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.

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.

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.

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!

My first liveaboard experience at La Galigo exceeded all expectations
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.
