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.

Magical Christmas Dive Cruise
Exceptional dive sites were planned out well, some with amazing 100% hard coral cover, exceptional coral and fish diversity. Night dives were incredible (with bobbit worms, cuttle fishes, toadfish, snails, slipper crabs etc). We saw an occasional manta, some large schools of fish, some large fish (Napoleon, Bumphead parrot, tuna, trevally, grouper, sweetlips, snapper, barracuda, whitetip/blacktip sharks), fun smaller fish like razor fish, ghost pipefish, Dragon seamoth, many nudibranchs, different anemone fish, octopus. We loved the walk across Arborek island and to the Piaynemo viewpoint topped off with a small boat excursion of the lagoon. We appreciated the environmental commitment of the crew and Dune company who collected garbage in Arborek and support reef restoration efforts of the community. Most memorable will be the most attentive and kind crew who pampered us with warm, dry towels and juice after each dive, hot chocolate after night dives, washing/drying our wetsuites, preparing tanks and dive gear in the 2 dive boats, feeding us delicious food, even preparing special Christmas dinner and ambience, enthusiastically greeting the dive boats after each dive. The crew was always cheerful and friendly. The informative dive briefings helped to keep everyone safe under water. The cabin and the boat was spacious and kept clean at all times. One day the crew showed off Aurora's beauty with her blue sails. I will recommend the Aurora and crew to all my dive friends heading to Raja Ampat. Terima Kasih!

Great trip, Amazing Crew
Diving the Banda straight to Triton Bay with Aurora was a fantastic trip and I would recommend it to anyone. We had a wonderful variety of Dives and were blessed with lots of sightings of hammerheads, whalesharks, and big schools of pelagics. I had an accident and injured my ankle a couple days before departing on the trip and the crew was very helpful to accommodate me with ice and extra help whenever needed. The entire staff is excellent, the made to order breakfasts were fantastic, and all of the guys were extremely knowledgeable about the sites and helpful in the water. Beds and staterooms were spacious and quite comfortable as well. As a bonus they always had cold beer and plenty of ice for making drinks which is a luxury on an Indonesian liveaboard.

A trip of a lifetime on Aurora!
My husband and I saved for years to dive Raja Ampat and we are so happy with Aurora as our choice for taking us there. I still can't believe all we saw, and am so impressed by the care and consideration from the crew. Our dive guide, Tian, was the absolute BEST! He figured out quickly what we were interested in and made sure to be on the lookout for us. The food was good, healthy, and plentiful. I would do exactly the same trip again if I could. For other travelers, I recommend leggings and a rash guard for some of the little stingers. Not a big deal, but I will bring something to cover my legs on future trips. I just packed a shorty, which was fine for the temperature...some people dove without neoprene.
