A great holiday
Third time I come to dive in Komodo and a renewed wonder for what we see underwater: millions of fish and creatures, small and large. First time I do it in Liveaboard version: the feeling of being on a luxury vacation without any mental load, with the staff taking care of strictly everything.

Incredible and wonderful
What an incredible trip, having not done a liveaboard before and with only 15 dives under my belt, I was a little apprehensive but the staff were amazing and couldn’t have done more for us. The diving was unforgettable in a good way and we had a great bunch of guest too. Will treasure the experience forever.

Amaya, crew, boat and experience: much more that I could expect and desire
The experience has been amazing, exceeding all possible expectations. Starting with the people: the crew. They treat you well, not as a customer, but as a guest welcomed into their home. On the diving side, they manage everything, including cleaning your equipment and handling your belongings with care. This has never happened to me before. Wilson was excellent at managing the boat, providing clear, engaging, and entertaining briefings. The chef cooks very well – he can even prepare a good Italian pasta, and that is coming from an Italian! :) The boat, Amaya, is beautiful. The rooms are tidy and well organised, the air conditioning works perfectly, and the common areas are well managed. I loved watching the stars from the deck, as well as reading or sunbathing during the day. The trip is well organised; you can choose how many dives to do each day, up to four, including amazing night dives. The weather was not always the best, but the scenery was always stunning. What can I say? Thank you very much for this amazing experience. If I have the opportunity to return to the area for a liveaboard, I will look for Amaya without a second thought.

End of the world
The corals are outstanding and the abundance of fish too. We loved the 2 land tours too to Wayag and Piaynemo. Bring a Drone if you can!

Fulfilled our best expectations.
After some hours in the boat you already feel like at home. The crew and guides are extraordinarily kind and friendly. The food is one of the best we ever had in a liveaboard . We hope we will join them in the future for one of their other trips.
