My 12-day liveaboard journey in Raja Ampat aboard La Galigo was nothing short of extraordinary.
The combination of pristine diving, exceptional service, and the professionalism of the crew made this trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The dive team on La Galigo delivered outstanding guidance and safety, enriching every dive with their knowledge and passion for marine life. From large pelagics like mantas to macro treasures hidden in coral reefs, every dive revealed the extraordinary biodiversity that makes Raja Ampat so unique. Equally impressive was the onboard service. The La Galigo crew operated with seamless coordination, providing world-class hospitality at every step — from dive preparation to exquisite meals and comfortable accommodations. Their genuine warmth and attention to detail elevated the experience far beyond expectations. This journey was filled with magical moments, both underwater and on deck, and I wholeheartedly recommend La Galigo to any diver considering Raja Ampat. It is an ideal choice for both seasoned and first-time visitors to this region, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and truly unforgettable adventure.

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.

A memorable liveaboard on a fabulous boat with the best crew.
This liveaboard was defintely my favourite for the quality and luxury of the boat and the cabin which was cleaned every day. The friendliness and helpfulness of the crew, and the cruise director was very knowledgeable and helpful and the dive guides really knew what they were looking at and where to find it. It was easy to dive as all of your equipment is stored in one place and the crew help to gear up and clean everything after. The food was varied and tasty and there was plenty! Loved it and would definitely recommend this liveaboard.
