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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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!!!

Outstanding LiveAboard - Highly recommended
It’s Komodo - so the dive sites are top notch: many manga rays, great macro dive sites, good challenges even for experienced divers (partially vertical entry, strong currents). But, the really outstanding thing here was the way the boat is managed. Especially before and after the dives this was absolutely perfect: equipment is already excellently prepared for you, everything is on its place, you dive, and when you return someone has already prepared your towels, puts it around your shoulders and gives you a “welcome drink”. Besides preaching through your equipment you have absolutely nothing to do with it. All is disassembled, cleaned, washed etc. for you. I have no clue how to make this better. Never had such an experience before. The boat itself is really nice to socialize, to relax in shadow or sun and with the option to sleep open air on the top deck. I can only recommend this crew and boat by 100%. A similar service I have so far only experience at the Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok, to give you a reference here.

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!
