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!

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!!

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.

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%.

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 :)

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.
