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

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.
