Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Great diving. Extraordinary Boat. Palau has some truly stunning reefs, congregations of dish, and endless walls, which was the highlight of the diving for me. Some of the very popular dive sites closer to Koror get quite crowded, which wasn’t great—but when you go to Peleilu it’s basically empty. When the visibility is good and there are very few divers in the water, it is quite breathtaking. The Gaia Solitude was a next-level experience as far as accommodations go. The ship is brand new and the accommodations are impeccable. I’ve done many liveaboards all over the world and this was definitely the best boat I’ve been on, no questions asked.”
Recommended for: A+++ accommodations. Best boat I’ve ever been on and probably one of the best in the world. Excellent dive staff and boat crew—cared deeply about making sure we had the best dives and onboard experience possible. Solid diving—especially on Peleilu.
