Description

Explore the remote Solomon Islands aboard the luxurious M/V Bilikiki, the only liveaboard currently operating in these pristine waters.

Launched in 1989 as the first full-service luxury dive vessel in the Solomon Islands, the Bilikiki set the standard by offering private showers and toilets in every cabin.

The 38-meter Bilikiki remains one of the best-reviewed liveaboards worldwide, known for its safety, stability, and spaciousness. Specifically designed for South Pacific cruising, it accommodates guests in 10 comfortable deluxe cabins, each with air-conditioning and an en-suite bathroom. Eight cabins feature a double lower bed with a single bunk above, while two offer twin beds without bunks. Shampoo, soap, and dive deck showers are provided, and hairdryers are available upon request. The ship operates on 240V with Australian-style outlets, plus 110V outlets for charging devices.

The Bilikiki's reputation for comfort extends to its spacious dining and lounge areas, where guests can relax and enjoy a large LCD TV with a USB port and a multi-format video system. Meals are a highlight, with a variety of energy-fueled dishes prepared by the onboard chef. Fresh local fruits, vegetables, and a selection of seafood, beef, pork, and chicken are served buffet-style. Special dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice, though some requests may be limited due to the remote location. Alcoholic beverages are available onboard but are not served while the boat is in port or after diving.

Diving remains the top priority on the Bilikiki, continuing its legacy as a premier liveaboard dive vessel. Additionally, guests can enjoy village visits to meet locals, purchase crafts, and explore island life. Fishing and paddleboarding are also available for those seeking extra adventure between dives.
