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.

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!

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 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!!

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!!

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.

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.
