Highlights
Specially designed for Tubbataha liveaboard diving, the Narayana yacht caters to up to 14 guests in 8 cozy cabins. Each cabin features private en-suite bathrooms, individually controlled AC, and storage space and offers queen-size double or twin bunk beds. The 6 double cabins on the middle deck also have a private balcony, perfect for relaxing in-between dives. Meals are served buffet-style in the indoor dining room and mix Western and local dishes. Social areas include the outdoor dining and lounge area and sun deck.
Philippine liveaboard dive cruises aboard the Narayana visit the Tubbataha National Park from March to June and El Nido, Coron & Apo Reef from October to December. Diving in Tubbataha Reef is only accessible via liveaboard and is fast becoming known as one of the best places to dive in the Philippines. With over 600 species of fish, 11 species of shark, and 13 species of dolphins and whales, it's easy to see why. These trips fill up fast, so booking in advance is advisable. The National Park of Apo Reef is home to the largest reef system in the Philippines and is full of marine life, large and small, offering excellent diving. Add to this the wrecks of Coron and the pristine waters of El Nido, and you will have a fantastic dive trip.
The experienced dive guides and crew are waiting to show you the underwater beauty of the Philippines. Book online today.

Narayana great experience!
Just know that you are going to go to one of the best diving areas in the country (and South Asia), in addition to being lucky if you have a great diving group, and the owners and staff (I include diving instructors) work hard so that you are as comfortable as possible and enjoy as much as possible, for you have a destiny that has no other result than ABSOLUTE SUCCESS.Highly recommended for shark lovers (and all kinds of multicolored coral and fish, you can't finish them), medium-low difficulty level. They ask for 50 dives, not because of the difficulty of diving, but because of the damage you can cause if you don't have enough experience and you load corals and so on, which is super protected, and I think this level is essential to respect a jewel like Tubbataha Reefs. Go go Dive!

Great liveaboard for the money!
The staff was amazing. Overly helpful. Did stuff I could easily handle, but went out of their way to go above and beyond to make it as great a trip as they could. The dive guides were amazing.

Dive with a good team. I really enjoy being with them
This liveaboard is good for budget fun diver. I read review beforehand. I already prepare to have small room and bed will not really big. This liveaboard provides caring and professional service. Dive guides are professional. Room is clean and crew are friendly. I am looking for great experience underwater. I really enjoy diving with this team. If any fun diver is looking for fancy hardware above water, this is not a good option for them.

Dives with splendid corals
The fact that you are in a small group allows you to enjoy yourself even more underwater and get to know each other more quickly. The staff is friendly and the meals are plentiful. The dives are beautiful in terms of coral although we didn't see any mantas/whale sharks.

Tubbataha is nice and Narayana is a safe and economical way to explore it
Narayana exceeded my expectations. Although the dive deck is pretty crowded, the crew tried their best to make diving convenient to everyone. The rooms have huge panoramic windows, the A/C at night works great, the food is mostly Philippine, which is perfect, as it gives an opportunity to explore new flavors. And the diving was very nice: beautiful corals, plenty of fishes, great visibility…

A wonderful week
It was a wonderful week. The water was very warm (always at least (!) 30-32 degrees), which is of course comfortable, but unfortunately did not involve much life. The dives are still fantastic and we would come back in a heartbeat.We were a bit disappointed that we were sold 19-20 dives (last day 3-4) and then it was clearly said that on the last day there would only be 2 dives (total 18). Should be adjusted. The crew was really great and the food super tasty. The boat is not the newest, but you can still make yourself comfortable. However, the AC in room 5 should possibly be retired - very loud, you can hardly sleep.
