Superb Liveaboard
We did the 6D5N Komodo liveaboard. They boat is clean and the rooms are very spacious. The crew was very friendly. The schedule was set perfectly, balancing dives, activities and rest time. Komodo is spectacular, but even better on a liveaboard. It is best to bring your own equipment if you have it. Make sure to let your dive master know your preference as they are great at tailoring dives for you. Lovely trip & highly recommend Neomi.

Sensational tour with a magnificent marine life
A perfect tour from start to finish. The crew, the dive guides and the catering were excellent. The dive sites in southern Raja Ampat and in the Banda Sea were great. There were almost no other divers at the sites, perfect visibility and the corals were in perfect condition. We were able to see hammerhead sharks, manta rays and much more. The cabins were much more comfortable and spacious than on many other dive boats. We would book the trip and the boat again at any time.

Wonderful liveaboard with a great crew at an affordable price.
Our overall experience was excellent. The crew catered to our every need. We had one non diver with us that was provided daily snorkeling on beautiful coral reefs. Nyoman who is the director is truly the best dive master we have dove with. We had dove in Raja Ampat with him 10 years ago and wanted to dive with him again. It was every bit as good as the first time. We can’t wait to back to Neomi!

The crew was wonderful. The dive guides were excellent and they know the best places in Raja Ampat. Every dive was truly spectacular.. Food was delicious and plentiful.. The boat was very clean and comfortable. We had an upper deck cabin with king size bed and a private balcony. Lots of light with big windows..

Experience of a lifetime in special Raja Ampat!
Diving with reef sharks for the first time in my life was an experience I will never forget. To be equally treasured were the close-ups of manta rays gliding right in front of us. Wobbagong Sharks on multiple dives. Amazingly lucky to see and watch the Raja Ampat Walking Shark on a night dive, for about 3 minutes. The range of coral and marine life in general was breathtaking. Lovely fellow guests on the Liveaboard. Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff and crew. While the vegan food was very good, it could have been improved slightly as on occasions there were only some snack choices for non-vegans. I would definitely dive and travel with the Neomi team again! Thank you so much :)

Neomi: the best crew for a dive into paradise
I would like to sincerely thank the entire **Neomi Cruise** staff for accompanying us on this unforgettable week. A special thanks to **Nayomi**, our super instructor and official motivator with a daily bell, always able to push us into action even when our energy was running low! And to the whole dive team, always patient and efficient — **Erik, my personal lifesaver!** Thank you to the captain, the skippers and the engine crew: always smiling, professional, and with impeccable cleanliness on board. A huge compliment to the **kitchen team**: it’s not easy to satisfy demanding Italians when it comes to food… and yet, you absolutely nailed it! **see you at the next adventure!**

The dive sites (Komodo trip) are amazing; but what makes the trip wonderful is the crew and our dive lead who are as attentive and fun as they can be. The boat is new and in good condition. Our room is spacious and has a private balcony which really is a big big plus. We love it so much we booked the second trip already with them.

Incredible Biodiversity with Some Room for Improvement
The Highlights My time aboard the Neomi in Raja Ampat was overall a fantastic experience. The underwater biodiversity was staggering, and seeing such healthy, vibrant reefs was a true privilege. The "human" element of the trip was also top-notch. The crew were incredibly friendly, helpful, and provided excellent service throughout the journey. I also found the food to be very good and well-prepared. Having said that, the accommodations and options seemed to be limited for anyone who is gluten free. To top it off, the camaraderie among the guests made the trip truly memorable. Points for Consideration While the trip was great, there were two areas that impacted my experience: Environmental Impact: I was disappointed by my dive guide’s behavior underwater. There was an extreme amount of unnecessary touching of corals and disruption of marine life just to provide us with a better view. As a diver, I would much rather miss a sighting than see an animal agitated or its habitat damaged. I hope the operator can address this with their staff to ensure more sustainable diving practices. Boat Noise: On a structural note, the boat was exceptionally creaky. While expected to some degree on a wooden vessel, the noise level was quite noticeable throughout the trip. Summary Despite these issues, the Neomi offers a wonderful way to see Raja Ampat thanks to its stellar crew and the magic of the location. If the dive guiding becomes more conservation-minded, it would be a perfect five-star experience.

Really beautiful diving in Central Raja Ampat aboard the Neomi. It’s a comfortable, spacious boat with a great crew. Dive groups are small (max four divers per guide), and the dive guides were competent - although note that some dive sites can have challenging currents. Gorgeous coral and abundant marine life.

Exceeded Expections, wonderful Diving & very comfortable accommodations.
Exceeded Expectations ! Loved leaving out of Fak Fak and diving Pisang Island an unexpected surprise, with beautiful reefs, tons of fish & critters. Misool was gorgeously seductive with pinnacles that boasted Mantas, schooling barracudas, batfish, Sharks, Humphead wrasse, trevally, fusiliers, Mackeral & Soft Coral forests teeming with marine biodiversity. Currents were minimal and weather was sunny with very little rain. Dive Deck was top notch ! Itinerary was well planned. Crew was outstanding ! Loved the food and my cabin was cosy & with good mini split ac to rest in with a nice big attached bath. This ship was a gorgeous stable Phinisi & the crew put out the sails for us on the last day:)

Best experience in 15 years
Truly exceptional - I can’t be too positive about my experience on Neomi and it was by some distance my best liveaboard in 15 years. It was exceptional from start to finish and in every dimension. I guess the crew can’t take all the credit for the dives. Sharks on every dive- hunting or sleeping, Octupuses, manta, snakes, Nudis, but they knew where to be when and my dive guide Bawa must have eyes on the back of his head. He doesn’t miss a thing. Every member of the crew made me feel at home and so well cared for. Generous, attentive and all with a smile. The food was great and always plenty of it. My cabin was bright, clean and had pristine sheets, a powerful shower and was cleaned daily. I was travelling alone and shared the boat with the owner, Mr Ronnie, and his beautiful family. It was wonderful to be treated like part of his family all week. There is so much more of Indonesia to explore and I will definitely be booking with Neomi.

Great indonesian cruise
Liveaboard Dive Cruise Review – M/V Neomi (Indonesia) The cruise aboard the Neomi was, overall, a highly positive experience, fully meeting expectations in terms of hospitality, comfort, and the quality of onboard services. Customer care was exemplary: the entire crew demonstrated unfailing courtesy, availability, and a genuine service-oriented attitude. The cabin offered a high level of comfort, and hygiene standards – both in the accommodations and in common areas – remained consistently excellent. This had a significant impact on the overall quality of the stay on board. Some critical aspects are worth reporting. Although functional and comfortable, the Neomi showed a particularly limited cruising speed, which is presumably linked to the age of the vessel. This resulted in very lengthy transfers – in some cases exceeding 15–18 hours – which inevitably restricted the number of dives that could be carried out on at least two days of the itinerary. While the route itself implied considerable navigation time, the actual slowness of the vessel, especially in comparison with similar past experiences, had not been fully understood in advance. The dives were all very beautiful, varied, and of considerable interest. Nevertheless, an additional area for improvement should be highlighted: the entire diving schedule was managed from support tenders rather than from the main vessel. In principle, this approach is correct, as it increases flexibility and allows for more precise positioning on dive sites. However, due to positioning inaccuracies and occasional organizational shortcomings, the drop-off point did not always coincide with the optimal entry location. As a result, divers were at times forced to fin against the current for prolonged stretches – an unnecessary effort that detracts from comfort, especially when diving from small tenders where exact positioning should be ensured. Communication and dive briefings The most significant structural limitation of the cruise concerned communication. The crew’s command of English – including the Cruise Director and Dive Master – was markedly limited, despite their evident commitment and positive attitude. This shortfall had a direct impact on the quality of dive briefings, which were often essential and lacked sufficient verbal detail. It should be acknowledged, however, that the dive sites were illustrated with very clear and accurate drawings, which were genuinely useful for planning. Still, a stronger focus on developing communication skills remains, in my view, a key priority to secure more comprehensive and professional information delivery. The cruise on the Neomi remains, overall, a valuable experience: the high quality of onboard services, the attention to guests, the impeccable cleanliness, and the beauty of the dives are undeniable strengths. A few elements – particularly cruising speed, accuracy in positioning support boats, and the crew’s language proficiency – represent clear improvement areas which, if addressed, would significantly enhance the overall standard of the offer. With a limited number of targeted measures, the Neomi has all the potential to position itself as a benchmark liveaboard experience in the Indonesian region.

Amazing trip
I had an amazing trip in Raja Ampat with Neomi. The boat is very nice and spacious, with great cabins. The staff is absolutely lovely and go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and happy throughout the journey. The dive sites are simply incredible truly a great experience. My only disappointment was with Liveaboard.com. I booked this trip back in October for March, and as I live in Dubai, when the war started and the airport closed, I immediately reached out to them to understand what options I might have if I couldn’t travel. Unfortunately, I received no response to three emails. I eventually had to contact management through social media to get an answer, which was limited to informing me that Emirates flights were resuming or asking whether I had travel insurance neither of which really addressed my situation. I have been a loyal customer of Liveaboard.com for nearly 10 years and have booked most of my trips through them. However, this experience has made me reconsider for future bookings. When unexpected situations arise, you need a travel partner who supports you not one who ignore your messages.
