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.

Marvelous diving, friendly and competent crew, pretty boat, and surprisingly good food!
Our nine-night itinerary allowed more diving and relaxation than typical seven-night trips. The boat schedule was good, with dives at 7:00, 11:00, and 15:00. We found many fantastic macro creatures during daytime dives, including pygmy seahorses, and both night dives were outstanding. A few dives had higher current, which challenged some on our boat, and the water was a bit colder in the southern part of Komodo National Park - we were happy to have brought 5 mm wetsuits in addition to our thinner ones. The two land adventures were fun, as were the mealtimes, including special steak night, burger lunch, and hot pot dinner. The best part was the super-friendly and competent crew, especially our dive guide Pablo and the hilarious cruise director Tony. It was absolutely worth it - highly recommended!

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.

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.
