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.

Excellent Choice in Raja Ampat
The organization is excellent as well as the crew. The food and details such as a dry towel after each dive also stand out. to improve the price and maintenance of the boat (furniture) but little else. a 9/10

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.
- Recommended for
- 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.

Wonder dive experience! The best.
Had a wonderful trip with the Aurora crew. The diving was excellent, the highlight being hammerhead sharks but every dive was good and most amazing. The staff went over and above to make the trip super special. New equipment, 4 divers per DM, though we had a DM for the two of us. The diving was from a tender so super easy getting into and out of the water. Food was varied and excellent, and cold soft drinks always available. Room were reasonable size and cleaned every morning while we were diving. There’s plenty of space to chill out between dives. Definitely highly recommended, will go diving on the Aurora again if I can! 😊😊😊

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.

The best Liveaboard Team in Indoneasia
I had a great experience at Dune Aroroa liveaboard. The crew director Guillaume is extremely funny and helpful. All the divers are great and will make you very comfortable. The trip is extremely well planned by Guillaume. You will get fresh juices after every dive, hot fresh towels , and drinking water the next second you finish your dive. Also they really pamper you with your dive gear , you do not need to anything. Just open your arms to wear the bcd, rest everything is done my the team. Apart from dives you will be taken to a village tour, trek, sand banks and a lot of fancy dinners. Chef is really good and all your dietary requirements will be taken care off. One of the best trips of my life made a lot of friends and taken a boat load of memories
