A trip to remember!
Amazing athmosphere! Raja Ampat is a beautiful location, with a superb variety of marine life. Jelajahi Laut’s crew were excellent pointing out the sealife, and cruise director Abda was excellent picking the dive sites. Really recommend the boat (and the upper deck cabin with panorama windows and a balcony) and the crew!

Incredible Trip in Komodo
An unforgettable Komodo experience from start to finish. The diving is without question among the best in the world, with extraordinary marine life and breathtaking reefs at every site. Special thanks to Eric and Camille, the outstanding cruise directors, whose expertise and warmth set the tone for the entire journey. Equal appreciation goes to the crew, whose skill, attentiveness, and constant good spirits ensured that every detail was flawless. A truly world-class operation.

10/10 - a thoroughly well organised company, enjoyed every second!
It was thoroughly well put together, with 15 staff to attend to the 12 guests. All the way from engineer, to boat decks, kitchen staff, to dive guides - all were exceptional. The boat itself is incredibly comfortable, with plenty of space to chill in-between dives and rooms are well kept. The food was delicious every meal and we certainly didn't go hungry! Eric and Camille run the whole operation incredibly well, and go the extra mile with non-dive activities such as hikes, shexpert talks (shark expert) and a bit of ornithology. The days are packed but that's a good thing, and it's amazing how much you can fit into the week, with a total of 23 dives. Importantly, they genuinely care about the reef, its inhabitants, and the protection of them which is refreshing. Watching fellow divers smash up the coral with their fins actually ruins holidays but they really keep an eye on this. Thoroughly recommend this organisation if you're considering Raja Ampat.

Unforgettable trip
We had a wonderful 10 days on the Jelajahi Laut! The whole crew around Camille and Eric gave everything to offer us an unforgettable trip in Raja Ampat. Eric's briefings before each dive were designed so that every diver knew exactly what to expect and that helped a lot, especially on some drift dives, which were quite challenging. Also, the protection of the reef is pointed out again and again and that you should not touch or break anything. We thought that was very good. They have carefully selected the dive sites and tried their best to avoid diving with other boats as much as possible. The diving groups consisted of a maximum of 4 people per guide, which was a reason for us to book this boat. In general, there is room for a maximum of 12 guests on the boat and we had a great group! Our Seaviewcabin was lovely, the view of the small islets from the bed was wonderful. Since it is a wooden boat, it sometimes dripped in a bit during heavy rain, but that didn't bother us. :) One afternoon, Matt, a naturalist, came on board to tell us more about sharks and manta rays, which was very exciting. We also liked the shore excursions, the aperitif on the beach and the trip to Jellyfish Lake very much. Everything was always prepared with love and cold drinks were always included.We can recommend the Jelajahi Laut to anyone who is looking for a family atmosphere, good security and fine food and attaches importance to taking care of our underwater world. Many thanks to Cam & Eric, Arisman, Saldi & Basir, Jamal & Dasir, Burhan & Kipli, Ramli & Romi, Elim & David and Kris & Dani. We would love to come back.

Absolutely amazing time
I had an absolutely amazing time diving for 5 days with Jelajahi Laut at Komodo! The crew was super friendly and really went out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable. The food was delicious—such a treat! The liveaboard was spacious, so I could enjoy my own privacy even while sharing the experience with 11 other wonderful people. I loved every minute of it!

Great 7day/ 6 night trip in Raja! Would do it again with this crew!
Amazing diving! Top notch crew and dive guides, plenty of food, comfortable cabins, lots of space on the boat for relaxing. Safety was the top priority with a briefing for the boat on day one and dive briefings before each dive. Accommodates up to 14 guests, which was the perfect sizer for me. Chef prepared great meals with a bounty at each sitting! Eric and Camie are top notch cruise directors and the staff was warm, welcoming, and great to hang out with.

Wonderful 6 day trip to Komodo
Mikumba was my first liveaboard diving experience, and I could not have asked for anything more on the 6-day trip in Komodo. Every single one of the crew did a fantastic job with a smile. The boat was new and a good size, I booked the standard cabin which was basic but clean, the food was varied and delicious, the group of divers were great, the dive guides were attentive, helpful, and friendly, and cruise directors Eric and Cami worked non-stop both behind the scenes and centre stage to deliver a smooth and fun experience on the boat, in the water, and on the land-based outings. One memorable experience was to witness the presentation of Pocari Sweat on Komodo's "Pride Rock" equivalent to the Circle Of Life. The diving itself was brilliant. It had been a while since my last dive, so the team offered a refresher during the first dive. The crew were always on hand to help with the gear. And under water, the amount of marine life was wonderful, and the encounters ranged from manta rays, turtles and sharks, to a myriad of micro stuff. I wholeheartedly recommend Mikumba. Thank you for a fantastic liveaboard experience!
