Incredible diving experience
A wonderful trip. The crew were amazing. The diving was fabulous. We saw so much marine life. I enjoyed having the option of non-diving excursions too.

Remarkable trip/dive safari.
They know the currents and are very experienced. I have a large camera setup so they advised me of the current situation prior to each dive. One area near unesco site had thousands of fish and was the most remarkable site. We saw plenty of mantas in relatively clear water for nice photographs. Chef was very good lots of tuna sashimi and tartare, yoghurt, fresh fruits, fresh bread, eggs for breakfast. Diving from the zodiac was easy.

- The diving was remote and remarkably beautiful. There’s some good currents so this is for an experienced diver. Lots of beautiful fish. Several species of butterfly fish seen everywhere in large groups. Many many sharks as. Small group. 4 guests and 3 crew.

Amazing crew, diving and boat. Loved every momment.
Amazing... I can't say enough how awesome the crew and diving was. Greg was such a good captain and super hard working. He has everything so organized and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves. (He even cleaned all the oyster shells that everyone wanted to take home... very labor intensive!) Daisy was an AMAZING cook, and our dive guide, Tom, was super chill and seemed to attract all the fish. I can't say enough about how awesome this crew was, and how much their teamwork made our trip. MC was not our guide, but she also was awesome.

A journey that stays in the heart! One Family at Aqua Tiki!
From the very first step on board, it was clear that this trip would be special. Greg, Victor and Poe are the kind of crew you could wish for: warm, attentive, humorous and full of passion for what they do. From the first moment there was an open, relaxed atmosphere in which you simply feel comfortable.The dives were simply spectacular. Whether in the middle of huge Schools of Fish, surrounded by sharks, elegant manta rays and impressive Napoleons, every moment underwater was pure fascination. And Remoras regularly came by to say 😉 hello for a moment. Each dive was intense and different, full of energy and life.An unforgettable moment was in Fakarava South. After a dive, Greg spotted a group of dolphins at the pick-up. A short time later we sat in the dinghy and spent a lot of time with a large dolphin family. It was a special experience to experience these animals so closely, without any hurry, just in the moment.Kauehi was also a highlight. The lagoon, the light, the silence and the dive spots had a special atmosphere that is difficult to put into words. Together with Fakarava North and South, the result was a perfect combination of adventure, nature and proximity to the sea.Even though we couldn't head for Toau because of the weather, the route was just perfect and every minute was an adventure.Between dives, there was always time for what really makes a safari: eating together, laughing, talking and enjoying. Evenings with sunset and a cocktail on deck were just as much a part of it as the many small moments in between that you don't plan but that remain.This liveaboard was coherent in every way – personal, close and genuine. Greg, Victor and Poe have made a home out of a boat on the Pacific. A big thank you for that.One Family. One Ocean. One unforgettable experience. 🌺🌊🤿

An absolutely awesome experience!
This was an unforgettable trip, and this was at the very top of the line thanks to the excellent team at Aqua Tiki II, who spared no effort to make us feel comfortable, make our stay as easy as possible and make this trip an absolutely great experience. The welcome and service on board was excellent, the dives prepared and carried out with great professionalism and in a very pleasant atmosphere, and the navigation and the stay easy thanks to an absolute mastery of the sea and navigation conditions. This is not my first liveaboard, but by far the best I have done so far, and I can only warmly recommend this boat and this team!

Trip of a lifetime
Everything we hoped for and more. This is a great expedition with some exceptional diving. Lots and lots of sharks, napoleon wrasse, big schools of barracuda and Jack fish. The underwater topography adds to the experience with a mix of drift dives in the passes and reefs. The crew were excellent and the boat is very comfortable. Sailing between atolls in 25kts of wind was a real treat.

A lot of fun on a nice boat.
Visiting the villages close to where we were moored was fun. Diving was good and visibility was generally very good - not particularly memorable diving compared to other destinations. The ship prepared meals were excellent and hostess was very friendly. Having whales and dolphins swimming around the pass we were moored in was cool. Captain was friendly and accommodating. Excellent trip, even for my non-diving wife. We will book another trip with the Aqua Tiki company in the future.

Excellent diving & a fantastic crew
We had a great time on Aqua Tiki II. We have been on 10+ liveaboards around the world ... Captain Greg was by far the best captain we've had ... he is the absolute backbone of the Aqua Tiki experience. The rest of the crew (Tika, Leah, Jeremy & Guillaume) were all fantastic too. The diving was excellent (constant sharks, lots of manta encounters, great drifts) and all well planned and very safe. Food was plentiful and good. Greg took us on some nice little side trips to different motus. We were lucky with the weather (very calm) but the trips between atolls can be rough - take sea sickness tablets. Things to note ... There is no Nitrox - it is all Air diving. There is no AC, but we found the fan and open hatches sufficiently cool. Being a catamaran, the rooms are tiny and the beds are not the comfiest, all rooms are ensuite though, with good showers. Bring ear plugs the electric toilets / waterpump can be noisy if used in the night! We really enjoyed our trip and would definitely recommend this liveaboard. Just be aware that, if you are used to some of the very luxurious liveaboards in the Maldives and South-East Asia, this is a different type of liveaboard - it's lots of fun, fab diving, great service but it's a much smaller boat. But we would definitely come again.
