World class diving made possible by superb dive guides know the sites - and importantly the tides!
So much diversity on dives - some were wild current with pelagics, mantas and sharks, some were as coral rich and diverse as Raja Ampat, each dive had amazing features… octopus play, cuttlefish mating, sharks hunting prey… weeks worth of dive experiences in 5 days. The Sokaraja has a great crew and wonderful spirit.

Above and beyond - best value and experience
Fabulous trip, superior to another similar priced liveaboard in Komodo NP. Excellent experience all around, including a sunset trek to a spectacular viewpoint and the classic visit to the dragons. All the big name dive sites and kind and helpful staff. I fell sick with sinus issues and was given the best care, substituting dives for snorkeling.

Absolutely fantastic!
Boat with 2 private cabins (we stayed in one) and 6 bunk beds. No A/C, but not really needed. Staff super friendly, food was fantastic. Diveguides and divesites great mix with driftdives and walldives. Felt safe at all times. Super nice sundeck and places to hang out in both sun and shade. Easy booking. Would go again any time!

Best Experience!
Our Liveaboard with Sokaraja was the best experience during our one month trip in Indonesia! The crew is just the best and will make your stay with them perfect. But we're here for the diving, right? So how was it? We loved every single dive! Komodo is such a great place for diving because you have a lot of different topographies, currents, corals, fish and so on. So we saw a lot of amazing things down there. Turtles, sharks, mantas...you name it. You'll get a detailled briefing with a meticulous and beautiful handdrawn map of the divesite right before every dive. And when you're not diving you can relax on the really nice boat, play some games, go for a swim or have fun with the crew. The food was also nice and everyone got their bellys stuffed :) We had the dorm cabin but slept under the stars on deck which was also amazing and since there is no light pollution you can see the milky way and sooo many stars! The value for the money is the best. We really recommend doing the trip with Sokaraja :)

Great live aboard on the Sokaraja - I recommend 100%
We spent 4 days and 3 nights aboard the Sokaraja. It was our first diving cruise and we can't recommend it: the boat is perfectly adapted, the whole crew very nice and the program varied. A big thank you to Adrianna, always smiling and listening: we loved diving with you!

- The team - super dive masters. The comfort of the boat - with several distinct areas and the deck. The meals very good and varied.
