Great live aboard on the Sokaraja - I recommend 100%
We spent 4 days and 3 nights aboard the Sokaraja. It was our first diving cruise and we can't recommend it: the boat is perfectly adapted, the whole crew very nice and the program varied. A big thank you to Adrianna, always smiling and listening: we loved diving with you!

Terrific even as snorkerlers
Brought my 9 year old kid, he had a great time. Both of us were snorkelers but enjoyed the trip/ camaraderie. We were assigned our own snorkel guide, Eric and he was terrific at spotting dugong, manta ray, moray eel, etc. Equipment for us was great. Food was good and plentiful. Yetno, Suril worked their butts off not only as dive guides but also in engaging the customers on the boat. Really memorable time for myself and my son.

Sokaraja the best boat in Komodo!
What an incredible five days! From the crew to the dives to the islands themselves - I had such a good time on this liveaboard as a solo female traveller. All the dive guides knew the dive sites like the back of their hand and even took the more experienced divers on a slightly different route to see even more cool things!

We Will Be Back!
Couldn’t recommend this trip more. The diving as expected was phenomenal. Amazingly diverse and vibrant ocean life from coral to fish to mantas. The whole operation on the boat was to a far higher standard than we expected. Clearly communicated and very well thought out daily plans leave you having to think about nothing other than reminiscing what you’ve seen so far. Waking up early having arrived at every dive site first to be the only group in the area, having amazing food and unlimited snacks provided with comfortable areas to relax as the boat travels during surface intervals, everything is seamless. The dive guides and crew are exceptional with experience, service and communication. We paid extra for the private cabin which was lovely, particularly as the boat turns off the generators overnight for a quiet sleep. We will be back
