Amaya Explorer, Indonesia

Amaya is the GOAT BOAT in Komodo

There are dozens of boats to choose from in Komodo - but Amaya stands out. The new boat is so clean, the staff is warm and welcoming - plus the diving is some of the best in the world. Would love to return in the future, its that good! On Amaya we came as strangers and left as family amongst the staff and crew. Everyone was happy! 1 million stars!!

The crew/staff, the modern boat, the diving

Great time in the water and great time on board the Amaya explorer.

A great week with a wonderful group on the Amaya explorer. The staff are lovely and attentive to all your needs. The dives were very focused on finding the hammerheads which wasn’t important to me and our guide picked up on that and tried hard to balance the diving. The visibility in the blue was not great but that’s the ocean for you. Still we saw lots of eels- amazing fish- octopus eagle rays- sea snake- anemones- Scorpio fish the manta and yes the hammerheads. A great experience with a great crew wonderful food - will definitely return to the Amaya!

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

A must do

Amazing experience. Would highly recommend! The crew are very welcoming and knowledgeable, the boat is amazing and in great shape. The food is amazing (although sometimes too much). Will definitely join the Amaya on my next Liveaboard!

Fantastic boat, crew and location (Komodo)

When we failed to see Manta's at two hopeful spots, the staff changed up our last dive so we could try again (unfortunately still not our lucky day). The food quality was fantastic and staff very accommodating. There were some nights where the boat rocking made it tough to sleep so definitely make the most of the calm patches during the day to get a nap or two in. The diving was incredible and staff knowledgeable about the area and dive sites. There were times where as a group we would have preferred to be earlier as were last/not first to hikes or dive sites but wasn't a big deal. As a vegetarian there were plenty of options although it was always the food to run out first given non vegetarians would eat both options so would bring some additional snacks just in case.

Awesome first live aboard experience

I really enjoyed this trip in Komodo. The scenery is spectacular and it was a privilege to see a Komodo dragon. The Amaya is a beautiful boat, plenty of shady spots on deck to read and relax between dives (or sun yourself if you wish). The staff were awesome - so friendly and helpful. The food was great - I can’t believe the quality and variety produced in that little galley. We had a couple of special dinners on the deck that were wonderful. The diving that I managed to do was very enjoyable (sadly a cold interfered and I missed some dives) - our dive guide Wilson was excellent and helped us keep the dives appropriate for our skill level. I would love to go back and visit Raja with the Amaya crew one day. Thank you to you all!
