A very comfortable cruise in one of the true dive paradises
An unforgettable cruise : one of the best dive areas on the planet, on a very stylish and comfortable boat. The wildlife in Raja Ampat is extremely diverse and rich (although it is not the best place on earth for large numbers of big pelagic fish and mammals, like sharks, whale sharks or mantas). The Ultimate cruise takes you to both the north and the south areas of the park.

- Extremely friendly and efficient crew on board. The dive guide knew the sites very well and had unreal knack for spotting the tiny stuff. The relatively small number of divers making for a more enjoyable experience.

Excellent liveaboard run by experienced, friendly and efficient crew
Highly recommended! Excellent liveaboard run by experienced, friendly and efficient crew. I would definitely recommend La Galigo to anyone looking for a Komodo or Raja Ampat diving liveaboard. I have been on many liveaboards around the world and would count this in my top 1-2! Very difficult to find anything bad to say about it.
- Recommended for
- Fabulous crew! Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful and well trained.. Incredible food! Some of the best food I've had on a liveaboard. It was a great combination of local Indonesian and Western.. Great dive schedule. Very well planned balance between diving and land excursions. Plenty of diving for those of us that want to be in the water all the time, but also good balance of other stuff for everyone else..
