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.

Best Liveaboard Experience
I just did the 8-day/7-night trip through Komodo, and it was the best diving experience I have had. Beyond the diverse and challenging dive sites that the crew chose, La Galigo has excellent dive guides and a cruise director that create a really fun and enjoyable experience. The boat is amazing from the comfortable cabins to food to chill-out areas, and it is really great to look at as well. The crew are friendly and super helpful, and the booking experience from beginning to end was easy. I would 100 percent recommend La Galigo for any liveaboard trip anywhere, because no matter where you go the experience is going to be incredible.
