Its going to be hard to go back to the real world after having such a wonderful experience on the Arenui! Full service all the way!!! We had such a compatible group of passengers and crew! Couldn’t have asked for a better trip!
The entire crew was so very friendly and helpful! I know there are many people/crew members we barely saw, but their quiet behind the scenes activities are greatly appreciated! Thank you so much – Nothing could have been improved upon!!! Thank you!!!

This is my first time staying on the liveaboard in my life. I had a really enjoyable experience and really liked the group I talked with. Service was excellent, food was great and everyone was really nice. I really appreciate Fery, Alex & Saoirse were willing to dive with newly certified and nervous divers and make sure they felt comfortable in the water. I am generally not a fan of living on a boat but I would say I would only be willing to stay on a liveaboard if it’s the Arenui. Thank you for the awesome experience!

We would dive anywhere with this boat!! See you in October for Komodo-Alor. A special thanks to our wonderful divemaster Ronald. He took me under his wing and let me into so many wild and exciting adventures! Personal encounters with sea snakes, hooking into the currents waiting for the action to begin, and swimming into the center of the biggest school of barracuda I could ever imagine. Wow! It was epic. Boat: the boat was very clean and comfortable at all times. It is very well organized. Diving: we especially enjoyed the adventure and discovery aspect of the Forgotten Islands. It was fun to feel we were in such a very remote area. Crew: EVERYONE of the crew was top notch!! The training and preparation really shows throughout the complete trip. Lisa and G make a great team together as cruise directors. All the crew was a pleasure. Food: best food on any liveaboard! The food was creative and tasty! Thank you for the beautiful artistic carving for my 300th dive! We also appreciate the nice wine list 🙂

Lisa and G are the greatest!! And Idy was an awesome dive guide. This was our second trip aboard the Arenui and it was exceptional. We have since booked more trips in years to come. Every single member of the crew has made us feel comfortable, safe and tremendously happy. There is attention to detail and meeting the needs of every guest, all while providing a breathtaking view of the beautiful underwater world. All the dives are led by knowledgeable divemasters with keen eyes and the ability to highlight the creatures unique to the area/dive site. The chefs and kitchen staff prepare delicious meals and provide wonderful flexibility for those with specific dietary needs. The Arenui not only provides its guests with a truly awesome diving experience but it also provides a relaxing retreat from a busy world. A heartfelt thanks to every member of the Arenui team for offering us such a memorable vacation!

I’m looking forward to many more trips with the Arenui and the crew! Boat: excellent. The crew does an exceptional job with details. Always ready to assist any guest need, from getting coffee to a warm towel after diving. Diving: excellent. I had to rent a BCD due to my error. I loved the rental and will be buying one when I return. Lisa worked very much on trying to get me the proper weight and buoyancy. She was a delight to dive with. She made everyone feel at “home”. Crew: the crew is one of the best I have seen on a liveaboard. Again they made sure all guests were happy and always asking what other thing they needed or wanted. Food: Outstanding quality and variety of food.
