La Galigo diving and team deliver!
Great diving, excellent staff & crew, comfortable bed, below deck cabins bigger than most boats, nice indoor common/dining area, good (and plentiful) food. Rear dive deck is much better than most area boats with side deck tender access. Dive prep area is big enough. Shaded area w beanbags and padded benches for about half the guests. Boat could use top deck shade area. Nice shore excursions.

- Raja Ampat diving is world class and rear dive deck & two tenders made access easy.. Cruise director, staff and dive crew went above and beyond, best liveaboard service I have had!. Shore excursions were interesting and varied - jelly fish lake a highlight!.

Excellent liveaboard run by experienced, friendly and efficient crew
Highly recommended! Excellent liveaboard run by experienced, friendly and efficient crew. I would definitely recommend La Galigo to anyone looking for a Komodo or Raja Ampat diving liveaboard. I have been on many liveaboards around the world and would count this in my top 1-2! Very difficult to find anything bad to say about it.

- Fabulous crew! Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful and well trained.. Incredible food! Some of the best food I've had on a liveaboard. It was a great combination of local Indonesian and Western.. Great dive schedule. Very well planned balance between diving and land excursions. Plenty of diving for those of us that want to be in the water all the time, but also good balance of other stuff for everyone else..

Flawless
Everything went off seamlessly. The entire trip was perfectly accommodating in every way. The food was absolutely fantastic and well above what I was expecting. The entire crew was welcoming, professional, and went out of their way to help whenever they could. The dive briefings were extremely thorough and made the dive easy because you knew exactly what to expect. The master divers where great and took good care of you above and below the water. They did absolutely everything for you and welcomed you back with delicious snacks and warm drinks. My first liveaboard and all future ones I will be doing have a hard standard to live up to. Would highly recommend this ship and crew.

Hanging in current at the Cauldron watching a free diver swim among Mantas, pygmy seahorses and the friendship that developed between a group of strangers.

Amazing!
We had the best time on the La Galigo back in September 2018! We took the Komodo trip and the entire crew made the experience beyond incredible! The rooms are large, the food was excellent and the diving was superb. We absolutely want to join a trip in Raja Ampat in the future aboard the La Galigo!
