Excellent food, excellent service! The best part of Arenui is the team—always enthusiastic, kind, and cheerful. The diving is absolutely top-notch, and the service is extraordinary.

Such a beautiful boat—this trip was an absolute delight! I’ve never eaten so well on a vacation, and I’m going to miss the pastrami so much! You are all such gracious hosts—thank you for everything. At first, I wasn’t used to having my kit set up for me, but after seeing your care and expertise, I was able to relax and appreciate it. This was truly a trip of a lifetime. I knew it would be wonderful, but you have all completely exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much for this gift!

I will compare all liveaboards to the standard you have set—I hope they measure up! Loved everything, especially the perfect breakfast setup. Special mention to Mario, Dino, and Arief for providing the best service. Fretz was amazing and so patient with us! This was my first liveaboard experience, and it’s been the best dive trip of my life so far. I hope to return to the Arenui in the future. Great staff all around, and a special shoutout to our Canadian cruise director!

Very comfortable and roomy, beautiful woodwork and details. Amazing diving! Loved the dressing and undressing for wetsuits. The staff were the heart of Arenui, delivering friendly and professional service that anticipated your needs before you even articulate them.

I will never forget the food! I’ve never been one to take food pics, but I needed to remember these—works of art! Delicious and healthy. It’s evident that all crew members genuinely enjoy their jobs (or if they don’t, I couldn’t tell). Any issues were handled quickly and efficiently, and the crew exceeded expectations by over 200%. I really appreciated Cruise Director’s technical dive training and knowledge, and Fahmi is the best dive master I’ve ever had—careful, cautious, and fun! I’m going to miss him. The experiences with the groups and tenders will be cherished memories. I also loved the fun greetings and send-offs each time—it keeps the good joy alive!

An amazing experience for our first liveaboard! We’ll definitely be recommending Arenui to all our friends and family who dive. Only positive feedback for the boat and crew—absolutely beautiful and very well maintained! The kitchen was incredibly flexible with accommodations and did an amazing job with a surprise birthday cake. Nothing but great things to say about the food and beverage quality, variety, and quantity. The crew was exceptionally friendly and attentive. They went above and beyond by observing each guest’s personal routines and proactively anticipating requests with remarkable accuracy. Everyone was also very knowledgeable and approachable, which we truly appreciated. The dive briefings, complete with detailed dive site sketches, were the most thorough we’ve ever experienced and the boat is beautiful and well kept!

This was an incredible experience, beautiful boat and the staff thought of everything! I came here with my family, but I’m going to save money and try to come by myself sometime in the future. I had a wonderful time. The most beautiful diving I have ever done. I had a great time getting to know the staff and plenty of delicious food all day. Very talented kitchen staff

I loved being on the Arenui! I am blown away by everyone who works here and their incredible work ethic. I knew the Arenui dive sites would be amazing, but the staff is truly extraordinary. Thank you for everything! The diving team did an amazing job taking us to beautiful sites and keeping us safe the entire time. Absolutely incredible crew—everyone goes above and beyond and works so hard. I especially loved the video at the start introducing the crew, including the members we don’t see every day. I’m so grateful for the room boys and the chocolates on our beds and the food was delicious! I haven’t eaten so well in my life

Wonderful wine collection and amazing food variety and taste! The crew was beyond amazing! Always had a smile and always willing to help with everything. Many thanks for all the help dressing and undressing from dives! I have kept a brochure for over 10 years dreaming of this trip. It was worth the wait!

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and will definitely dive with Arenui again! The destinations were awesome, and great operation overall. The crew was amazingly helpful—I didn’t even have to take off my own fins! The food was amazing, and the boat, along with its amenities, was beautiful throughout

This was our third trip—Raja in 2013, Komodo in 2019—and once again, the experience was outstanding! The food was by far the best we’ve ever had on a dive trip. The service just keeps getting better, and we really appreciated all the help with swimsuits and wetsuits. The tender crews were fantastic as well. Our bags were delayed, so we used rental equipment on the first day, we were so encouraged to see such healthy reefs—some of the best in the world, in our experience. The crew is always the best, and Mario and his team are nothing short of amazing. Mario had better still be here when we come back next time!

Wonderful food and fantastic hosts! Mario made yummy food and went above and beyond. Areef was always on top of anything you could possibly need, and Dino kept us entertained with great stories and served up delicious coffees! The crew worked so well together—special thanks to Fahmi and our tender crew, Kadek for the wonderful massages, and Ketut for all the help after diving!

Arenui never fails to exceed my expectations, it’s just as spectacular and beautiful as the first time I boarded her in 2016. Mario is an outstanding chef—the diversity of flavors and quality is unmatched. This is my fourth trip, and it’s just as memorable as the first. The food and selection were exceptional! The teamwork among the crew was fantastic—teamwork truly makes the dream work! I absolutely loved the dives on this cruise, with so much diversity to explore

The boat is absolutely beautiful, and I loved all the personal touches and decorations. Everything was both practical and useful. The cooking crew was amazing, offering so many alternative vegetarian options! Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. The crew is 5 stars!! I felt safe and well-guided throughout the trip. It was my first time in Indonesia, and I will definitely be back. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
