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

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.

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.

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%.

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!!

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!
