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.

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!.

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.

The best liveaboard in Komodo!
My wife and I just finished the Jurassic (6 day 5 night) Komodo dive liveaboard and it was incredible! The boat - beautiful Phinisi boat purpose built for diving. Awesome spacious dive deck with big wash tanks, excellent gear storage and a perfect camera station. Great chill out areas for between dives with bean bags, sun beds and the right mix of sunny and shady spots. Super sturdy at sea, no rolling, no need to worry about sea sickness. Very well maintained and cared for with a beautiful main galley that was more than big enough to accommodate everyone comfortably. The best views at every meal! The cabins - the nicest cabins we've ever had on a dive liveaboard. We stayed in the deluxe double below deck and it was perfect. 3 cool brass portholes let in plenty of light and give great views. The cabin is roomy and has lots of storage, great AC and a very comfy bed! Huge bathroom with a hot shower. All very well appointed. The crew - can't say enough good things about this crew! The Cruise Director was awesome and looked after the whole boat so well. I had an issue that stopped me from diving on the last 2 days, and he made a special effort to take me out on some amazing snorkeling excursions while everyone else was diving so I didn't miss out on anything! He also contacted DAN on my behalf and took care of everything with complete professionalism. Every member of the crew looked after us with kind words and smiles every day. From the tender crew to the galley staff to the guys on the dive deck, everyone went above and beyond in every aspect and made us feel like family. They are such a fun crew with contagious energy and happiness! Our gear was always set up and waiting for us before each dive, loaded onto the tender and even cleaned and dried! Literally all we had to do was roll into the water! And roll was about all we could do after the ridiculous amount of incredible food they fed us every day! The food - We're both vegan and my wife is celiac so between the two of us, we're basically a chefs worst nightmare! But the kitchen staff on the Galigo didn't miss a beat. The chef made such a special effort to prepare amazing vegan gluten free feasts for us at every meal. His food is out of this world and we were treated to some of the best meals we've ever eaten! He is a magician! The diving - I won't go into much detail about the diving because if you're still reading this then you know how amazing the diving here is! What I will say is that all the dive guides on the Galigo were absolutely top tier! The dive briefings were fantastic (these guys are dive map artists!). Safety was always front and center and they made sure everyone was really comfortable and stayed safe in the currents at all times. Our guide was so professional and calm in all situations. His ability to spot wildlife is astounding and he always made sure everyone in the group saw everything. The itinerary is perfect hitting all the best dive spots at just the right times and delivering some of the best night dives ever! Thank you Galigo for the trip of a lifetime! We will definitely be back to dive Raja Ampat with you ASAP!

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.

An absolutely amazing dive trip on a beautifully reconstructed classical Indonesian boat
All of the dive sites in Komodo NP were amazing but specially one dive site called "Shot Gun" was the best and so much fun----this is a narrow passage between 2 islands. We wait for the tides to change and dive in with a reef hook ready, then wait in the middle of the channel to see all sorts of creatures flying by. A huge Manta flew by just 1m from me was an unforgettable experience! The sights of Komodo dragons on the island of Rinca on the last day of our trip was another highlight for me. The crew was so polite and well trained who pampered us from the beginning to the end of our trip. The equipment I hired was a top quality and the food was awesome!

Amazing Adventure
An amazing experience on every level. The diving was amazing with so much variety even in only one week. We also had the opportunity to take some excursions such as hiking where the scenery was truly exotic and even had the opportunity to meet some of the locals on out islands. The food was fantastic! (Hats off to our chef Raja). And, we also had the unexpected pleasure of having the owner on board with us who made sure we got the best experience possible. The marine life in this area of the world is unparalleled. Everything from pygmy seahorses to 6 meter mantas. Furthermore the variety of dive sites and experiences was superb. Walls, reefs, slopes, gardens, drift diving and the list goes on. With four dives a day, we got to see a lot of the best sites. And to top it off, we were almost, with only a few exceptions, the only boat there. The small size of the boat (13 guests) allowed for some great friendships to emerge. Looking forward to staying in touch with new friends. Can't say enough about it. It's the best dive trip I've taken to date!
