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.

Amazing trip really ultimate Raja Ampat
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.

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!

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..

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.

The people of La Galigo ensured that the trip was extra special. The cabins and the boat was impeccably clean. From every meal to all the post dive drinks and snacks - it was all delicious. The dives were very well orchestrated with detailed briefings. The dive guides took utmost care of every diver and ensured we spotted everything from macro life to pelagics.

Great experience
I boarded La Garigo in August, and it was an amazing experience. The boat crew and dive staff were always kind and friendly, and the cabin deck, rooms, and dining area were immaculately cleaned every day. The boat moved slowly and quietly, and it was as comfortable as a cradle. While this may not be enough for adventurous divers, the crew always prioritizes the safety of their guests and never pushes them too hard. The crew checked the currents at each dive. Groups of up to four people were divided by skill level, and the guides and crew always looked out for them. A wide variety of dive spots were planned for each dive, so we never got bored. There were also days when we went to macro-points, so photographers would recommend private guides. The meals were varied and one of the highlights of this trip. They also catered to vegetarians and vegans. A different healthy drink was provided after each dive, which was also a pleasure. Overall, it was a fun eight days, every day.

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.

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.

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.

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!
