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.

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.

Amazing trip on La Galigo
I had an amazing trip on La Galigo. The crew was incredibly friendly, the service was exceptional, and the entire team made us feel at home from day one. The cabins were comfortable, the food was excellent, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. The dive guides were fantastic and made exploring the stunning dive sites both fun and memorable. The underwater landscapes were absolutely breathtaking. A truly wonderful liveaboard experience that I would happily recommend to any diver.

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!.

A wonderful experience thanks to excellent crew
The trip was brilliant. I can’t fault the crew who were always so helpful and friendly and really made the trip extra special. The service on board was amazing - the way the crew looked after our kit, prepared the tenders, provided drinks and snacks after each dive and served meals was second to none, and always with a smile. The food was delicious and there was so much choice (for veggies too). Three course dinners, a choice of eggs at breakfast, endless snacks and hot drinks - what more could you want? I felt very well looked after. The diving of course was incredible. The sites were visited were beautiful and once we got to Misool we never saw another group in the water. The guide’s knowledge of the sites was exceptional and their ability to spot the tiny critters was outstanding. The boat was a little creaky and leaky but generally the facilities were pretty good and it didn’t affect the experience too much.

Outstanding LiveAboard - Highly recommended
It’s Komodo - so the dive sites are top notch: many manga rays, great macro dive sites, good challenges even for experienced divers (partially vertical entry, strong currents). But, the really outstanding thing here was the way the boat is managed. Especially before and after the dives this was absolutely perfect: equipment is already excellently prepared for you, everything is on its place, you dive, and when you return someone has already prepared your towels, puts it around your shoulders and gives you a “welcome drink”. Besides preaching through your equipment you have absolutely nothing to do with it. All is disassembled, cleaned, washed etc. for you. I have no clue how to make this better. Never had such an experience before. The boat itself is really nice to socialize, to relax in shadow or sun and with the option to sleep open air on the top deck. I can only recommend this crew and boat by 100%. A similar service I have so far only experience at the Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok, to give you a reference here.

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.
