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!

Unforgetable trip in Komodo!
Sokaraja was amazing! Such a great experience in Komodo. The staff were exceptional, the food was amazing and the DM's were very experienced with a lot of knowledge about each dive site and the area. The boat was more traditional but good value for money. There were a lot of staff around, putting all our gear together for each dive, which was very helpful. Komodo is just so beautiful and the on-land excursions were great. Highly recommend!

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.

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!!

Good affordable liveaboard with great dives
We stayed in the private room on the upper deck and it was pretty comfortable overall despite the lack of air con. Didn't feel stuffy as it was well ventilated. Food was great throughout. Dives were quite varied to cater to different interests and experience levels. Was really happy to finally see the manta on our last dive at bamboo slope, we missed it at manta point.
