Best days ever! Must do!
Our stay on Ikan Biru was some of the best things we have ever experienced! We loved every second of it. From how extremely well looked after we got from the whole crew to the amazing dives we were able to experience with our guides! We absolutely loved how the boat offered everything we needed and still we lived a very simple, slowing down life. It was the perfect start to our honeymoon. We have been relaxed ever since we set foot on our beloved boat and wish for everybody to experience it themself!

Unforgettable liveaboard – perfect pairing of boat, crew and diving adventures
The liveaboard was an all-round unforgettable experience that went far beyond just diving. Even on board, it felt like a floating home – with a crew that looked after us at all times and a kitchen that spoiled us with incredibly delicious food.Real highlights awaited under water: the exciting drift diving in the Cauldron, a spectacular night dive with fascinating encounters in the dark, as well as varied spots that could be explored safely and impressively thanks to the expertise of the guides.There were also unforgettable moments on deck + the magical sundowner on Gili Lawa, where the group ended the day in a harmonious atmosphere. In general, the super matching group made the trip something very special - laughing, diving and marveling together rounded off the experience perfectly.

Great dives with all-round service on a beautiful boat!
When you book this boat, it is clear that you have no privacy. But within the scope of the possibilities, they got the best out of it.You sleep really comfortably and well. The whole safari, from service on board to the dives, is super well organized. The two guides Harold and Tom were great, very professional. The service was great, the crew took care of us all and read every wish from the lips. The food was also really delicious and varied. We did really great dives and saw so many manta rays, turtles and sharks. Unique! I highly recommend this trip!

Great liveaboard option when you're on a budget
I had an absolutely amazing experience on Ikan Biru. All the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The boat is a basic budget option, nothing fancy, but it was still a totally nice ship, well maintained and comfy. Of course you don't get a/c and much privacy, but it's not geared towards that crowd. We had plenty of space on the ship, the food was great and the diving was a lot of fun. I just wished that our DM pointed out a little more stuff, especially of the smaller kind. I'm able to see the sharks, rays and turtles myself, but I don't know where all the macro is, if I'm not familiar with the dive sites. Other than that it was a perfect trip. I can totally recommend to book with these guys!

Amazing dive sites with really beautiful and healthy coral reefs. The dive guide was really great at helping us navigate the dive sites and the currents and conditions. The liveaboard had the most amazing food and the crew was lovely and constantly taking care of us. Had a brilliant trip!

Expect to have the time of your life on this liveaboard
An unforgettable experience which I would do again in a heartbeat. Don't be put off by the common sleeping quarters. The upper deck has more than ample space for the number of guests onboard. When they set up the mattresses and bedding at night, I guarantee that you will have as good a quality of sleep, if not better, than if you were sleeping inside a cabin. You will be well fed (if not overfed). The ship crew, consisting of a cook, his assistant, a boat engineer/carpenter, a master of navigation, a tender boat operator and a bosun, are all cool people and do their utmost to give you the best experience possible. As for the main reason for going on a liveaboard, the diving is some of the most spectacular you will ever do. Ikan Biru will cover all of the top dive sites in the national park's north and central regions over the 4 days. The dive guides are open to specific requests if within their means...while it wasn't on the original trip plan, I made the request at the beginning of the tour to dive at Tatawa Kecil and the request was granted the following day. An entertaining dynamic between the duo of French and British dive guides, but clearly a good working partnership between two people who take their jobs seriously. Their in-depth knowledge of the local tidal conditions means you will reach dive sites at the best times and when sea conditions are most favourable, and in most cases when nobody else is there! One of the trip's memorable moments came while filling in my logbook in the kitchen quarters at night, listening to the two guides seated next to me planning the itinerary for the following day, and hearing them discuss tides and currents as if it were science.
