Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Loved everything about this trip. My husband and I just spent 11 nights on Samambaia over Christmas and New Years and it was the adventure of a lifetime. It was our first liveaboard experience, so I did extensive research on boats and routes before we made a decision. We could not have made a better choice with Samambaia. Everything was top. The room was comfortable, the shower was great, the food (omg the food!), the gear in great condition, and the crew was incredible. Of course, the dive sites were unbelievable. As this was our first liveaboard experience, in the legendary Raja Ampat on such an amazing boat - we joke that nothing will ever compare again, but seriously - I don't know where to go from here. We are spoiled forever. We want to come back one day and dive Komodo on Samambaia. If you are considering booking a trip on this boat, do it!!!”
Recommended for: The crew. The dive sites. The food.
