Unforgettable!
I was just giddy so often - the mantas, the sharks, the turtles, the whale sharks! The Shotgun was exhilarating! Even the really calm dive sites were so beautiful and I would come out with my mind so relaxed! The guides were excellent - great eye for spotting creatures, big and small, and very adept at finding the right places to position us to observe mantas or sleeping sharks or whale sharks, and made sure we were safe when the currents were strong. We were also extremely fortunate with the cohort of divers - all fun, friendly, helpful, kind, generous and just good people. The land excursions were well chosen and just as unforgettable.

The crew is the heart of the operation in all manner - they are a solid team and a FUN happy family. The crew on LG are endlessly cheerful, superlatively helpful, proactive, organized but flexible, reliable, hard working, efficient, generous to guests and each other, sincerely caring, attentive to detail, thorough. And musically talented!. Almost all of the dives were great to spectacular. The boat is a beauty..

Blown away with this amazing Boat, staff, dives.
My trip was amazing, i was not sure what to expect but from the minute i stepped on to the boat i was blown away with the 5+ service and small details. Cabins were lovely, clean. Dive gear was 5+ and wetsuit new and warm. All the staff were amazing and made you feel very welcome and allways there to answer questions if needed. Highly recommend this boat and staff and hope to do Raja Ampat with them one day.

The whole trip was amazing from beginning till the end. We felt always welcome on board and the crew took care of everything to make the trip an amazing experience for us. The dive sites were amazing and the dives were well prepared and organized, starting from the briefing till the end on the boat when the crew took care of our gear. We managed to see a huge variety of wild live from pygmy seahorses to giant mantas.

Great diving - loved the healthy marine life from the nudibranchs to the pacific manta rays, and the abundance and color of hard and soft coral. Since the boat is small, there were only 10 divers for the 12 days of diving and we became a tight knit group.

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!.

Outstanding experience through and through
La Galigo is really a very high quality liveaboard. The rooms are small, as expected, but comfortable enough. The crew is unbelievably outstanding, so friendly, ever willing to go out of their way to cater to your comforts and interests. The food was delicious, the non-diving activities provided perfect interjections and as much said about the diving, it will not suffice. It was just absolutely out of the top drawer. Well, well worth the money spent. Thank you once again to everyone on the boat.

Making friends with whole crew (Tom really takes personal pride in his boat, his crew and the experience of his customers). The selection of dive sites, all amazing and the guides ability to spot and ensure the whole group saw everything was the best I have experienced in almost a dozen liveaboard trips! The food, accommodation and equipment all top standard and maintenance and cleaning and help was above and beyond!!!

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.

Remarkable Raja Ampat
The La Galigo crew and the Raja Ampat 12 day destination was a remarkable scuba diving trip. The dive sites and itinerary was exceptional and we were fortunate to see so much of the beauty and wildlife that Raja Ampat is famous for. I enjoyed the food each day and felt that the crew overall - from dive guides, to cook staff, engineers and the deck crew were very professional and kind. I think this is a trip that redefines my goals for scuba trips going forward. I recommend La Galigo to others and hope they enjoy it as much as we did!
