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 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!

Diving in paradise
Thank you so much to the amazing crew on Kira Kira - all the Indonesian crew were amazing - from the captain to the cooks to the dive guide Hans! A once in a life time experience diving with these guys in Komodo national park. They truly strive to make your experience a good one; making sure to dive where there aren't crowds, pointing out the rarest of sea creatures and to find the things you want to see. All whilst cooking amazing authentic Indonesian meals every few hours between dives. They also make time for short trips to the Komodo islands for insane sunsets and a chance to see a Komodo dragon with your own eyes. Honestly the warmth we received from the crew made the experience a forever treasured memory of mine. Hans, our dive guide prioritised safety, each dive briefing explaining the things that would ensure the safest and rewarding dive. He even managed to squeeze in a night dive at our request which was awesome; octopus, cuttle fish, frog fish, and so much more, active and hunting at night. And of course manta ray during our day dives! So magical. I unfortunately lost my GoPro during this trip, and the staff went to all lengths to help me look for it. Even though we didn't find it, I can honestly say that I still loved the trip and felt very much cared for at each step. The rooms were sufficient, complete with an actual hand painted painting hanging on the wall. The cabins had 3 little fans that helped keep you cool at night. Its not fancy but it has all the things to build an incredible, memorable diving trip if you are passionate about diving into the natural abundance that is Komodo National Marine reserve. Don't hesitate to book with these guys - I'm looking forward to hopefully diving again with them, but back to Raja Ampat next time! :) Thank you again crew of Kira Kira! Take care, Elizabeth :)

Awesome cruise!
Superb cruise to Rajah Ampat aboard the Kira Kira. Everything was perfect, the proposed itinerary allowed us to discover the best spots in the center and the south (Misool). The extra activities were also very good. Between 2 and 3 dives per day, not too much, not too little. Special mention to the barbecue on the beach to end the stay in style. We appreciated being only 8 divers on the boat, it allowed us to create bonds and the atmosphere on the boat was great. The food was excellent and varied throughout the stay. The cabins and sleeping accommodations are rustic but this did not impact our overall experience. This cruise will remain the best moment of our 2 month trip to India.

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.

Amazing crew, amazing trip, amazing experience.
The whole trip was perfect. The cozyness of the boat, the absolutely 5-star cooking, the light atmosphere all the time on the deck, qhere the whole crew was always laughing and having a great time, the people that came along on the trip... The diving was amazing, great current (and great experience with it!!), and the sunsets nd sunrises over the sea... Couldn't have wished for a better crew, boat, people, or vacation in general... Wish we could stay for much longer..
