Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Geoff and Deb10 contributionsJust back from a week long snorkeling trip and 5 stars sums it up for Dylan and the crew ( more staff than guests), amazing food, good wetsuits and gear and everything in Raja Ampat: multiple snorkels daily at varied sites, kayaking through a bay of postcard islets, climbs to the classic viewing spots, Island visits, swimming with turtles, black tips and mantas.Written 15 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brett RBrisbane, Australia1 contributionI have done several trips with Expedition Engineering now and have found Matt and Angela to be very professional and considerate in the planning and execution of their expeditions.
Prior to Covid, I had the pleasure of joining them on three exploratory trips, one each to Raja Ampat, Kamchatka Peninsula, and Alaska. Being self-supporting camping based exploratory trips, both Matt and Angela went to extraordinary lengths to research these new areas, access local equipment and knowledge, engage professional local guides, provide nutritious and tasty meals, and ensure participant safety was always at the forefront of everything they did. With these trips being exploratory in nature, there were always unknowns and not everything went to plan, but Matt and Angela’s experience came through every time with their extensive preparation and knowledge providing effective solutions to keep the journeys on track, and all participants safe and engaged.
While sadly I have not had the good fortune of joining them on any expeditions recently, I look forward to being part of their adventures in the near future when the cost of flights drop to a level that makes long distance travel affordable again. I cannot recommend Expedition Engineering enough if you are looking for an adventurous journey in some of the most spectacular and remote parts of the world.Written 10 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our trip comprised of seventeen days of kayaking and camping in some of the most beautiful and pristine seas and islands, we have ever set foot on.
Nicklas who heads Millekul, has immense personal knowledge of the local area and he planned this trip of a lifetime for us, which included two nights at the Blue River Jungle!!! Kayaking up and down the Blue River is an experience of a lifetime in itself.
We were blown away by the whole experience and cannot recommend this enough to anyone planning a holiday in Raja Ampat. All i can say is that we have not stopped talking about it since we returned to London. As a matter of fact, Nicklas is planning another trip for us for 2025.
The guides - Gilang, Marco, Owen and Bangkit - were super knowledgeable, kept us safe and were wonderful company. We miss them terribly!!! Nicklas is a wonderful human being, kind, generous, honest and his attention to detail to ensure we had the best time was evident in everything he did.
This holiday will forever be etched in our memories and will be hard to better!!! Anyone interested in sea kayaking please check out Millekul Adventures.Written 17 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

First of all Fenides boat is so beautiful. It looks more like a Luxury Bali Villa than a liveaboard for diving. I’ve been on a few dive liveaboard boats from the Maldives to the Galapagos and don’t have an experience like this before. Not even close. It’s very instagrammable !
The crew is the best there is. Not only they are friendly and nice, they are also very able! Their
hospitality is more like being in a luxury 5 star resort than in a dive boat. They are instinctive to everyone’s need even if we don’t ask for it. From the boatmen, dive guides, housekeeping, bartenders, etc. They are the epitome of Service Deluxe. Our cabins are cleaned 2x a day and we never see him inside of the room. It’s magic !
Fooood is amazing and beautiful. Everyday is a feast! We get minimum 10 varieties on the table for lunch and dinner. We get tailored breakfast daily. Really whatever you feel. Pancake is a given , but do u want granola & yogurt? mi goreng? friend rice? congee? mi soup? We get pre bfast, bfast, lunch, meryenda (afternoon snack), dinner. And we get table setting… I mean really?! we feel like we need to dress up for the meals. EXTRA! is what Fenides is
My friends and I were in diving Banda Sea in Oct. Even on days when diving is not great, you forget it once you come back the boat with welcome drinks, every dive, different !!!
The dive boat is equipped with new gears for rentals, all size and all brand new. What do you need? They’re there at your service. And everyone is respectful and professional.
It’s out first divetheworldclub trip post pandemic. It is perfect!!
If you can afford it, you must book it!Written 2 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Arnd L5 contributionsWe had an Blast on this Trip with so many Impressions we will never 4get.
If you dont mind to sleep in fairly basic Conditions and be together with 12 Ppl and 6 Crew for some Nights this is the Trip 4 You.
The Pricing is absolutely correct and you won't find anything comparable in Sorong.
The Crew and the Guides are ALL good hearted and fine People and the Boss Deni cares a lot about his Crew.
We had an excellent Cook on Board who's Name was Marvil and we enjoyed every Meal.
The Tourleader Roli is such an great Guy and his daily Briefings are legendary.He is also one of the best underwater Photographers i ve seen.
We did an 10D10N Trip to Misool and the Speedboat was operated by Roja and Ciko the two Guys who kept us safe during every Snorkeltrip and Trekking to Caves and Mountains and showed us an incredible and intact Eco System above and under Water.
We highly recommend to book your Trip with this Guys..you wont find anything better in this PriceclassWritten 14 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- barbara fmpls60 contributionsThere were 3 of us on a week long diveaboard with wicked diving. We spent this time in the beautiful and remote Komodo national park The diving was out of this world.! We saw so much, every dive! The coral reefs are fantastic and the "wildlife" like none other. We had 4 different manta encounters and even saw mantas competing for a female in a courting dance. Simply amazing! The staff on board were so so good! Food was highly satisfactory and plenty of it. The crew was so helpful and all skilled in knowing the dive spots which as mentioned were superb. I highly recommend this wicked diving but also must mention that these currents in komodo are swift and can unpredictable but quite honestly, that was half the fun. Special shout out to our friend Clement , dive instructor extraordinaire, our dive gudies Agee, Jorgan and Engle. The rest of the staff was great too. We will be returning!!!Written 28 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

This was our second time diving from a Siren boat, with the first being in the Philippines in 2022. We went with a couple and did the Komodo itinerary where we completed 32 dives. The crew was very accommodating and pleasant.
First, the boat. We stayed in room one and our friends stayed in room two. These are rooms with double beds. We all agreed if we were to do a Siren boat again we would opt for a room with two single beds as they appeared to have more room. Also, in room one and two you have the noise from the anchor. The rooms we chose had toilet issues and it took multiple flushes to get anything to go down. The shower, sink and toilet are all in the same space which made for a very wet toilet at times. The food on the boat was always buffet. It was okay with times being a bit overcooked.
The dive deck is nice and roomy and all dives are completed by dingy. Getting off and on the dingy can be a bit challenging at times due to rough seas. After each dive you are greeted with a juice or water during the day and cocoa after the night dives. There is also a dry towel waiting for you. The diving in Komodo park in my opinion was just okay. The visibility at times was very poor and rarely did we get more than 40 feet of vis. The currents can be super strong, making it difficult for photography. The main attraction is the Manta Rays, but if you want to get a good look at Mantas go to Socorro in December where you will get a much better experience. We saw a few reef mantas on this trip and it was nice, but I prefer Socorro Islands for mantas. By the way these are reef mantas which are the smaller version of the oceanic manta. The rest of the diving was a bit boring. The reefs looked pretty healthy, but there were very few critters. We did a few night dives that were really good, but we also did a few night dives that had basically nothing on them.
The trip to Komodo island to see the dragons is a must do. We had a total of six dragons.
So, to sum it up I thought the boat was pretty good, but Komodo diving was just okay. I would return to the boat for the Raja Ampat itinerary.Written 30 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Contacted (e-mailed) Sorong tours before departing UK for Raja Ampat, a guide (Lina) was on hand at the airport to greet us before taking us to the harbour to purchase ferry tickets to Waisai.
We were taken to the ferry and assisted with boarding & luggage etc.
Lina was there to greet us on return leg too, we were collected from the ferry and transferred to Airport in comfy SUV vehicle.
Well done Sorong tours, I recommend for Airport transfersWritten 17 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
