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.

Best week of my life with the Aurora!

Seriously THE BEST week of my life! The diving was amazing with live corals which was something I really needed to see as someone who has only done diving in the Caribbean and a little in the Maldives. I'd never seen actual live happy coral or many kinds before. They picked sites that didn't have too much current and the dive guides were great with adjusting dives to air consumption of the group. Crew on the boat were also wonderful! Dune also helped those of us going to land homestays get there with connections to taxies and information on where to how and how. They stayed in contact with whatapp before the cruise and after we have a scrap book of fun with new friends from them. Wish I could give them more than 5 stars and greater than a 10/10! I cannot recommend the Aurora enough!

The crew was professional, kind and so fun! I'll never forget how they cheer when we'd return from a dive!. The boat was incredibly comfortable from AC to bathrooms and meals. The mattress in my cabin was as good as my fancy one at home!. The diving: guides were all knowledgeable and personable, everyone was so helpful and kind. I'm a plus sized diver and they treated me great!.

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.
