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.

Had a great trip. The alternation between beautiful dives and cool trips made it perfect. Even though there were some unforeseen problems, the crew did everything they could to solve it as soon as possible. Everything happened with a smile! You literally didn't have to think about anything: everything was taken care of. The food was also very tasty and varied. The trip costs a bit, but is totally worth it.

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.

Making friends with whole crew (Tom really takes personal pride in his boat, his crew and the experience of his customers). The selection of dive sites, all amazing and the guides ability to spot and ensure the whole group saw everything was the best I have experienced in almost a dozen liveaboard trips! The food, accommodation and equipment all top standard and maintenance and cleaning and help was above and beyond!!!

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 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.

Remarkable Raja Ampat
The La Galigo crew and the Raja Ampat 12 day destination was a remarkable scuba diving trip. The dive sites and itinerary was exceptional and we were fortunate to see so much of the beauty and wildlife that Raja Ampat is famous for. I enjoyed the food each day and felt that the crew overall - from dive guides, to cook staff, engineers and the deck crew were very professional and kind. I think this is a trip that redefines my goals for scuba trips going forward. I recommend La Galigo to others and hope they enjoy it as much as we did!

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.

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!.
