Wonderful 2 wks for
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.

- Staff was very friendly and attentive. Dive briefing were detailed, accurate, and followed under water. Loved the small number of divers and the 1:4 Guide to Diver ratio.

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!
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!

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!.
