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.

Sea life and Nature in Raja Ampat is simply stunning. The Ship was great, but the Crew made this trip special. They were friendly, funny, helplful and always smiling. The Dive Guides found every little seahorse and pointed out every big fish. We had a really good time under and over Walter.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Recommended for
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!.

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.

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.
