Besides diving, there is the chance to visit the flying foxes, trek with Komodo Dragons on Rinca, and sunset hikes on Gili Lawa Darat.

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!
- Recommended for
- The team - super dive masters. The comfort of the boat - with several distinct areas and the deck. The meals very good and varied.

Perfect liveaboard
For us it was really a perfect liveaboard. Very dear crew, who are very well-rehearsed and totally friendly. We immediately felt comfortable on board and that is always particularly important to us. Very experienced dive guides, had so much fun under and above the water and always made us feel super safe. Thank you for the unforgettable experience

Excellent!
It was a very well-run trip. I had some misgivings about choosing a budget option as I guess sometimes budget means they might tend to lower the quality but it was extremely good. I did 14 dives in 5 days and could have done a 2nd night dive had I chosen to do so. But yes, very well run, great food and the owners - Luca and Beauty - put on a great trip for what was to be their last one of 2023 before a refit.

The ultimate liveaboard experience
The sokaraja is a super practical and comfortable simple bib boat. It has everything you could need during the trip. The team of people is spectacular, helpful, attentive and everything is super well organized. Komodo is top and the sites they choose as well as the dive masters make it even better. The food is delicious. And the facilities are new. We recommend it 100%.
