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!

10/10 - a thoroughly well organised company, enjoyed every second!
It was thoroughly well put together, with 15 staff to attend to the 12 guests. All the way from engineer, to boat decks, kitchen staff, to dive guides - all were exceptional. The boat itself is incredibly comfortable, with plenty of space to chill in-between dives and rooms are well kept. The food was delicious every meal and we certainly didn't go hungry! Eric and Camille run the whole operation incredibly well, and go the extra mile with non-dive activities such as hikes, shexpert talks (shark expert) and a bit of ornithology. The days are packed but that's a good thing, and it's amazing how much you can fit into the week, with a total of 23 dives. Importantly, they genuinely care about the reef, its inhabitants, and the protection of them which is refreshing. Watching fellow divers smash up the coral with their fins actually ruins holidays but they really keep an eye on this. Thoroughly recommend this organisation if you're considering Raja Ampat.

Incredible Trip in Komodo
An unforgettable Komodo experience from start to finish. The diving is without question among the best in the world, with extraordinary marine life and breathtaking reefs at every site. Special thanks to Eric and Camille, the outstanding cruise directors, whose expertise and warmth set the tone for the entire journey. Equal appreciation goes to the crew, whose skill, attentiveness, and constant good spirits ensured that every detail was flawless. A truly world-class operation.

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!
