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.

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 most amazing liveaboard
I‘m not exaggerating when I say this Liveaboard is one of a kind. We had such a great time. The diving in Raja Ampat is exceptional. It is very well organized from pick up over excursions (which all have been great) and the drop off at the airport. The team of Amaya makes sure that you feel welcome and their service is 5 star level. The amenities onboard and the food with different dinner styles every day were amazing. Rental gear is also top notch. Thank you for that awesome week onboard.

Unforgettable liveaboard
First and foremost, of course, the dives, which showed us the immense biodiversity! The guides and crew made life so easy that the heavy "noise" was almost not noticeable. Showering on deck after diving and then being wrapped in a warm towel is just great! Add a warm drink and the pictures of the dives in your head - great! The food was excellent and I didn't lose weight on this trip!

Like I said, just a wonderful week. The diving, the people, and the food.
Just a really wonderful 8 days and 7 nights. The diving in Raja is obviously some of the best in the world, but the dive staff on Amaya makes it easy, setting up all the equipment on the dinghies and cleaning everything after each dive. The level of service is very high

Amazing
The service is exceptional, and the crew is very efficient. The corals of the Four Kings are very healthy, with large schools of fish. Will come back when there is a chance.
