“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!”

Mutiara Laut Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Mutiara Laut Liveaboard review to help you choose the right liveaboard with confidence. As a qualified diving instructor and Advanced BSAC Diver with 500+ dives worldwide, I've helped countless divers pick their perfect liveaboard - whether it's your first time liveaboard or you're an experienced diver seeking your next adventure.

Read more about Russell's diving experience

My diving experience spans cold-water UK drysuit dives, warm coral reefs in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and South Africa. As a former BSAC Diving Officer, I've led dive training and operations. I've logged every type of dive: decompression stop deep dives, wreck dives, shark dives, night dives, drift dives, and everything in between. This hands-on experience means I know exactly what makes a great liveaboard experience, having dived from liveaboards myself and loved it. This is why I came up with the SDE Liveaboard Rating* to help you choose the best liveaboard for you.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

“Our time aboard Mutiara Laut has exceeded all others to date - such a fantastic cruise around northern Raja Ampat. There is nothing that would lead me to write anything remotely negative about our time on this cruise - 10/10. The snorkel locations were exceptionally well chosen and our guide Arie showed his vast experience both in and out of the water at all times. Even having to alter plans due to bad weather up north made no difference to the overall experience. Dining in or out was handled by the crew perfectly and any request to any of them never a problem. It goes without saying that we absolutely are looking forward to setting sail on Mutiara Laut again when time permits.”

Recommended for: The absolute professionalism and friendliness of the crew.. The overall variety and excellence of the menu.. The vessel is simply faultless in all aspects..
