Highly recommended!
Very knowledgeable crew making sure that everyone on board was safe and well taken care of. Schedules adapting according to sudden weather changes or divers conditions. Seamless organisation the moment we landed in the airport all the way to the boat and back to the airport. We also appreciate the crew and company’s clear prioritisation of safety and sustainability very much. Our crew director Luke also made sure that our every need was well taken care of.

Komodo is really still a great diving area and the Eliyas is a pretty boat with a very good price-performance ratio

Unforgettable Liveaboard Experience on the Phinisi Eliya
Exceptional service, professionalism of the crew made me feel genuinely cared for both on deck and underwater. As a refresher diver, their commitment to safety and vigilant support enabled me to dive with peace of mind.

Great dive experience over multiple sites
I’ve always wanted to do a live aboard - and this trip exceeded my expectations in terms of locations , dive guides , food and set up - very much focused on creating and delivering an excellent dive experience For me after a long break from diving was given opportunity to get comfortable and reignite diving skills Excellent reefs , colourful corals hard and soft , plenty of ready fish , sharks, turtles and while I missed out on the manta did see dugong and dolphins

Awesome.
The crew where really good and attended to every detail. The boat was in tip top shape with everything working and plenty of room for everyone. Food was awesome. One of the best dive boats ive ever been on. The only let down was most dive sites in Komodo where crowed underwater and could not help but think it was the reason why at times we saw little to nothing. No reflection on the crew or the boat thought and we did get some exceptional diving in and an awesome experience.
