Customer Review
”Amazing Experience. Our first proper liveaboard experience and we were not disappointed. Komodo was every bit as stunning as we had been told it was and sailing around it on a boat as beautiful as Mutiara Laut, with a Crew as brilliant as we had was an absolute pleasure. Could not recommend highly enough. Hopefully see you in Raja Ampat soon!” Recommended for: Dive Sites, Crew, Food.

”We had a fabulous holiday sailing around Indonesia on the Mutiara Laut. Snorkeling the Cathedral cave in southern Raja Ampat was awesome. The fish schools in Raja Ampat were just amazing and so many surprises, never seen a red anemone before! Wall diving, bommies, drift diving, sea monoliths, coral gardens…so much to see. Plus the food was really great and lots of it.” Recommended for: Small group, great crew, yummy food.
