Highly recommend for groups
My first liveaboard dive trip and it is a great one. Ariyal boat is so new and our staff are kind/our dive guides (especially my group DM - Wish, hope to see you again soon) are also very professional/helpful. We were assigned with a group of Spanish guests, they showed how wonderful if you are travelling as a group.

A great ship and its crew even more so!!
A great trip!!The staff is wonderful, the boat is spotless, the food is delicious and the dive spots are great. The diving instructors care a lot about the dives being wonderful and that we can enjoy them and see as much marine life as possible. It was a great ship where the attention is 5 stars, the room is better than a hotel and the common areas are great. I can't say anything bad. Everything was very good!! I'll be back!! Thank you Ariyal Team!!

Awesome boat. Fantastic crew. Great diving.
The Ariyal is a beautiful boat with plenty of space even with the maximum divers on board. Great diving, warm water. Highlight of the trip for us was the manta night dive.

First time , but will definitely go again
I had an excellent time on this liveaboard. The boat was very comfortable and spotlessly clean, making the stay relaxing and enjoyable. The dive guides were outstanding – highly professional, with clear and detailed briefings that gave confidence before every dive. Even though it was the low season, the dive sites were incredible. We were lucky to enjoy amazing sightings of sharks and manta rays, which made the experience truly unforgettable. Overall, a fantastic trip that exceeded expectations

My best ever liveaboard at Maldives
Aside from a day or two of less favorable weather due to the off-season, the trip overall was extremely satisfying. The condition of the boat and rooms was excellent, and the crew members were so friendly that by the last day, it almost felt like saying goodbye to family. I’d love to come aboard again if I get the chance.

100% recommended
It was our first liveaboard and it was a spectacular experience. Both the boat and the people have been amazing. The dive boat is spacious and very comfortable. The food was very tasty and varied. If you come in the rainy season the visibility will not be very good, but the marine life is still amazing. A highly recommended experience!

Great trip!!
The boat is really really good! Everything looks new, the room is amazing, clean and spacious. The boat is huge, even thought there are 23 guests, there are plenty of spaces to move around and chill. The dive guides are good and professional, I love the dive briefing slides that they made. The food is good too, so much things to eat every day. The diving was great too, the dive boat with the tanks are big and spacious too. Overall diving is good but can be better, I will come back again to Maldives!

Dreamy Maldives trip, highly professional boat, exceptional diving !
I had such a wonderful time aboard the Ariyal, the trip from start to finish was professional, comfortable, and lovely. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to cruise the Maldives and experience exceptional diving. All of the diving was exceptional, we saw hammerheads, tiger sharks, bull shark, nurse sharks, spinnner sharks, lemon sharks, guitar sharks, mantas, nudi branch, pipefish, eagle rays, mobula rays, and so much m ore!!! The dive doni and the Boat crew on the doni we’re very professional and made he diving fun, helped set up, breakout, and clean all equipment after every dive so you can go on enjoying the sun. The food was well prepared and plentiful, the cabins were very comfortable spacious and the bed was super comfy. Other activities they have on board, paddle boarding, wakeboarding, fishing, tubing, drinking (ha!), and other fun activities. Overall 10 out of 10 trip would highly recommend!!! Shout out to the Capitan Ibrahim who went above and beyond to make the trip perfect, he truly cares about the quality of the trip and the safety of the passengers on board his boat!
