The abundance of sea life. The crew that were very knowledgeable and responsible. Everybody was putting a lot of effort for us to enjoy the trip. Highly recommendable

The best experience of my life.
I spent 7 days on Ratu Laut and completely loved it. The boat is great, comfortable rooms, hot shower, nice places to chill and sunbathing. The crew was spectacular, always ready to help and full of smiles. The food was delicious and as flexible as possible concerning passengers preferences. And the diving sites, equipment, DM were awesome. In addition, Ratu Laut is part of the Barefoot Conservation, which does a great work with the people and reefs of Raja Ampat that we visited. So being in their boat also support their work in the area. I definitely recommend it.

Paradise found: Ratu Laut, the dream making crew
Experiencing Raja Ampat with dive masters who truly love the place is a major highlight. It was apparent that the crew knew what they were doing and the knowledge they passed to us enriched the entire experience. The entire focus of the trip was dive dive dive and we never missed a beat.
Recommended for: I would say the location was the best thing and dive sites, but never have I had the pleasure to sail with such an amazing crew who created the experience of a lifetime. Wendy, our leader, put together an action packed week and still managed to keep it chill. The entire time felt like a itinerary tailor made for the small amount of guests on board. And knowing our money is going towards conservation efforts is a major bonus as well.
Amazing staff and breath taking dives
The staff were super kind, polite, Wendy our dive master and manager of the boat was super nice, always taking care of us and making sure we were having a great experience overall. The dive sites were really beautiful, but also having the chance of doing different things like visiting Arborek island and Barefoot NGO work with the local community, doing a tracking to see Birds Paradise in Waigeo, understanding better about coral diversity and having the freedom to change plans by being in a Live Aboard.
