Visit to Aurora was all prefect
We also made some land visits to Komodo National Park. The dives were very nice and the visited sites were prefectly chosen, so that we were very alone on the dive sites.

Great trip in a stunning screnery
Most colorful and pristine dive sites, a friendly and helpful crew and a well designed boat, what more could you want? Dievb sites like "Four Kings" or "Blue Magic" are the icing of the cake.

Wonder dive experience! The best.
Had a wonderful trip with the Aurora crew. The diving was excellent, the highlight being hammerhead sharks but every dive was good and most amazing. The staff went over and above to make the trip super special. New equipment, 4 divers per DM, though we had a DM for the two of us. The diving was from a tender so super easy getting into and out of the water. Food was varied and excellent, and cold soft drinks always available. Room were reasonable size and cleaned every morning while we were diving. There’s plenty of space to chill out between dives. Definitely highly recommended, will go diving on the Aurora again if I can! 😊😊😊

Loved Aurora and Raja Ampat
We loved our holiday on Aurora even though my husband was unable to dive due to medical problems and I am a snorkeller. The crew and service are amazing and can't do enough to ensure everyone has a great time. We were allocated one of the guides to snorkel with us each day and (apart from the walking shark!) we saw everything the divers saw - and we sometimes saw a lot more! The corals in Raja Ampat are undoubtedly the best I've ever seen anywhere in the world! With Guillaume as the trip leader the organisation on the Aurora was superb. Everyone is allocated a number and has equipment boxes, water bottles and towels all labelled with that number. Before each trip our fins and the divers equipment would be placed in the relevant speedboat ready for us. When we came out of the water we would be handed a water bottle refilled with water. On our return to the boat one of the crew, Jane, would be waiting with a glass of juice and a cheery welcome and our equipment would be rinsed and put ready for the next dive. Our towels would also be dry and waiting for us. We have never before had such excellent service on a boat. The food was plentiful and good and included local specialties such as Soto Adam, Nasi Goreng and Mee Goreng. Breakfast and dinner were individually served to order whilst lunch was a buffet. There was always meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. Soft drinks were included in the price whilst beers were reasonably priced. There were also other alcoholic drinks available but I don't know how they were priced as we stuck to beer and water. We were fortunate that we only had 12 of us on this trip so it was a fairly intimate group - very multicultural and we all got on well so there was a great atmosphere on the boat. All in all, we had an awesome holiday and would definitely return - if only Raja Ampat wasn't so difficult to get to!!
