Unforgettable!
I was just giddy so often - the mantas, the sharks, the turtles, the whale sharks! The Shotgun was exhilarating! Even the really calm dive sites were so beautiful and I would come out with my mind so relaxed! The guides were excellent - great eye for spotting creatures, big and small, and very adept at finding the right places to position us to observe mantas or sleeping sharks or whale sharks, and made sure we were safe when the currents were strong. We were also extremely fortunate with the cohort of divers - all fun, friendly, helpful, kind, generous and just good people. The land excursions were well chosen and just as unforgettable.

The crew is the heart of the operation in all manner - they are a solid team and a FUN happy family. The crew on LG are endlessly cheerful, superlatively helpful, proactive, organized but flexible, reliable, hard working, efficient, generous to guests and each other, sincerely caring, attentive to detail, thorough. And musically talented!. Almost all of the dives were great to spectacular. The boat is a beauty..

The whole trip was amazing from beginning till the end. We felt always welcome on board and the crew took care of everything to make the trip an amazing experience for us. The dive sites were amazing and the dives were well prepared and organized, starting from the briefing till the end on the boat when the crew took care of our gear. We managed to see a huge variety of wild live from pygmy seahorses to giant mantas.

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!

Our experience on the La Galigo was most excellent!
The highlights of this trip surrounded the attention to the dive site itinerary. The trip planners and the dive guides balanced the weather with the dive sites to assure optimal exposure to the best possible dive sites. The entire crew could not have been more friendly, and their attention to detail and commitment to ensure an enjoyable trip was quite evident. Chief Gibo was most pleasant and attentive to the dietary needs of the passengers and prepared some excellent dishes every meal...the barbecue on the last evening was top notch! Dive guides Fendy and Dody were both excellent guides and made every dive insightful and enjoyable as well as safe. My wife and I had a spectacular trip and give the La Galigo and her crew our highest recommendation!

A memorable liveaboard on a fabulous boat with the best crew.
This liveaboard was defintely my favourite for the quality and luxury of the boat and the cabin which was cleaned every day. The friendliness and helpfulness of the crew, and the cruise director was very knowledgeable and helpful and the dive guides really knew what they were looking at and where to find it. It was easy to dive as all of your equipment is stored in one place and the crew help to gear up and clean everything after. The food was varied and tasty and there was plenty! Loved it and would definitely recommend this liveaboard.

The boat is just beautiful. It’s so well run and everything is spotless and well maintained. The crew were so helpful and friendly and everything is done for you including washing your kit on the last day and after every dive. First dive boat I have been on that doesn’t smell at the end of a trip. The groups are small. 4 people per dive guide and perfect to enjoy each dive, adapting to your groups needs. The food was very good. The beds were the most comfortable I have slept on, on a Liveaboard and large showers! A bonus. It’s so well run and organised.

Fabulous all around! Highly recommend this team and company!
We had a phenomenal week with La Galigo in Komodo National Park. The entire tour was well organized from start to finish. The diving and sea life was spectacular! Very rich marine life, both pelagics and micro. Thrilling drifts and busy muck dives as well, full of creatures! Our guides were attentive and the groups are small, max 1:4. The sites were not too busy, in general. The dive briefings onboard this operation are next level artistry! The site topography maps are something you could hang on the wall - maybe a future merch idea! Rental gear was in good condition, and our personal gear was well cared for. The food onboard was delicious, plentiful and with lots of variety each day. There was one vegetarian onboard our trip and there were always lots of options for everyone. The boat itself was stunning. Beautiful interior, lots of space to spread out and lounge comfortably between dives, whether you want sun, shade or to be indoors. Our cabin was spacious, as was our bathroom. Hot showers with strong water pressure and reef safe shampoo/conditioner/body wash was provided! Land excursions were fabulous. We did a beautiful sunset hike, as well as a visit to see the Komodo dragons on Rinca. Rinca has good infrastructure, is clean and well maintained, and we had a very educational guided tour with many free roaming wild Komodo dragons who seemed peaceful, and well protected from tourists by the rangers. Last but definitely not least, the staff onboard our trip were absolutely fabulous. You couldn’t ask for better people. Everyone was happy to help in any way they could, they all seemed to be in a great mood every minute of the day, and truly seemed to enjoy our and each other’s company. Our cruise director, Jaka, was competent, confident and knowledgeable. He did an excellent job making sure everyone was informed all the way through, and that everyone’s whims, wants and needs were taken care of immediately! Highly recommend this company if you are going to Indonesia to dive!

Remarkable Raja Ampat
The La Galigo crew and the Raja Ampat 12 day destination was a remarkable scuba diving trip. The dive sites and itinerary was exceptional and we were fortunate to see so much of the beauty and wildlife that Raja Ampat is famous for. I enjoyed the food each day and felt that the crew overall - from dive guides, to cook staff, engineers and the deck crew were very professional and kind. I think this is a trip that redefines my goals for scuba trips going forward. I recommend La Galigo to others and hope they enjoy it as much as we did!

Amazing Adventure
An amazing experience on every level. The diving was amazing with so much variety even in only one week. We also had the opportunity to take some excursions such as hiking where the scenery was truly exotic and even had the opportunity to meet some of the locals on out islands. The food was fantastic! (Hats off to our chef Raja). And, we also had the unexpected pleasure of having the owner on board with us who made sure we got the best experience possible. The marine life in this area of the world is unparalleled. Everything from pygmy seahorses to 6 meter mantas. Furthermore the variety of dive sites and experiences was superb. Walls, reefs, slopes, gardens, drift diving and the list goes on. With four dives a day, we got to see a lot of the best sites. And to top it off, we were almost, with only a few exceptions, the only boat there. The small size of the boat (13 guests) allowed for some great friendships to emerge. Looking forward to staying in touch with new friends. Can't say enough about it. It's the best dive trip I've taken to date!

The best liveaboard in Komodo!
My wife and I just finished the Jurassic (6 day 5 night) Komodo dive liveaboard and it was incredible! The boat - beautiful Phinisi boat purpose built for diving. Awesome spacious dive deck with big wash tanks, excellent gear storage and a perfect camera station. Great chill out areas for between dives with bean bags, sun beds and the right mix of sunny and shady spots. Super sturdy at sea, no rolling, no need to worry about sea sickness. Very well maintained and cared for with a beautiful main galley that was more than big enough to accommodate everyone comfortably. The best views at every meal! The cabins - the nicest cabins we've ever had on a dive liveaboard. We stayed in the deluxe double below deck and it was perfect. 3 cool brass portholes let in plenty of light and give great views. The cabin is roomy and has lots of storage, great AC and a very comfy bed! Huge bathroom with a hot shower. All very well appointed. The crew - can't say enough good things about this crew! The Cruise Director was awesome and looked after the whole boat so well. I had an issue that stopped me from diving on the last 2 days, and he made a special effort to take me out on some amazing snorkeling excursions while everyone else was diving so I didn't miss out on anything! He also contacted DAN on my behalf and took care of everything with complete professionalism. Every member of the crew looked after us with kind words and smiles every day. From the tender crew to the galley staff to the guys on the dive deck, everyone went above and beyond in every aspect and made us feel like family. They are such a fun crew with contagious energy and happiness! Our gear was always set up and waiting for us before each dive, loaded onto the tender and even cleaned and dried! Literally all we had to do was roll into the water! And roll was about all we could do after the ridiculous amount of incredible food they fed us every day! The food - We're both vegan and my wife is celiac so between the two of us, we're basically a chefs worst nightmare! But the kitchen staff on the Galigo didn't miss a beat. The chef made such a special effort to prepare amazing vegan gluten free feasts for us at every meal. His food is out of this world and we were treated to some of the best meals we've ever eaten! He is a magician! The diving - I won't go into much detail about the diving because if you're still reading this then you know how amazing the diving here is! What I will say is that all the dive guides on the Galigo were absolutely top tier! The dive briefings were fantastic (these guys are dive map artists!). Safety was always front and center and they made sure everyone was really comfortable and stayed safe in the currents at all times. Our guide was so professional and calm in all situations. His ability to spot wildlife is astounding and he always made sure everyone in the group saw everything. The itinerary is perfect hitting all the best dive spots at just the right times and delivering some of the best night dives ever! Thank you Galigo for the trip of a lifetime! We will definitely be back to dive Raja Ampat with you ASAP!
