Amazing experience with Kira Kira
This was my first Liveaboard and it really exceeded my expectations! The diving was absolutely incredible and the dive guides, Engel and Yetno, were some of the best guides I’ve ever had. Also the food onboard was just INCREDIBLE - best food I’ve eaten in Indonesia. The whole vibe on the boat was so lovely and warm and in the end we all were just one big boat family, and it was bittersweet to say goodbye. I would definitely recommend Kira Kira and hope to join them next again for Raja Ampat.

It was an incredible trip with Kira Kira.
They are really thoughtful, and take good care about customers. Everything is organized. The boat is very clean and comfortable. All the boat crews and dive guides are always laughing, polite and showed us the wonderful underwater world. We enjoyed a lot and didn't want the trip to end.

Wonderful
Wonderful ! 5 guests, 6 crew members plus 2 dive guides. Wow :-) Dive guide selected sites and time, and drop off point for each dive perfectly. This is extremely important for complex drift dives or sites like both of the Rocks (crystal and castle). Discuss and agree your own preferences at the beginning of the safari. For example, if you are a group of experienced divers who prefer excellent drifts, then just ask. Our group was kind of mixed, and we had good drifts, one night dive, and then two dives South. And we were extremely lucky to see Mantas at some unusual places (eg not at the Manta cleaning stations). Plus for two evenings two Mantas were flying around our boat. Yahoo! Of course, I can not guarantee that you will be as lucky as we were :-p

Great briefing on dive sites and guided dives, felt safe and well looked after
We loved that this was a small group which meant it had some room for flexibility. We all got along well so that made for a fun trip. Alex our dive guide was so amazing with dive briefings and diving. He was also very patient when we all wanted to have a go at the wakeboarding which meant having to drive the boat in the hot sun for 4 hours one afternoon. The boat was basic, but had the necessary things for comfort. The bean bags on the deck was fantastic place to chill out between dives and enjoying sunrise and sunset. Double cabin is lovely on the deck, you get a beautiful breeze, and you can enjoy the view but have to admit a bit annoying with the low ceiling after knocking your head a few times getting in and out. It is not private in that the whole cabin faces the deck where people hang out and also occasionally crew sleeping. They have curtains so its manageable.

Great boat, great crew, great experiences - 100% recommendation
The liveaboard with Kira Kira was unforgettable! Starting with the guests and the shared conversations and experiences, to the crew, who were anxious at every second to offer us a great time. Overall, we had a consistently positive atmosphere on board. The boat itself is 1:1 as described. It is very well maintained and maintained. The dive sites, especially around Misol, were great, although the corals around Waigeo are unfortunately severely affected by climate change. Nevertheless, we could admire various shark rays, huge schools of fish and manta rays. We were 8 guests on board, 6 of them Scuba Divers divided into 2 Dive Masters. Yetno and Marci guided us through their underwater home with top equipment and a lot of experience. The tour was rounded off with a joint beach BBQ on the last evening and made the trip an all-round highlight! Highly recommended!

Kira Kira exceeded our expectations!
Stepping on board you're immediately welcomed and made to feel at home by Richard and his crew. Cabins are comfortable and the shared facilities work well. It's an intimate boat with no room for "egos" and that was perfect for us. With a total of 7 nationalities on board it gave everyone the chance to really mix and get to know each other. Their flexibility on the route ensures the best conditions for everyone as they catered for snorkelers and divers of all different levels and we were really happy with the dive sites and the guides knowledge. The heart of the boat is the lovely Lea and her kitchen where she and Ali continuously produced way too much amazing food paying attention to everyone's dietary needs. It was impossible to leave hungry! The journey was broken up by brilliant island visits, jungle trecks, lagoon views and beach BBQ's (more food!) Great boat and we can't praise the entire crew enough. A perfect combination of attentive, polite, helpful, fun and a little bit crazy!

KiraKira is the best Liveaboard around
Komodo is without question one of the best dive areas in the world. The amount and variety of fish is amazing! For your own sake and that of your fellow divers, dont do a liveaboard until you are comfortable with boat diving, drift diving, and buoyancy. But once you are, Komodo is a must. Diving in an aquarium with warm water. The corals are so varied in shape, type form and colour, it is breathtakingly beautiful. Snorkelling is amazing (sometimes better than diving). The KiraKira is the best Boat for people who do not want to dive staccato 4 times a day but want to enjoy the diving without hectic and stress. Dive sites are well chosen, always with regards to currents and local conditions. Safety first. If the dive site seems "crowded" we rather moved to a different spot and came back to that one later. You still get to see all the main things on the list such as Mantas and turtles and sharks and Nemo fish. The crew are local and well connected. Amazingly friendly. They sing and play guitar, joke around and make this trip truly enjoyable. The owners, two Brits, are far-travelled and have plenty of stories to tell, if asked. The chef is amazing! Thanks to her, think I gained 3 kg on the trip.

Epic Adventure in Komodo
Kira Kira just was dry docked renovated in May of 2025. Amazing 20 dives in Komodo mix with a few off shore excursions. The food was amazing. Amazing guest and crew, the budget friendly self-selects great people. But be ready for room- temperature showers and no-ac rooms. They do have small fans installed in the rooms. I had issues with mine. I highly recommend if youre seeking adventure without hotel comfort, and want some really good hearty food.
