Highlights
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.

Superb experience!
Superb experience! There are no cabins on this boat, everyone sleeps on the upper deck: it's much more comfortable than a cabin and you have air. Everything was well organized and clean. Thank you to the whole team and especially to AK!

You can survive without a cabin for 3 nights
I was a bit dubious about not having a cabin but it works quite well for a trip of this duration. The upstairs area is a large living area between 8 people during the day and at night it becomes the bedroom. Because there are no cabins, the generator goes off at 10pm and it's actually so peaceful and quiet on the water with the generator off. I would highly recommend the Ikan Biru to solo travellers and families alike.

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 liveaboard in the Komodo area !
This was honestly the best thing I did in my whole 3 month around SeA. AK was the most amazing guide and always prioritised safety on every dive. The food was exceptional and the crew were so lovely and welcoming.

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 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!

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.

One of the best experiences of my life.
The four days at the Ikan Biru have been spectacular. The crew is very friendly, the food is amazing and there is always a lot prepared, they even welcomed us some day after diving with a delicious freshly made 🥹 brownie. The boat is beautiful and comfortable, you sleep great on the mattresses and the rest area during the day invites you to share experiences with your colleagues, which by the way, I was very lucky, since I was traveling alone and I met a group of wonderful people. We had a great time both during the dives and during the rest of the time. The only downside is that a bath and shower for 8 people may fall short, although you can also use the shower on the deck which is what I did most of the time. Diving equipment in good condition, and our guide AK did a spectacular job. The briefings were very detailed, and during the dive she was super attentive at all times, both to teach us things about the macro, and to advise and help us, since some of us did the Advanced with her. In short, an unforgettable experience that I will surely repeat in a short time.
