Excellent week of diving
We had an excellent 5d/4n trip. The food was delicious with a wide variety of options and plenty of food to go around. Adriana was our dive guide and she was fantastic. Safety is very important on this boat. The dive briefings were very detailed so we knew exactly what to do when we got in the water. My husband ended up preferring to snorkel and they had a guide for this on board as well. Accommodations were basic but we knew this when we booked. Excellent budget option with luxury safety and food choices

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
