We have traveled all over the world and staying in luxury hotels and I’d put Arenui up against any of them. The staff goes beyond the call on EVERYTHING! We’ve already booked our next trip to come back. PERFECT!!! Thank you. The boat; excellent facilities that lend themselves to a luxurious, relaxed atmosphere. The diving; there are no words to describe just how AWESOME and DIVERSE the diving in Komodo is!!! The diving; warm, funny, kind and catering is how I’d describe the entire family on the Arenui. The food; yum, yum, yum! Eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, dive!! Phenomenal food at every seating.

Even though this is the only liveaboard I’ve done I don’t think I would ever go on another unless it was the Arenui! An unforgettable and amazing experience. I’m really going to miss the crew! The diving; Wawan was an excellent dive master and really helped me improve my skills! The crew; everyone was amazing. The whole crew went above and beyond to make sure we were always happy! Tony and Anto were very attentive. Wayan and Arta were always helpful too!

Overall the trip was excellent. The crew is terrific. Our DM Wawan was fantastic. He really made our trip a wonderful experience, especially for Kelly. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Arenui to anyone! The most outstanding feature of this trip was the crew. In every department they went above and beyond in their efforts to make our trip enjoyable. Debbie and Jerry did an outstanding job in making sure everything seemed effortless to us while we know this in itself is a true skill.

Second trip with Arenui (Raja Ampat, March 2012). This trip was great. Weather conditions created a problem, staff turned around the itinerary to create a good trip. All dives were awesome. The boat; very efficient layout. Top deck rocks! The diving; wetsuit in good condition. The crew; very helpful, friendly and nice! Great Facebook page by Debbie. The food; great food! Excellent veggies and salad.

The early part of our Komodo charter was challenging due to weather. Debbie and Jerry did an awesome job of researching where the best diving would be and getting us there. They kept the guests updated every day so everyone was informed. The crew; the divemasters worked hard to find interesting things on each dive the tender drivers were always there to pick us up when we surfaced after each dive. The stewards treat each of us like royalty. The food; the chefs are spectacular! Preparing five meals a day cant be easy and they make amazing great food every meal.
