Great experience with Amaya Explorer
Had a very good experience on my Komodo trip with Amaya Explorer. Organization on the boat was great, dives were very good as well. Crew took care about the customers and food was delicious. Especially Wilson as a tour manager was awesome.

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.

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.

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!

Fabulous cruise in top conditions
The staff is super nice, the kitchen incredible, the boat very comfortable, we were pampered!And of course the Komodo dive sites are fantastic. We were also lucky enough to come across a particularly nice passing band. In short, the experience was almost perfect except for a first half day devoted to the organization which could have been more fluid, and some small details at the beginning on the preparation of the boulders before the dives (nothing serious, they quickly corrected the course and it is likely that it will not happen again).

Thank you for hosting us
We really enjoyed our time on the boat—it was the best experience we had in Indonesia. The hospitality was excellent, from picking us up at the airport and transferring us to the boat, to the warm welcome onboard. The daily schedule was very clear and well organized. The staff made a genuine effort to accommodate our needs, including our food preferences, and the overall operation was very well managed. However, four dives a day felt a bit too much for us, and we would have preferred more opportunities to explore some of the Raja Ampat islands. Overall, the staff did their best to ensure our safety during dives, our comfort throughout the liveaboard experience, and smooth transfers between dive sites. Thank 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.

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
