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!

It would be great to see reef manta for sure. However, the main highlights of this trip was team. they are super friendly and really try to help us out on anything. I am planning to make this liveaboard trip as annual thing with sokaraja. Cheers and see you around

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.

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!

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.

Excellent experience!!
The team aboard the boat are extremely good. Very professional, safe and know the dives sites well. Luca the owner who was my instructor/dive guide was fantastic and has decades of experience along with his dive team and experienced boat crew. Also a big shout out to the chef who managed to feed us really well and keep the food very interesting and super tasty! Also a big thank you to the boys who made things so much easier with their help. There was 10 guests and 11 staff which makes running the boat a smooth operation. The dive equipment is professional and well looked after to a high standard. They took us to some beautiful spots to rest and relax after doves, the views are breathtaking. I would 100% go with Sokaraja again next time I do a live aboard purely for safety and the dive knowledge the team have. Thanks again guys and take care!

This was the favorite part of our honeymoon
We loved our time of the sokaraja! It was so fun getting to explore the beautiful reefs in Komodo. We saw lots of Mantas and got to dive in some fun currents.
