The trip was very interesting. The manager gives very good bio-diversity talks on the reef.

Great trip through the northern Banda Sea
Everything was just right on the tour. Great reefs with very different fauna and flora, the wishes of the guests were also very well catered for, an outrageously good cuisine, a very well coordinated and helpful crew. The interaction of the guests was also excellent despite their different countries of origin.

A memorable voyage with amazing crew.
Can’t say enough about the amazing cruise director and crew. They really worked hard for the best possible experience. Small groups, well chosen dive sights, experienced dive masters and 60 minute dives. The boat is comfortable and charming. Included nitrox and available larger tanks for the 60 minute dives. Gear issues were readily supported with solutions. Gear was washed and dried, ready for departure. The island excursions were delightful and enriched the experience.

- Careful selection of dive sites and conditions to make sure everyone got what they wanted. Cruise director and crew work very hard for you. Land based excursions add to the experience.

Visit to Aurora was all prefect
We also made some land visits to Komodo National Park. The dives were very nice and the visited sites were prefectly chosen, so that we were very alone on the dive sites.

Raja Ampat unforgettable
We had already been to Raja Ampat, but doing it aboard the Aurora is a top experience. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff is attentive to the needs of the guests and every little detail contributes to 'pampering' the customer (for example, the cold drink and the towel always clean and dry when returning from each dive). We always felt at ease, fully enjoying the holiday. Everything works perfectly thanks to the excellent direction of the cruise manager, who knows how to transfer the necessary attention to the staff. We definitely recommend it and hope to go back!

The best liveaboard experience ever!
This was the best liveaboard experience ever! Guillaume was an excellent cruise director and chose the best diving sites for us. He was considerate of the schedule and added more night dives to let us get more bottom time. The crew and staff were the friendliest and most awesome people. They welcomed us back to the boat after every dive with a cold drink, a warm towel and a loud “Whoo!!” We always felt so welcome and taken care of. Our gear was assembled and disassembled for us and carried on and off the dive dingy for us. We really just had to suit up and roll into the ocean. The food was a nice mix of Indonesian cuisine and the chef graciously catered to different dietary preferences including vegan. The boat is also really interesting to stay in. The cabins with en suite baths were made of wood and would creak with the sway of the boat so ear plugs are a must. But otherwise we were quite comfortable. I would go back to Aurora the next time I return to Raja Ampat for diving.
