We loved the Jelajahi Laut and its entire crew!
Our experience aboard the Jelajahi Laut could not have been better. The divesites were amazing. The boat is right-sized and in good condition. Eric, the program director knew his stuff, making on-the fly adjustments to assure we would have pleasant and uncrowded divesites. Hanzo, our dove guid for most of the trip, could not have been better. He was cheerful, pleasant to dive with, and very knowledgeable. The entire crew aboard the ship was friendly, welcoming, and rightfully proud of their country and heritage. The food was great

A trip to remember
The 8 days in Raja Ampat exceeded all my expectations. Every dive site was unique and full of life, with an incredible variety of things to see. The dive guides were excellent – very professional and incredibly good at spotting species we would never have noticed ourselves. Safety was clearly a priority throughout the trip. Our guide Hanzo took great care of my group in every situation. The entire boat crew was fantastic – truly a diamond team. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the staff made us feel welcome from the very first moment. The atmosphere on board was relaxed, happy, and full of positive energy, and the music performances were an absolute highlight. The food was delicious, plentiful, and beautifully prepared and served. Overall, an amazing liveaboard experience that I would highly recommend to any diver visiting Raja Ampat.

Unforgettable trip
We had a wonderful 10 days on the Jelajahi Laut! The whole crew around Camille and Eric gave everything to offer us an unforgettable trip in Raja Ampat. Eric's briefings before each dive were designed so that every diver knew exactly what to expect and that helped a lot, especially on some drift dives, which were quite challenging. Also, the protection of the reef is pointed out again and again and that you should not touch or break anything. We thought that was very good. They have carefully selected the dive sites and tried their best to avoid diving with other boats as much as possible. The diving groups consisted of a maximum of 4 people per guide, which was a reason for us to book this boat. In general, there is room for a maximum of 12 guests on the boat and we had a great group! Our Seaviewcabin was lovely, the view of the small islets from the bed was wonderful. Since it is a wooden boat, it sometimes dripped in a bit during heavy rain, but that didn't bother us. :) One afternoon, Matt, a naturalist, came on board to tell us more about sharks and manta rays, which was very exciting. We also liked the shore excursions, the aperitif on the beach and the trip to Jellyfish Lake very much. Everything was always prepared with love and cold drinks were always included.We can recommend the Jelajahi Laut to anyone who is looking for a family atmosphere, good security and fine food and attaches importance to taking care of our underwater world. Many thanks to Cam & Eric, Arisman, Saldi & Basir, Jamal & Dasir, Burhan & Kipli, Ramli & Romi, Elim & David and Kris & Dani. We would love to come back.

Dive Dreams Delivered!
Every detail was thought through. Even the effort to get one diver who missed his connection to the boat by the 2nd day seemed effortless! Eric has such a fun and distinct personality and flair. Cami was a delight! Hans was our dive guide and he was professional and so helpful! While we all were from 4 countries and different dive expertise levels and ages 17-61, we all bonded closely and were sad to part ways by the end of our 8days. The dives were well planned and briefings excellent. The extra special beach bbq, lazy river snorkel and village tour were unexpected and truly memorable.

Fantastic Liveaboard with outstanding staff
Incredible coral and sea life, dives were not only beautiful but diverse with a night dive and some exciting current dives. We dove with our children for the first time and the lead dive guide was able to make us all comfortable and safe. The food was very good and plentiful, and the views from our on board room were unforgettable.

Great liveaboard experience
Beautiful dive sites . Great schedules of the dives and activities. Amazing local crew. For the food, the chef did its best with a lot of options ; it did not fully match our taste and we once were sick due to food but I know that the other divers were very pleased with the food . The Cruise directors were also good and did their best ; I would have appreciated that my dive guide shows more calm during the dives sometimes but overall a great experience.
