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..
