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.

Wonderful experience with Raja Laut
I had a wonderful experience on Raja Laut. The crews were extremely helpful, they were accurate on daily diving plans, providing clear instructions on each dive, very tentative on security and always fast on responding everyone's needs. The food was tremendous considering the fact that the kitchen was tiny, the chief must have tried all he could to serve the guests with good food. Anyone who would love to enjoy a family vibe for a liveaboard trip, I'd highly recommend raja laut.

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.

Amazing boat, crew and dives!
What a magical experience diving in Komodo. The dive sites were great, the crew was wonderful and we were well fed throughout the entire trip. Every time we came back on the zodiac we were greeted with a warm welcome. The newly dried towels were much appreciated after the chillier dives. Our DM Chris was extremely experienced and pointed things you would've blown right past. We did have an awkward encounter with our cruise director at dinner the last night. His behavior was a bit off putting but feedback was provided to the company and made us feel heard, and addressed the issue right away. I would not hesitate to book another trip again on this boat!
