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.

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.

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.

Safe, Fun and Personable
The highlights of my trip was definitely all the amazing dives and seeing such a beautiful healthy underwater environment. I also loved visiting a couple hiking locations like Pianemo and the Jellyfish lake! Nice to mix up the diving a bit. All of the boat crew was amazing and friendly and most importantly, I never felt unsafe. Highly recommend!!

Awesome first live aboard experience
I really enjoyed this trip in Komodo. The scenery is spectacular and it was a privilege to see a Komodo dragon. The Amaya is a beautiful boat, plenty of shady spots on deck to read and relax between dives (or sun yourself if you wish). The staff were awesome - so friendly and helpful. The food was great - I can’t believe the quality and variety produced in that little galley. We had a couple of special dinners on the deck that were wonderful. The diving that I managed to do was very enjoyable (sadly a cold interfered and I missed some dives) - our dive guide Wilson was excellent and helped us keep the dives appropriate for our skill level. I would love to go back and visit Raja with the Amaya crew one day. Thank you to you all!

Beyond what we can hope for
We loved everything, the landscapes are breathtaking, the most beautiful dives of our long life as divers: mantas, sharks, turtles, napoleon wrasse, but also pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs, shrimps... and even a marlin for some. A very caring crew, very helpful, a great service on board, a very beautiful and comfortable boat and promoting conviviality. Beautiful encounters on board and in the water. A huge thank you to Amaya!

- General organization of life on board, wonderful dives but also small trecks and a layout promoting exchanges between all. The quality of the boat and the crew. The proposed circuit allows you to discover sumptuous landscapes and extraordinary dives.
