Wonderful diving holidays on a great boat with a brilliant crew
We were only 9 divers on board, a diving group consisted of 3 guests plus a guide. That was great. The whole crew was super friendly and the food great. We had freshly baked bread every morning.Besides the diving area, which was of course fantastic, it was an all-round relaxed and great trip.

Everything we hoped it would be
Small and intimate boat but still enough space for everyone. We were only 10 (instead of 12) guests, which was nice. Crew was both nice and efficient, the cruise director Guillaume gave excellent briefings. Food was very good and plenty, with vegetarian options (but don't expect what they show on their commercial images). We felt very well looked after. Diving in central & south Raja Ampat was spectacular. Just keep in mind that Raja Laut is a wooden boat and the generators run 24h, so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Also, it would have been nice to see the boat under canvas, but we understand that this would mean longer travel times and less diving. Overall, we truely enjoyed ourselves, and highly recommend the boat.

A unique experience
Saw more than 15 mantas in Manta Alley in South Komodo. The sunset on the viewpoint was beautiful. Overall the trip was well planned. Apart from the amazing dives with Mantas, sharks, turtles, we also had a lot of fun on the land, visiting local village, Komodo dragons, sunset and thousands of bats.

Fabulous week in Komodo
We had a fantastic week aboard Emperor Raja Laut diving in Komodo for our honeymoon. Flor and Sophie guided us safely through 20 dives at a variety of sites with knowledge of and respect for the local reefs and wildlife. We saw a huge diversity of wildlife, including manta, turtles, octopus, cuttlefish, and countless nudi, among others. Sprinkled in were land excursions to see a local village, a pink sand beach, and two hikes - one with an incredible view of Padar island. The boat staff was lovely and kept us comfortable throughout our stay. FYI there can be strong current at some sites in Komodo, so this is not an itinerary for freshly certified divers.

Wonderful trip on a boat with a lot of charm and comfort and sumptuous dives. Unforgettable 🥰
Wonderful holiday interlude on a dream shooner. Well appointed and comfortable with family (adults). Unforgettable dives on preserved places where an organization and quotas restrict access for the benefit of the underwater fauna and flora but also of the divers🥰. The crew is very well organized. Everything went smoothly, in a good mood, in complete safety and comfort on wonderful places. Congratulations and thank you all. I recommend and will repeat the experience if possible.
