Highlights
Join the Sokaraja phinisi for a fantastic budget dive liveaboard trip in Komodo, Indonesia. Itineraries are 3 to 5 days long, with 2-4 daily dives available. While exploring the Komodo National Park, guests can dive with giant manta rays, reef sharks, and turtles and see cool critters such as flamboyant cuttlefish, seahorses, and frogfish on a macro night dive. Besides diving, there is the chance to visit the flying foxes, trek with Komodo Dragons on Rinca, and sunset hikes on Gili Lawa Darat.
Topside, the Sokaraja phinisi has accommodations to suit every budget. There is a dorm room with 6 single bunks; for those who want extra privacy, there are 2 private double-bed cabins. All guests share two toilets and 3 showers with running freshwater, and basic toiletries are provided. Freshly prepared Indonesian cuisine is served buffet-style in the open-air dining area, which offers stunning views of the dramatic Indonesian landscapes. On the top deck is a large open sundeck with comfortable mattresses, perfect for snoozing in-between dives or star-gazing in the evening.

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

Above and beyond - best value and experience
Fabulous trip, superior to another similar priced liveaboard in Komodo NP. Excellent experience all around, including a sunset trek to a spectacular viewpoint and the classic visit to the dragons. All the big name dive sites and kind and helpful staff. I fell sick with sinus issues and was given the best care, substituting dives for snorkeling.

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.

We will be back!
You can't really be brief, but these 5 days and 4 nights on the Sokaraja dive boat were the best days of my life.The crew is fantastic, helpful, kind and competent.No matter what you had, wishes and comments would be respected.The food is outstanding!? Something for everyone! Whether vegan, vegetarian, or not. Everything tasted fresh and delicious.The dive guides were also very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. You really felt at home in the 5 days.The equipment is well maintained and always in tact, you couldn't complain about anything.In the various dive sites, one would always be taken care of and reefs and fish would be respected and not endangered.The boat is in top condition, toilets are clean and sleeping facilities, such as chill areas, are available.You could write a lot more, but see for yourself!!
