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.

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!

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.

First liveaboard experience was very positive
night (and day) dives. Komodo island dragon search (and found 3 - even during mating season). The beauty and tranquility of where we moored (most nights - but can't control other boats' use of generators)

- How easy it was to do multiple dives in a day. Very cool places visited. The owner and crew were fantastic

Best Liveabord of our lifes!

4 days of absolute dream
We've seen it all... repeatedly!Mantas, turtles, sharks, seahorse, corals,... nice excursions too. Perfect rhythm... 3 dives a day is enough. A few dives with quite a bit of current... which justify the advanced level with a little experience. Fantastic guide and team... Safety, freedom, professionalism, fun... The boss is great. Nothing but happiness. The value for money is incredible.

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

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%.
