Experience the ultimate Komodo Liveaboard adventure with La Galigo. Enjoy world-class Komodo diving liveaboard trips to stunning dive sites.
La Galigo is built for divers who care about time underwater, genuine connection onboard, and the confidence to fully relax at sea. We keep things intentionally small, personal, and experience-driven, so every trip feels less like a package and more like a shared journey, guided by people who truly love what they do.
We operate with a limited number of guests, allowing space to breathe, move, and truly enjoy each dive day. This intimacy creates a relaxed onboard atmosphere where guests are known by name, not cabin number, and every detail feels considered, not rushed.
Our itineraries, schedules, and daily flow are shaped around the dives themselves. From site selection to timing, everything is designed to maximise quality underwater time, unhurried briefings, and memorable encounters, not ticking boxes or following crowds.
Safety is woven into every part of our operation, from conservative dive planning and clear briefings to experienced guides and disciplined onboard procedures. This allows divers to relax, focus, and fully enjoy the experience, knowing they are in capable hands.
Our crew combines Indonesian hospitality with international standards, creating an onboard environment that feels friendly, respectful, and natural. They are attentive without being intrusive, professional without being distant, and always happy to share a smile, a story, or a helping hand.
Komodo offers some of Indonesia’s most iconic and diverse dive sites, known for strong currents, big fish, and pristine reefs. Highlights include:
Sites vary between North, Central, and South Komodo, each offering a different underwater personality.
Komodo is a year-round dive destination, but conditions vary by season:
April–November: Best overall conditions, calmer seas, excellent visibility
December–March: Warmer water in the south, incredible macro life, fewer crowds
Manta rays can be seen all year, with peak sightings often between December and March.
Yes, while we don’t offer a fixed 7-day trip, we have two carefully designed Komodo liveaboard itineraries that fall right around that duration, giving you flexible options depending on how much time you have.
Jurassic Komodo – 6 Days / 5 Nights
A compact yet powerful itinerary that covers Komodo’s highlights, including iconic dive sites, manta encounters, and Komodo dragon exploration. Ideal if you want the full Komodo experience in a shorter timeframe.
Ultimate Komodo – 8 Days / 7 Nights
Our most comprehensive itinerary, allowing more time in North, Central, and South Komodo. Expect additional dives, greater site variety, and a deeper immersion into Komodo’s marine biodiversity.
Both itineraries are designed to maximize diving quality rather than rushing locations, ensuring a balanced and unforgettable Komodo experience—whether you choose a shorter adventure or the ultimate exploration.
Currents can range from mild to very strong. This is what makes Komodo so rich in marine life—but it also means dives are carefully planned around tides and experience levels.
Komodo is one of the rare places where big and small marine life coexist, including:
Manta rays, reef sharks, turtles
Schools of fish, napoleon wrasse
Pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs, and rare macro species
The remote paradise of Raja Ampat lies in the far reaches of eastern Indonesia. So, how do you get there? Your journey begins with an international flight into Indonesia, followed by a domestic flight to Domine Eduard Osok Airport in Sorong (SOQ).
As the largest city and capital of Southwest Papua, Sorong serves as the main gateway for liveaboard dive boats exploring Raja Ampat. Though getting to this secluded paradise requires a bit of extra time and preparation, the rewards are well worth the effort.
Raja Ampat stands as Indonesia’s crown jewel, known for its remarkable biodiversity, awe-inspiring landscapes, and some of the finest dive sites on the planet.
Indonesia offers multiple international airports throughout its archipelago. Most international visitors typically arrive via Jakarta or Bali, as both airports provide direct domestic flights to Sorong.
Upon arrival in Indonesia, passengers are required to go through customs and immigration with all the required documents, including a visa, before proceeding to baggage claim to retrieve their belongings. Most domestic airlines in Indonesia do not have baggage transfer agreements with major international carriers, meaning travelers must collect their luggage and check in for onward domestic flights.
To ensure you don’t miss your La Galigo departure, we recommend arriving in Sorong the day before and booking an overnight stay at a local hotel. La Galigo has negotiated special rates with select hotels—contact our reservations team for more information on pricing.
