Jakaré: Such a memorable experience!
We spent the most amazing seven days exploring the magnificent Komodo National Park in Indonesia. We had such a beautiful experience on board - Jakaré crew and cruise director made the entire trip unforgettable! They were fantastic and full of energy and good vibes only. Always smiling, helping and taking care of us. We felt safe and special every single day - they greeted us every time we came back to Jakaré in our speedboats in such a lovely way that makes you feel home and super special. The cruise itinerary is one of a kind and we enjoyed every single day- all activities were superb and well balanced and combined over the days (diving/snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, trekking visiting Komodo dragons), every meal was delicious always made with love, full of Indonesians flavors and exceptional presentations - the chef spoiled us every single day! Bintang and good wine were always available at a very reasonable price. We were so lucky to share the boat with such lovely guests! We shared dives, meals, drinks, conversations and laughs every day on board of such a gorgeous boat- perfectly suited for intimate and small groups. We spent our birthdays and engagement on board and Jakaré made the celebrations truly memorable and full of love. We all became such a big family at the end of the trip while enjoying our last beautiful beachside dinner at sunset on Pulau Anita private island with bioluminescence in the water. Truly! One of a kind experience! The diving/snorkeling experience was exceptional, with such beautiful and massive marine biodiversity. Breathtaking landscapes all around the cruise trip, pristine waters and amazing sandy private beaches. Komodo National Park is indeed one of the best diving destinations ❤️

The best liveaboard I've ever experienced
I loved every second on Jakaré and am already planning for my next trip. I have never met such incredible service - these guys really make you feel like you're on holiday! The boat was extremely comfortable, every detail well considered. Add delicious food and you really got yourself one perfect liveaboard!

Unforgettable 12 Days in Raja Ampat
With this boat you are in a slightly "higher" price category, but it is definitely worth it. The crew, the food, the boat itself, the service, the guide, etc. are all at the highest level. I already have a lot of comparison options but the 12 days on the Jakaré were just perfect from A to Z :-)A very big advantage on this ship are the different possibilities. You always have the choice between diving, snorkeling and shore excursions in between. Our route included Jellyfishlake, various viewpoints, a visit to a fishing village and a beach barbecue. There is also kayak and SUP so that you can enjoy the surroundings yourself. The dive sites are very well coordinated with each other and the wishes of the guests. Due to the small number of guests, the diving is super relaxed and we hardly saw any other divers underwater during 12 days.Thank you very much for the unforgettable time

Wonderful trip, amazing crew!
Jakaré is a beautiful boat and Audrey and her crew work tirelessly to ensure everyone has a wonderful time. The rooms and en-suites are large with hot showers 🥳. There’s AC at night and during the day fans to keep you cool. I started my day with coffee and toast before the first dive and there was always a pot of fresh coffee waiting for me. Breakfast after the first dive was substantial, choice of eggs, noodles or rice, fresh fruit etc. Lunch was also substantial with 4 large plates of various meat, fish and vegetarian dishes (all were very good). Dinner a 3 course affair with salad, main and dessert. In short the food was plentiful and really good. And there was a delicious cake everyday at 3ish. Diving was in small groups and despite going to Komodo in high season (July) we generally had the dive sites to ourselves, or there was one other group which was easily avoided. The diving was wonderful and Audrey and crew clearly know the dive sites really well. I absolutely loved my time on Jakaré and would definitely go again! If you’re over 60 you’ll need a signed medical form from a hyperbaric doctor.

A beautiful journey had only one flaw, it was over 🙂 too quickly
The tour was absolutely great. The order and team are super friendly, competent and attentive. The dives were beautiful, very well selected and perfectly tested. Both guides (Audrey and Jack) were very experienced. The food was amazing. The boat, the Jakare, is ideal, it was built especially for such tours and is very spacious.

A truly wonderful boat and crew
The Jakare was absolutely faultless from start to finish. Nicolas the cruise director is incredibly professional, accomodating and enthusiastic always giving brilliant dive briefings before each dive and is clearly extremely liked and respected by the crew. We dived with Manssu who was a dab-hand at finding all the hard-to-find critters in Raja Ampat and clearly absolutely loves what he does which is so important in a divemaster. As for the wizzard in the kitchen Chef Burhan, he really made us such delicious meals 3 times a day which were a very good reason to come up from a dive! However this 35m vessel runs and works as beautifully as it does due to a collective effort by all crew members who were all just a brilliant. This was a 10-day Raja Ampat cruise and culminated in an amazing trek through the jungle to see the Red-bird of paradise which is such a unique experience when visiting this region. Look no further!
