our lives and appreciated every moment. We will be back!
Every person on board has been fantastic, always smiling and incredibly welcoming. You never feel like you’re putting anyone out by asking for something. The boat is beautiful, with amazing attention to detail—you can really tell how much care went into creating it. The variety and choices of food onboard are great for everyone!
Laura
This has been a trip we’ve been looking forward to for years—and we’re so happy with the experience and are definitely considering the Arenui for future trips to Indonesia.
The cruise directors, crew, and divemasters were outstanding. Without a doubt, the crew was one of the most amazing parts of the trip—so helpful, friendly, and a joy to be around.We enjoyed every meal, every day, and loved the daily meal descriptions. Really appreciated the flexibility with portion sizes too.
Thank you for a fabulous trip!
Andy
What came out of the kitchen was five stars—the best dining I’ve ever had at any dive resort or on any liveaboard!
The camera handling was excellent. Having Kadek rinse, dry, and return my camera after every dive with such care and thoroughness was amazing. I so appreciated Ketut washing and hanging my dive gear, I will be booking a trip or two in the future, thank you!
Gary
It was a splurge for us, but after being here, we would absolutely do it again—and we hope to!
The attention to detail and the personal touch of learning everyone’s names truly puts the crew over the top. Taking only one group out at a time is SUPERB, and having help peeling off booties and wetsuits is the BEST! Real maple syrup was an outstanding touch of luxury!

The entire crew was incredible—always smiling, laughing, and in a great mood every day. Such a fantastic experience!
Saw so many incredible fish, especially the mantas! This was my second time in Indonesia, and it was even better—I saw more fish and had a great dive master who catered to me, making for a calm and enjoyable week of diving
