Excellent and cozy trip
The trip was great and we had fewer than expected divers on the trip which actually made it more cozy and we got to know each other very well. New friends were made!

A beautiful journey had only one flaw, it was over 🙂 too quickly
The tour was absolutely great. The order and team are super friendly, competent and attentive. The dives were beautiful, very well selected and perfectly tested. Both guides (Audrey and Jack) were very experienced. The food was amazing. The boat, the Jakare, is ideal, it was built especially for such tours and is very spacious.

Jakare’ was a dive trip of a lifetime!
Dive trip of a lifetime following the lead of our crew director, Audrey and dive master, Sahril. They were very well organized getting us ready for up to 30 dives in 12 days. Special highlight was being visited by a whale shark and hanging out with the manta rays. With only 10 passengers total we have tremendous service from all of the crew and food was amazing. Come hungry because the chef serves lots of food all day! Left the boat with new friends and amazing memories.

Perfect vacation
The diving was world class. The ship itself is gorgeous. The food was amazing. The excursions were excellent. The crew were all wonderful. No complaints, it was expensive but we can’t wait to visit again.

The perfect boat
I have 10+ Liveabord experiences, and this was plainly the best boat I ever bordered . Very nice lounging and outdoor dining area. Appealing decorations, all tasteful and practical. It was a 13 day trip and I could not get enough. We had the aft cabine with the private balcony… the view was great from there (the room itself is quite tiny so) All in all there was great food and we got along well… the only issue worth mentioning was that they created a shortage in some basic supplies like soft drinks and milk and blamed it on our perceived overconsumption (which was really unfortunate communication at 600€ / night) but that was just a little annoyance over all.

Fabulous time on the Jakaré
We had a fabulous 12 days in the Raja Ampat area on the Jakaré liveaboard. We were warmly welcomed by the cruise & dive manager, the incredible Audrey. The crew was amazing, lead by Captain Thalib. They were all helpful, cheerful, adept at all they do--and delightful musicians, as well. The enthusiastic "hello, hello hello!" greeting everytime we returned to the boat from a dive or excursion never got old. Food was delicious and plentiful, and our individual tastes or food needs were met with pleasure. My wife and I booked the lovely cabin at the back and enjoyed views off the stern. We were some of the least experienced divers, and Audrey helped us out by making available, at a good price, a private dive master. Stefan really helped make our dive experiences safe and enjoyable. We loved the Misool area, especially. Can't say enough about how hard Audrey works, and how enjoyable she made our vacation. She's an amazing young woman, and because of her love for diving, we can't wait to explore more dive adventures. In the end, I'd like to give a shout out to Mael at Liveaboard.com who tirelessly answered all our questions, made sure we submitted all required information on time, and suggested to us the private dive master. She was great to work with.

Unforgettable 12 Days in Raja Ampat
With this boat you are in a slightly "higher" price category, but it is definitely worth it. The crew, the food, the boat itself, the service, the guide, etc. are all at the highest level. I already have a lot of comparison options but the 12 days on the Jakaré were just perfect from A to Z :-)A very big advantage on this ship are the different possibilities. You always have the choice between diving, snorkeling and shore excursions in between. Our route included Jellyfishlake, various viewpoints, a visit to a fishing village and a beach barbecue. There is also kayak and SUP so that you can enjoy the surroundings yourself. The dive sites are very well coordinated with each other and the wishes of the guests. Due to the small number of guests, the diving is super relaxed and we hardly saw any other divers underwater during 12 days.Thank you very much for the unforgettable time
