Excellent week of diving
We had an excellent 5d/4n trip. The food was delicious with a wide variety of options and plenty of food to go around. Adriana was our dive guide and she was fantastic. Safety is very important on this boat. The dive briefings were very detailed so we knew exactly what to do when we got in the water. My husband ended up preferring to snorkel and they had a guide for this on board as well. Accommodations were basic but we knew this when we booked. Excellent budget option with luxury safety and food choices

Sneak peak into Komodo diving
Very happy with the trip. Was there in december so there were no other boats which was grat. Also Komodo tracking without other groups make it much more enjoyable.

5 Days of Exceptional Adventure and Diving
Our liveaboard was simply beautiful. The boat only accommodated 10 people, which made the experience particularly enjoyable and intimate. I particularly appreciated the presence of 3 dive masters for 10 divers: the groups were formed according to the level of each one, allowing everyone to fully enjoy the dives during the 5 days.Before each dive, the dive master took the time to draw the site and explain to us in detail the progress of the exploration: itinerary, points of interest, currents, depth, potential fauna... The level of precision and pedagogy in these briefings was impressive, clearly reflecting their great expertise.The atmosphere on board was both warm and magical, making every moment unique. A huge thank you to the whole team, and especially to our dive masters Matteo, Adriana and Eric, for their professionalism, their kindness and these unforgettable adventures in the heart of Komodo. Bravo and thank you again!

Great experience on Sokaraja
Had a great experience on Sokaraja. The dive instructors are friendly and incredibly professional. Each dive had a detailed dive briefing and they took js to varied sites for some amazing dives. The boat itself is comfortable with everything you would need. The crew on the boat were unbelievably friendly and helpful, with the cook continuously cooking up great meals. Overall would definitely recommend this live aboard.

Komodo = Sokaraja
Every second was the highlights. I enjoyed every moment of the trip. This is my first experience of a livaboard. I loved it! For Koreans, I recommend the affordable liveaboard Socaraza! It was my first liveaboard and it was not inferior at all, and the crew and guide are all very friendly.

Amazing diving, DMs, boat, and crew
We had an amazing 4 days on the Sokaraja. Everything from the dive masters, to the crew, to the food was perfect. Our DM Luca (and shoutout to Erik!) kept us safe in the strongest of currents and we had amazing dives every time. The crew and chef kept us constantly fed with great food and the best sambal ever. The dive briefings were so fun - 100% recommend!

World class diving made possible by superb dive guides know the sites - and importantly the tides!
So much diversity on dives - some were wild current with pelagics, mantas and sharks, some were as coral rich and diverse as Raja Ampat, each dive had amazing features… octopus play, cuttlefish mating, sharks hunting prey… weeks worth of dive experiences in 5 days. The Sokaraja has a great crew and wonderful spirit.
