Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Diving in paradise. Thank you so much to the amazing crew on Kira Kira - all the Indonesian crew were amazing - from the captain to the cooks to the dive guide Hans! A once in a life time experience diving with these guys in Komodo national park. They truly strive to make your experience a good one; making sure to dive where there aren't crowds, pointing out the rarest of sea creatures and to find the things you want to see. All whilst cooking amazing authentic Indonesian meals every few hours between dives. They also make time for short trips to the Komodo islands for insane sunsets and a chance to see a Komodo dragon with your own eyes. Honestly the warmth we received from the crew made the experience a forever treasured memory of mine. Hans, our dive guide prioritised safety, each dive briefing explaining the things that would ensure the safest and rewarding dive. He even managed to squeeze in a night dive at our request which was awesome; octopus, cuttle fish, frog fish, and so much more, active and hunting at night. And of course manta ray during our day dives! So magical. I unfortunately lost my GoPro during this trip, and the staff went to all lengths to help me look for it. Even though we didn't find it, I can honestly say that I still loved the trip and felt very much cared for at each step. The rooms were sufficient, complete with an actual hand painted painting hanging on the wall. The cabins had 3 little fans that helped keep you cool at night. Its not fancy but it has all the things to build an incredible, memorable diving trip if you are passionate about diving into the natural abundance that is Komodo National Marine reserve. Don't hesitate to book with these guys - I'm looking forward to hopefully diving again with them, but back to Raja Ampat next time! :) Thank you again crew of Kira Kira! Take care, Elizabeth :)”
Recommended for: Healthy nature reserve with abundant ocean life. Great, safe dive guide. Yummy authentic Indonesian food.
