Beyond what we can hope for
We loved everything, the landscapes are breathtaking, the most beautiful dives of our long life as divers: mantas, sharks, turtles, napoleon wrasse, but also pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs, shrimps... and even a marlin for some. A very caring crew, very helpful, a great service on board, a very beautiful and comfortable boat and promoting conviviality. Beautiful encounters on board and in the water. A huge thank you to Amaya!

- General organization of life on board, wonderful dives but also small trecks and a layout promoting exchanges between all. The quality of the boat and the crew. The proposed circuit allows you to discover sumptuous landscapes and extraordinary dives.

Thank you for hosting us
We really enjoyed our time on the boat—it was the best experience we had in Indonesia. The hospitality was excellent, from picking us up at the airport and transferring us to the boat, to the warm welcome onboard. The daily schedule was very clear and well organized. The staff made a genuine effort to accommodate our needs, including our food preferences, and the overall operation was very well managed. However, four dives a day felt a bit too much for us, and we would have preferred more opportunities to explore some of the Raja Ampat islands. Overall, the staff did their best to ensure our safety during dives, our comfort throughout the liveaboard experience, and smooth transfers between dive sites. Thank you all.

The My Amaya liveaboard experience was better than my Bali Retreat
Awesome crew with a great sense of humor and service attitude; always tasty food and a warm towel waiting with a smile for us after diving; amazing vibes throughout the week below and above water with tons of fun! Brillant boat design with 1 „big „family“ outdoor dining table that makes for a great sense of community, but also with a variety of individual time-out spots

Amazing experience with Amaya Explorer
I was extremely satisfied with the entire experience, from the comfortable dive preparation to the dives themselves. The food was delicious, and both the boat staff and dive masters were incredibly friendly and helpful. I also really loved that we went to the beach on the last day based on guests’ feedback — it was such a great touch. The boat was in excellent condition and very clean. One small suggestion would be to skip asking everyone to give a final speech on the last evening, as it might make some guests feel a bit uncomfortable.

Amazing
The service is exceptional, and the crew is very efficient. The corals of the Four Kings are very healthy, with large schools of fish. Will come back when there is a chance.

Seamless and incredible experience
The liveaboard experience with Amaya was unforgettable. The incredible teamwork and coordination between the crew created a very friendly, seamless and attentive environment that made me feel very taken care of, especially with the amazing food and beverage service throughout the trip. The professional dive guides were trustworthy and flexible, allowing me to have an incredible and unrestricted diving experience. The cabin and boat deck were also high-quality and very comfortable, making for amazing lounging and socialising between dives.
