Raja Ampat 8-15 March 2026

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!

Great Liveaboard for long Trips
Have been in Raja Ampat on La Galigo for a 12 day Trip. I can absolutely recommend the boat for anyone looking for a well run dive boat. Surya (our Cuise Director) and his crew took really good care of us, the food was really tasty and plentiful, the rooms were spacious enough with shelves and cupboards, the shower/bathroom were clean. Everything was organized really good, the dive briefings were on point and not too long, and you noticed that the crew is really customer oriented. My luggage was delivered late by the airline I flew with, and the Team did everything to make sure I would get my bags as fast as possible. Thanks again to the team, it was a wonderful trip.

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.

Great Diving with great people
Sea life and Nature in Raja Ampat is simply stunning. The Ship was great, but the Crew made this trip special. They were friendly, funny, helplful and always smiling. The Dive Guides found every little seahorse and pointed out every big fish. We had a really good time under and over Walter.

Our experience on the La Galigo was most excellent!
The highlights of this trip surrounded the attention to the dive site itinerary. The trip planners and the dive guides balanced the weather with the dive sites to assure optimal exposure to the best possible dive sites. The entire crew could not have been more friendly, and their attention to detail and commitment to ensure an enjoyable trip was quite evident. Chief Gibo was most pleasant and attentive to the dietary needs of the passengers and prepared some excellent dishes every meal...the barbecue on the last evening was top notch! Dive guides Fendy and Dody were both excellent guides and made every dive insightful and enjoyable as well as safe. My wife and I had a spectacular trip and give the La Galigo and her crew our highest recommendation!

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.
