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.

Fabulous second trip on board Amaya.
This was our second time on Amaya and as soon as we got on board we remembered why we had enjoyed our last trip so much - the wonderful and friendly crew. The food was great, the diving was excellent and the birthday cake was a special touch. Overall this was a wonderful trip.

Amazing experience with Amaya Explorer
We've loved our overall experience with Amaya. The boat is relatively new (built in 2019) and it was very comfortable. It would make a great choice also if you had a non-diver with you as there's plenty of space where to sunbathe or just chill. We chose the Upper Deck Suite. It was very clean and it made a perfect choice for this trip as we've had some long navigation at times. Our dive guide was very prepared and we felt very comfortable with him. Throughout the whole diving preparation process we've received great assistance from the crew. You basically just get into your wetsuit and the rest is done for you. Food on board, as well as other services, were impeccable. We'll definitely choose Amaya again in the future.

Amaya is the GOAT BOAT in Komodo
There are dozens of boats to choose from in Komodo - but Amaya stands out. The new boat is so clean, the staff is warm and welcoming - plus the diving is some of the best in the world. Would love to return in the future, its that good! On Amaya we came as strangers and left as family amongst the staff and crew. Everyone was happy! 1 million stars!!

The My Amaya liveaboard experience was better than my Bali Retreat
Awesome crew with a great sense of humor and service attitude; always tasty food and a warm towel waiting with a smile for us after diving; amazing vibes throughout the week below and above water with tons of fun! Brillant boat design with 1 „big „family“ outdoor dining table that makes for a great sense of community, but also with a variety of individual time-out spots

Seamless and incredible experience
The liveaboard experience with Amaya was unforgettable. The incredible teamwork and coordination between the crew created a very friendly, seamless and attentive environment that made me feel very taken care of, especially with the amazing food and beverage service throughout the trip. The professional dive guides were trustworthy and flexible, allowing me to have an incredible and unrestricted diving experience. The cabin and boat deck were also high-quality and very comfortable, making for amazing lounging and socialising between dives.
