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!

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!!

Excellent Time! 🤙🏻
I had an excellent liveaboard experience with the professional team at Sokaraja! Thanks to the team and my guide Matteo for the great experience! Sokaraja puts together a great itinerary and knows the sites so well which is exactly what you want in these conditions. You and your loved ones will be in safe hands in the Komodo Islands and you’ll be diving with a great group which the team attracts. Many repeat customers know where to go for a great time at a great value for advanced diving.

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.

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.

Absolutely fantastic!
Boat with 2 private cabins (we stayed in one) and 6 bunk beds. No A/C, but not really needed. Staff super friendly, food was fantastic. Diveguides and divesites great mix with driftdives and walldives. Felt safe at all times. Super nice sundeck and places to hang out in both sun and shade. Easy booking. Would go again any time!
