The Ikan Biru can house up to 8 guests. The boat has two guest bathrooms with hot freshwater showers below deck. The onboard chef serves freshly baked bread every morning, which he makes in the fully stocked kitchen. Upon request, the Ikan Biru can cater to specific dietary requests. The spacious upper deck is the perfect place to relax between dives in the daytime. In the evening, it is set up as a comfortable dining area. At night, the comfortable mattresses and bedding make it the perfect spot for guests to keep cool while sleeping under the stars, dreaming of all the incredible wildlife they’ve seen.
Thanks to its one-of-a-kind “hop-on, hop-off” concept, you can board the Ikan Biru for 3-12 nights, allowing you to explore the region as you see fit. Two dayboats are ready to take you to land when you wish to disembark. The Ikan Biru only accepts Advanced Open Water divers, or you can get your AOW certification and other diving courses on board. While aboard the Ikan Biru, you can dive three times a day, sometimes more. This lets you visit the best sites, such as Manta Point and The Cauldron.

Amazing experience with fantastic dive guides AK and Afhend, lovely crew, and cozy facilities!
We were so well taken care of by the dive guides AK and Afhend, as well as the crew members! They were not just super knowledgeable and experienced, but also really fun and friendly. The dive sites were gorgeous, briefings were thorough, logistics were well-organised, and food was delicious and abundant. It was comfortable and a cool experience to sleep in the open air. I liked that the group size was capped at 8 guests with an advanced certification required, so relatively small group with similar diving levels. 100% recommend!!

Best dive trip ever
This is a great crew and really fun boat. The sleeping up on the top deck in the open air is so nice and peaceful, and not stuffy like inside a cabin. The food was spectacular every day, you will not be hungry. And the diving is some of the best I’ve ever done in my life. Incredible, healthy, diverse, and dense reefs with soooo much life. I would love to come back on the boat. One of the best things was AK, the dive supervisor, guide, and leader on the boat. She is an amazing person and made the trip even better. Highly recommend Ikan Biru!

Amazing diving, food and atmosphere.
AK, Aphen and the rest of the crew were amazing. It's a small boat limited to 8 guests, which we found very nice and intimate. You sleep on the deck and not in an individual cabin, which, if you don't mind sleeping in an open space with other guests, is really nice and peaceful. The bed was really confortable. Food was amazing! The diving was the best we ever had. Beautiful corals, a lot of action and the currents were really fun!

Pure happiness on the boat, big thanks to Aplonia, Afhen and the rest of the crew!
I loved our crew, they took such good care of us and made the perfect team. Komodo national park is stunning, so beautiful. The activities were perfectly balanced, active but also time to chill and enjoy. Such a great atmosphere on the boat, I loved every second of it.

Best diving trip so far
I had the best diving experience ever on this ship. Dive sites were out of this world, beautiful reefs and mantas. Also got to see the Komodo Dragons! Great guides, crew and food. Can't go wrong, would definitely recommend.

Magical experience, friendly staff, knowledgeable guides, and great value.
All the colour and diversity of the corals and fish and other animals on the reefs. Turtles and mantas!! And just the beautiful landscape of the islands all around is breathtaking!!

- The dive guides take you to amazing sites and spot so many things to see that I would have missed. The staff take care of everything, the gear, the food, setting up beds. Sleeping on the top deck is an added bonus, very comfortable space with the stars above (there is a roof, don't worry), and sea breeze, while nice and cosy in bed, and because there is no need for air conditioned cabin, the engine can turn off at night so you can listen to the water.

The only way to experience Komodo
You get a big variety of dives - drift, strong current, chill reef dives, divers marine life, and night dives. You will never be hungry and the food is awesome. The staff (guides and crew on board) were top class. Sleeping on the deck was refreshing and really nice. Would definitely do it again.

Unforgettable immersion in the heart of Komodo
We had an exceptional experience aboard the Ikan Biru, four days of diving and sharing that will remain engraved in our memories. Each site explored offered us its share of wonders: the majestic mantas of Mawan welcomed us in their graceful ballet, while the Komodo current in Siaba Kecil offered us an unparalleled adrenaline rush. The Cauldron, on the other hand, was a dive as spectacular as it was formative, a real learning ground for lovers of the current.The multicolored corals, the sharks present on almost every dive, and the richness of underwater life made each descent an adventure. Ricky, always taking care after each dive, was able to make the experience even more comfortable and reassuring. And our group... What a great energy! Everyone contributed to making each moment a precious moment, between mutual aid, smiles and shared wonder.A huge thank you to the whole team for this magical interlude. The Ikan Biru is not just a boat: it is a floating cocoon where passion, professionalism and conviviality are mixed. See you soon for new bubbles!

Great liveaboard!
We had a wonderful time on this liveaboard. The dive suites were comfortable and well-equipped, and the guides provided clear briefings that made us feel confident in the water. The boat itself was more spacious than we expected, and overall it was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience.
