While exploring the Komodo National Park, guests can dive with giant manta rays, reef sharks, and turtles and see cool critters such as flamboyant cuttlefish, seahorses, and frogfish on a macro night dive. Besides diving, there is the chance to visit the flying foxes, trek with Komodo Dragons on Rinca, and sunset hikes on Gili Lawa Darat.
Topside, the Sokaraja phinisi has accommodations to suit every budget. There is a dorm room with 6 single bunks; for those who want extra privacy, there are 2 private double-bed cabins. All guests share two toilets and 3 showers with running freshwater, and basic toiletries are provided. Freshly prepared Indonesian cuisine is served buffet-style in the open-air dining area, which offers stunning views of the dramatic Indonesian landscapes.

Best bang for buck
Luca and the crew run a great operation. This was my first live aboard and I was extremely impressed. The briefings were superior to any I have gotten before and they really made everyone feel comfortable diving in Komodo.

World class diving made possible by superb dive guides know the sites - and importantly the tides!
So much diversity on dives - some were wild current with pelagics, mantas and sharks, some were as coral rich and diverse as Raja Ampat, each dive had amazing features… octopus play, cuttlefish mating, sharks hunting prey… weeks worth of dive experiences in 5 days. The Sokaraja has a great crew and wonderful spirit.

A Sublime Underwater Adventure! 🌟🌊🦀🐟
My recent dive safari, led by Luca ans his crew, was an absolute triumph! His passion for marine life and dedication to conservation shone through every moment. Luca's expert guidance added an extra layer of magic to an already incredible experience. Can't wait to join another tour under his leadership! Warm greetings from Zürich, Philippe

Best Experience!
Our Liveaboard with Sokaraja was the best experience during our one month trip in Indonesia! The crew is just the best and will make your stay with them perfect. But we're here for the diving, right? So how was it? We loved every single dive! Komodo is such a great place for diving because you have a lot of different topographies, currents, corals, fish and so on. So we saw a lot of amazing things down there. Turtles, sharks, mantas...you name it. You'll get a detailled briefing with a meticulous and beautiful handdrawn map of the divesite right before every dive. And when you're not diving you can relax on the really nice boat, play some games, go for a swim or have fun with the crew. The food was also nice and everyone got their bellys stuffed :) We had the dorm cabin but slept under the stars on deck which was also amazing and since there is no light pollution you can see the milky way and sooo many stars! The value for the money is the best. We really recommend doing the trip with Sokaraja :)

Perfect liveaboard
For us it was really a perfect liveaboard. Very dear crew, who are very well-rehearsed and totally friendly. We immediately felt comfortable on board and that is always particularly important to us. Very experienced dive guides, had so much fun under and above the water and always made us feel super safe. Thank you for the unforgettable experience
