Highlights
Specially designed for Tubbataha liveaboard diving, the Narayana yacht caters to up to 14 guests in 8 cozy cabins. Each cabin features private en-suite bathrooms, individually controlled AC, and storage space and offers queen-size double or twin bunk beds. The 6 double cabins on the middle deck also have a private balcony, perfect for relaxing in-between dives. Meals are served buffet-style in the indoor dining room and mix Western and local dishes. Social areas include the outdoor dining and lounge area and sun deck.
Philippine liveaboard dive cruises aboard the Narayana visit the Tubbataha National Park from March to June and El Nido, Coron & Apo Reef from October to December. Diving in Tubbataha Reef is only accessible via liveaboard and is fast becoming known as one of the best places to dive in the Philippines. With over 600 species of fish, 11 species of shark, and 13 species of dolphins and whales, it's easy to see why. These trips fill up fast, so booking in advance is advisable. The National Park of Apo Reef is home to the largest reef system in the Philippines and is full of marine life, large and small, offering excellent diving. Add to this the wrecks of Coron and the pristine waters of El Nido, and you will have a fantastic dive trip.

There is a reason for the low price.
From the third day, there was an odor of oil coming from the air tank. Exhaust fumes were entering the bunk bed area. The air conditioner does not work while the air tank is being refilled. The food was delicious, and the staff were friendly. However, the lack of a manager led to poor overall operations.

Budget friendly boat
Narayana is a budget-friendly boat with an incredibly nice and helpful crew. If you don't need gold-plated fixtures and luxury, this boat is for you. After all, the diving is what matters most.

Tubbataha is nice and Narayana is a safe and economical way to explore it
Narayana exceeded my expectations. Although the dive deck is pretty crowded, the crew tried their best to make diving convenient to everyone. The rooms have huge panoramic windows, the A/C at night works great, the food is mostly Philippine, which is perfect, as it gives an opportunity to explore new flavors. And the diving was very nice: beautiful corals, plenty of fishes, great visibility…

Jack fish and Barracuda storm
The water is so clear and warm for our diving. We could see Jack fishes storm and barracuda storm. The reefs and corals are so healthy and nice for photograph. The price is so reasonable of us to have a good liveaboard experience.

Narayana great experience!
Just know that you are going to go to one of the best diving areas in the country (and South Asia), in addition to being lucky if you have a great diving group, and the owners and staff (I include diving instructors) work hard so that you are as comfortable as possible and enjoy as much as possible, for you have a destiny that has no other result than ABSOLUTE SUCCESS.Highly recommended for shark lovers (and all kinds of multicolored coral and fish, you can't finish them), medium-low difficulty level. They ask for 50 dives, not because of the difficulty of diving, but because of the damage you can cause if you don't have enough experience and you load corals and so on, which is super protected, and I think this level is essential to respect a jewel like Tubbataha Reefs. Go go Dive!
