Gaya Baru Indah 리브어보드, 인도네시아

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.

The beautiful dive sites. The private romantic boat. The incredibly good food and the wholesome crew.

Excellent value and service

Wonderful crew, wonderful ship, incredible dive sites. Can't ask for much more from 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.

Places and dive sites they took us. Crew Friendliness. Food.

Feel of an exclusive cruise but on a small boat

Our 1 week trip had a great itinerary including some outstanding dive sites and three excellent land excursions. The boat was beautiful, with plenty of space for relaxing and for kitting up. The crew and Ralph, one of the owners, were always on hand to help. We weren’t always fortunate with the weather or dive visibility but it didn’t detract from the whole lovely Raja Ampat experience. Would definitely recommend this liveaboard.
