Highlights
The KLM Gaya Baru Indah is a traditional sailing phinisi offering liveaboard diving around Indonesia's 'Bird's Head Seascape', which includes Raja Ampat. She typically only takes 8 guests per cruise, meaning a more personalized and intimate service. There are 4 cabins available; two double cabins and 2 twin cabins, each with air-conditioning, fan, and reading light. There are 3 shared bathrooms on the upper deck with freshwater showers, shampoo, soap and a 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. The Gaya Indah Baru has 13 crew catering to 8 passengers, meaning someone is always available to help the valued guests enjoy their trip to the maximum.
Itineraries are from 7 up to 12-days long, with night dives being offered throughout the trip. Dive groups are kept small with no more than 4 divers per guide, so ensure 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. Raja Ampat offers the chance to see rays, sharks, colorful coral reefs and large schools of tropical fish, and the highlight of the cruise - whale sharks. The Gaya Baru Indah also visits Triton Bay and the Banda Sea, two more iconic dive areas with some of the best diving Indonesia has to offer. The shaded dive deck has ample space for individual gear storage and rinse tanks, and nitrox is included complimentary for those certified.

Best liveaboard ever!!
The whole crew including the diving master are 10 people and the guest are only us 5 people. Every day is so well planned with best diving sites no people at all in the south of Misool and all the best food and afternoon desserts. All the crew are soooo welcoming and lovely with smile and happiness every day. The diving sites in the south are soooo quiet even no divers at all always only us and the sites itself are all very clear and all fish walls and colorful corals. We saw mantas, sharks, countless nudibranches, turtles, squids, octopus etc. And at very last few day we asked for a boat tour around the islands too, the boss said yes also. It was a very good cruise too around those islands. It was such a nice liveaboard experience!!

Trip of a lifetime!
Overall had an excellent trip that was well organized and planned. The crew was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The diving was exceptional and was led by very professional guides. The food was very good and always enough to go around, though felt repetitive at times with rice being served at every meal.

Amazing experience
We had a really nice 7 day trip in Raja Ampat. They crew is great, food amazing and the dives there are stunning. We also liked that some excursions are part of the program. Additionally, it's great that the owner Ralph is constantly on board and makes sure everything works as expected.
