Gaya Baru Indah, Indonesien

Amazing Liveaboard experience in Raja

I did the 10 day tour through the South of Raja Ampat, and had an amazing time! The crew is so welcoming and friendly, the south seems to be the less traveled route due to the distance covered, and we were usually the only divers at the site, and our groups were small with 3 divers to a dive guide. On top of the diving, I loved the food, and they were able to easily accommodate the vegan members onboard with some very delicious meals! I will definitely book with them again if Im lucky enough to visit paradise twice and highly recommend them.

We had a really nice 7 day trip in Raja Ampat. They crew is great, food amazing and the dives there are stunning. We also liked that some excursions are part of the program. Additionally, it's great that the owner Ralph is constantly on board and makes sure everything works as expected.

the most beautiful and peaceful dive trip

I spent 7 days on the Gaya Baru Indah, diving in Raja Ampat. It was a fantastic experience. The boat had a lovely traditional charm, and the crew was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the trip, always making sure we were comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and plentiful, offering a variety of options to suit every taste. After each dive, there was nothing better than coming back to a yummy meal while enjoying the stunning views of the surrounding islands. The diving itself was amazing. The vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life made every dive memorable, with a wide range of sites to explore. The crew ensured everything went smoothly, making the whole experience safe and super enjoyable. The little traditions around leaving the boat to go diving and returning back always increased our already huge smiles and the vibe was heartwarmingly wholesome. Our trip was in September and the weather was perfect. Somehow we ended up having the boat to us, turning the already expected cozy max 8 divers to a private trip. Ralf told us a lot about Raja Ampat and we had pleasant and interesting talks about every topic imaginable. He managed the itinerary such that we hadn't any big overlaps with any other liveaboards and had most divesites completely to us. This not only meant more fish underwater and less distractions but it also allowed us to do everything in our own pace. A luxury you won't get on liveaboards with multiple times the cost. I'm glad we picked it over the few slighly cheaper options and I wouldn't pick any other boat over this one. Overall, it was such a beautiful and peaceful trip, and I'd highly recommend Big Blue/the Gaya Baru Indah for anyone looking for a liveaboard in Raja Ampat.

High levels of safety and service both on deck and underwater, also Adi and Asman are incredible chefs!! Would recommend for any advanced+ diver and would choose the Gaya Baru Indah/Big Blue again.
