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!

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!

Perfect dive trip with great crew and agenda
The trip was amazing with a great balance between diving, relaxing, socializing and exploring the national park. Definitely a must do for everyone. The cabins were not hot at all with the fan available and everything was very comfortable. Thank you for this great trip.

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%.

Sokaraja the best boat in Komodo!
What an incredible five days! From the crew to the dives to the islands themselves - I had such a good time on this liveaboard as a solo female traveller. All the dive guides knew the dive sites like the back of their hand and even took the more experienced divers on a slightly different route to see even more cool things!

- Friendly and knowledgeable crew. Variety of dive sites. Island treks.
