Wonderful 2 wks for
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.

- Staff was very friendly and attentive. Dive briefing were detailed, accurate, and followed under water. Loved the small number of divers and the 1:4 Guide to Diver ratio.

Excellent
The boat is just beautiful. It’s so well run and everything is spotless and well maintained. The crew were so helpful and friendly and everything is done for you including washing your kit on the last day and after every dive. First dive boat I have been on that doesn’t smell at the end of a trip. The groups are small. 4 people per dive guide and perfect to enjoy each dive, adapting to your groups needs. The food was very good. The beds were the most comfortable I have slept on, on a Liveaboard and large showers! A bonus. It’s so well run and organised.

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!

Fabulous all around! Highly recommend this team and company!
We had a phenomenal week with La Galigo in Komodo National Park. The entire tour was well organized from start to finish. The diving and sea life was spectacular! Very rich marine life, both pelagics and micro. Thrilling drifts and busy muck dives as well, full of creatures! Our guides were attentive and the groups are small, max 1:4. The sites were not too busy, in general. The dive briefings onboard this operation are next level artistry! The site topography maps are something you could hang on the wall - maybe a future merch idea! Rental gear was in good condition, and our personal gear was well cared for. The food onboard was delicious, plentiful and with lots of variety each day. There was one vegetarian onboard our trip and there were always lots of options for everyone. The boat itself was stunning. Beautiful interior, lots of space to spread out and lounge comfortably between dives, whether you want sun, shade or to be indoors. Our cabin was spacious, as was our bathroom. Hot showers with strong water pressure and reef safe shampoo/conditioner/body wash was provided! Land excursions were fabulous. We did a beautiful sunset hike, as well as a visit to see the Komodo dragons on Rinca. Rinca has good infrastructure, is clean and well maintained, and we had a very educational guided tour with many free roaming wild Komodo dragons who seemed peaceful, and well protected from tourists by the rangers. Last but definitely not least, the staff onboard our trip were absolutely fabulous. You couldn’t ask for better people. Everyone was happy to help in any way they could, they all seemed to be in a great mood every minute of the day, and truly seemed to enjoy our and each other’s company. Our cruise director, Jaka, was competent, confident and knowledgeable. He did an excellent job making sure everyone was informed all the way through, and that everyone’s whims, wants and needs were taken care of immediately! Highly recommend this company if you are going to Indonesia to dive!
