Guys, thank you very much for the lovely experience. You work together like a puzzle, that’s why you see our happy faces. Will miss you.

Seriously … I have zero complaints. Everyone and everything is appreciated. The way the dive groups were put together was outstanding! We began this trip with such apprehension as we’d heard such great stories and thought the trip couldn’t live up to our expectations. It did, plus some. The reef explodes with life and some of it is rare. If you think you’ve “done it all” you have not until you’ve done Raja Ampat on the Arenui.

A fantastic trip. Thank you to everyone for making it so.

I have already signed up for the same trip again and also for Komodo (2 trips). G and Lisa are the perfect cruise directors, easy-going, fun, careful and very skilled. Together their defined the experience we had, showing enthusiastic leadership and attention to safety. I hope they are on the Arenui when I am next onboard. Boat: We were in Shinta – The wall hanging is beautiful. Diving: Sorong to Sorong via Misool and Gam Island is excellent. Tender drivers were very helpful. Crew: Everyone was very attentive. Lisa was an excellent cruise director and she also was my dive guide. With Lisa I was able to relax because I trusted her. She jumped overboard several times until she found what she considered an ideal entry point for starting each dive. I enjoyed her enthusiasm! Food: All excellent. The food servers were great.
Heidi
Boat: All excellent. Crew: All excellent. Lisa is hands-down the best cruise director I’ve ever encountered – from the initial introduction to boat procedures to dealing with medical emergencies to swapping problematic divers and guides, she handled EVERYTHING perfectly and professionally. Food: All excellent. Really appreciate the way you accommodated this strict vegetarian – first liveaboard I’ve been on that I didn’t experience running low on protein midway through the trip!
Darrell and Nancy
Outstanding experience. We were very lucky to paired with another couple that was super great divers/photographers. We learned a lot! Boat: All excellent. Diving: All excellent. Super!! Crew: Best crew of ANY liveaboard we have been on (15 liveaboards). Joni was the perfect guide. We had a lot of FUN with him. Lisa and G were great cruise directors. The food was fantastic (too much!!). Stewards were fun and very professional. Captain kept us safe! Food: A+++
Ronald
We will plan another trip with the Arenui. Crew: Lisa and G are outstanding. Lisa is the best diveguide I’ve experienced in years. Greatly appreciate her knowledge and enthusiasm. G could not be more pleasant and helpful. They made the trip for me, with help from a very good boat.
