Great Raja experience!
Yayu and her team provided a consistent dive experience across the 8 days touring around Raja Ampat. They did their best to get us good time slots at all of the major sites to make the challenging currents manageable and keep us well fueled with plenty of tasty food.

Best diving on the planet
I knew that Raja Ampat was famous for soft and hard coral, although I have never seen anything like that in my 30 years of diving. Also the quantity of life under water. The food was amazing and the crew very nice and helpful. It was a great trip

Beautiful corals & abundance of wildlife combined with a comfortable boat and an exceptional crew
We went on the Pearl of Papua for the 8 days tour in Raja Ampat and enjoyed every second of it. The crew was incredibly helpful and went up and beyond to make us having a great time. The boat manager did a great job, too and made sure everything was running smooth. The Food was very good, especially the banana fritters in the afternoon. The boat got some renovation during the last two years so it is well maintained. We had one of the seaview cabins, which was great for the views. Just keep in mind they are located on the top deck, so it might be a bit more shaky up there. The underwater scenery in Raja Ampat is honestly the most rich and diverse corals I have seen so far. Also the abudance of wildlife is great, in every corner of the reef you can find small creatures. Would 100% recommend to get on this boat for your liveaboard in Raja Ampat!

Superb end-of-season cruise!
We were 3 a couple and a girlfriend and our cruise was fabulous. You are picked up from the hotel, you are taken from the dock to the boat in a dinghy. Everything is simple. Once there, the welcome is warm and everyone takes care of you. The dive deck is spacious and once the checks are done, you will find your tank directly on one of the tenders. The briefing room, which is also the dining room, is decorated with simplicity and comfort. You feel very good there. On the upper deck, a large wooden table (which can be used as a dining table if the weather permits) and two well-padded sitting areas allow you to enjoy the view. At the very top is the sundeck and its 6 deckchairs also perfect for relaxation.The dives are obviously very beautiful and the guides flushed out all the little wonders we want to find in Raja. Pipefish dragon, blue ringed octopus, seahorse pygma, wobbegong shark, cuttlefish and nudibranchs in numbers.The most positive point for us will remain the team: 100% Indonesian, with the owner Yayu who dives with you and tells you stories at dinner. We dived well, ate well, slept well, talked well and laughed a lot. If I had to do it again, I would immediately sign up for the same cruise "fo shur!!"Thank you again for these unforgettable moments!Ps: the room on the upper deck is definitely worth the extra euros invested. Waking up with a view of the islands and the sea is really worth it.
