Magnificent cruise
The boat is very comfortable, with enough room for everyone without having to stay in the cabins or feel on top of each other. The dives were excellent and the dive director adapted the last dives to give us more chances to see mantas (which had remained too discreet until then), with success!

One of those trips you’ll talk about for years
My wife and I have been on quite a few liveaboard trips but the Eliya was definitely one of the best! The dive team was a big part of that. Max, Carolina, Amanda and Adie are simply top-notch: professional, attentive, and always in good spirits. The dive site planning alone was amazing: flexible enough to adjust to currents or avoid crowded spots when other Liveaboards showed up. Above and below the surface, we always felt we were in good hands. Not only the dive guides but the whole crew made this trip what it was. Warm, helpful, and never anything but friendly, no matter the hour. Special mention to the cook, who somehow delivered outstanding meals three times a day and never seemed to run out of ideas. We left with full logbooks and a lot of great memories. Terima kasih banyak! 🤙🏼

Wonderful Komodo liveaboard trip on Eliya
I had a great time on Eliya as a solo traveller, making new friends from around the world. The experienced dive team made sure that everyone had the best dives possible and were always on hand for anything. The vibrancy and abundant life on some of the healthiest reefs I have seen in the past 20 years or so, made the trip unforgettable.

Great trip
My husband and I had a great time diving with Elysa. The vessel is solid and well maintained, with plenty of comfortable common living spaces for guests to relax between dives. The food was abundant and tasted very good throughout the trip. Most of the staff were friendly, professional, and hardworking. However, the initial dive master assigned to my group was noticeably hostile toward us, which made us feel quite uncomfortable during the beginning of the trip. Thankfully, the crew was able to accommodate a change and arranged for another dive master to guide us, which significantly improved our overall experience. Aside from that issue, we truly enjoyed the diving and appreciated the efforts of the rest of the crew.
