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!

Had a great trip. The alternation between beautiful dives and cool trips made it perfect. Even though there were some unforeseen problems, the crew did everything they could to solve it as soon as possible. Everything happened with a smile! You literally didn't have to think about anything: everything was taken care of. The food was also very tasty and varied. The trip costs a bit, but is totally worth it.

Flawless
Everything went off seamlessly. The entire trip was perfectly accommodating in every way. The food was absolutely fantastic and well above what I was expecting. The entire crew was welcoming, professional, and went out of their way to help whenever they could. The dive briefings were extremely thorough and made the dive easy because you knew exactly what to expect. The master divers where great and took good care of you above and below the water. They did absolutely everything for you and welcomed you back with delicious snacks and warm drinks. My first liveaboard and all future ones I will be doing have a hard standard to live up to. Would highly recommend this ship and crew.
