Fantastic week on the Jakaré to remember
We had a great time. The boat is made of wood and offers a lot of shade and draught. The size of the boat is manageable, but it still offers more than enough space because the number of guests is relatively small. The crew was great. The mood and atmosphere were very good, there are even plants on board. The food was excellent and varied. Everyone was always helpful. The dive sites were chosen according to the level of the guests. Hikes and excursions are offered, if you prefer diving, you have the opportunity. At the dive sites we were mostly alone, and the dives were tried to be arranged in such a way that diving groups of other boats are not in the water. We clearly recommend the Jakars and would first look for free places there for another tour in Indonesia.

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

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 ❤️

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.

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!

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.

Audrey and her team are highly professional, extremely well organized and super friendly.
The whole trip was a string of highlights from pickup to dropoff, carried out with incredibly great, positive energy by Audrey and her crew and arranged for us to a dreamlike and unforgettable experience. We wish them all the very best and hope they will be adequately compensated for their outstanding achievements. Many thanks to Audrey and her crew. F&F

Excellent and cozy trip
The trip was great and we had fewer than expected divers on the trip which actually made it more cozy and we got to know each other very well. New friends were made!
