A trip to remember!
Amazing athmosphere! Raja Ampat is a beautiful location, with a superb variety of marine life. Jelajahi Laut’s crew were excellent pointing out the sealife, and cruise director Abda was excellent picking the dive sites. Really recommend the boat (and the upper deck cabin with panorama windows and a balcony) and the crew!

Beautiful diving on a lovely boat!
Terrific boat and crew. Great safety practices and a wonderful onboard culture. This is a great mid-level experience....very comfortable....not the highest end luxury, but good value and good diving. I was both energized by amazing diving and relaxed by a very solid on-board experience. I would definitely dive with Makumba again....looking forward to their new boat in early 2027!

Best, liveaboard experience ever
Everything about this trip was fantastic. The crew really made it special with everything from amazing service and taking care of us to the absolutely phenomenal food and being able to spend some moments with the crew and the captain playing the guitar and them singing our excursions and the barbecue They set up for us on the beach was breathtaking. We got rained on but it was still amazing... A truly spectacular trip

Wonderful ship with excellent crew
My wife and I booked one of the premier cabins on our 6D/5N trip and it was absolutely gorgeous. We loved the beautful windows and the balcony overlooking the stern. The crew was excellent, professional, friendly, helpful, attentive. The cruise director, Camille, was well-organized, enthusiastic and attentive to the guests. I caught an 18-hour stomach bug -- probably from something I ate before I came aboard. Camille made sure that I had all I needed to feel better. Thanks to her attentions, I was back in the water in no time. This was typical of the excellent service my wife and I received on board the Jelajahi Laut. I would sail with this ship and crew again any time, any where!

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.

Incredible experience and so worth the expense
I would 100% book again. The diving was incredible but the staff were what made the trip so memorable. Eric and Camille provided the perfect balance. Eric created a wonderful energy to every day. Whether it was his music in the morning or before a dive, or his enthusiasm in running the boat. Camille provided the reassuring calm that enabled one to feel like everything had been thought of. The staff throughout were exceptional. The diving spoke for itself. Whether it was an intense, current infused dive or a tranquil drift over vibrant coral… there was something to please every diver at every level.
