My 12-day liveaboard journey in Raja Ampat aboard La Galigo was nothing short of extraordinary.
The combination of pristine diving, exceptional service, and the professionalism of the crew made this trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The dive team on La Galigo delivered outstanding guidance and safety, enriching every dive with their knowledge and passion for marine life. From large pelagics like mantas to macro treasures hidden in coral reefs, every dive revealed the extraordinary biodiversity that makes Raja Ampat so unique. Equally impressive was the onboard service. The La Galigo crew operated with seamless coordination, providing world-class hospitality at every step — from dive preparation to exquisite meals and comfortable accommodations. Their genuine warmth and attention to detail elevated the experience far beyond expectations. This journey was filled with magical moments, both underwater and on deck, and I wholeheartedly recommend La Galigo to any diver considering Raja Ampat. It is an ideal choice for both seasoned and first-time visitors to this region, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and truly unforgettable adventure.

My first liveaboard experience at La Galigo exceeded all expectations
The people of La Galigo ensured that the trip was extra special. The cabins and the boat was impeccably clean. From every meal to all the post dive drinks and snacks - it was all delicious. The dives were very well orchestrated with detailed briefings. The dive guides took utmost care of every diver and ensured we spotted everything from macro life to pelagics.

Amazing Trip!
We had the best time on La Galigo. The service was excellent, right from the start we were greeted with lots of love. The room was comfortable and clean. Throughout the whole trip, great food was served and we especially enjoyed the numerous vegetarian options. The service around diving was higher than anything we have encountered elsewhere with everyone being exceptionally attentive. We hope to come back one day!
