The KLM Gaya Baru Indah is a traditional sailing phinisi offering liveaboard diving around Indonesia's 'Bird's Head Seascape' which includes Raja Ampat and Cenderawasih Bay. She typically only takes 8 guests per cruise, meaning a more personalized and intimate service. There are 4 cabins available; two double, 1 twin and 1 quad cabin, each with air-conditioning, fan and reading light. There are 3 shared bathrooms on the upper-deck with freshwater showers, shampoo, soap and toilet. There is ample room to relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings aboard the Gaya Baru Indah liveaboard. During the day awnings are set up to provide shade from the hot tropical sun, and in the evening they are drawn back to make way for stargazing. Three delicious meals per day plus plenty of snacks are prepared with a mix of Indonesian and western cuisine.
Itineraries are 7 or 10-days long, with night dives being offered throughout the trip. Dive groups are kept small with no more than 4 divers per guide, so make sure everyone gets the most out of every dive. Raja Ampat is quickly becoming known as one of the best places on earth to dive due to the extreme bio-diversity it offers. Cenderawasih, not yet as well-known as Raja Ampat offers diving just as special, with the chance of seeing rays, sharks, colorful coral reefs and large schools of tropical fish, and the highlight of the cruise - whale sharks. The shaded dive deck has ample space for individual gear storage and rinse tanks, and nitrox is included complimentary for those certified.
The Gaya Baru Indah is a fantastic budget option for a dive liveaboard to Raja Ampat and beyond. To reserve your space call us or book online today.
