Great crew, excellent service, good food, spectacular diving. Worth every penny.
This was a great trip. The crew was awesome and the diving spectacular. Everything was focused on service comfort and dive safety. The dive masters were thorough in their briefings and were very attentive under water. They also were great in finding and pointing out fish and other critters we otherwise may have missed. I also appreciated the few excursions (e.g to the Komodo dragon reserve).

Absolutely breathtaking experience
The entire trip was one big highlight. The surroundings were stunning above and below water. The dive sites were so varied, so we got to see everything from tiny cuttlefish to huge manta rays close up. The staff were incredible and the entire trip was a five star experience.

Great diving in Komodo with the Lady Denok
I have been on a number of liveaboards and this is up there with the best. Jimmy is a great Dive Director, and the crew (so many of them – out number the guests), were fantastic – gave 100% to make trip enjoyable and memorable. Would definitely dive again work the Lady Denok.

More than we imagined
The crew takes remarkable pride in what they do, they went beyond what would be expected. You get a genuine feel that it is not just a job for them. You are definitely going to leave the boat a little bit heavier with all the great food. The dive masters are very knowledgeable and can see from the tiniest 2 mm creatures to unbelievable large mantas. The cabin was very spacious and comfortable.

I Can’t Wait To Go Back
The boat was very comfortable and the staff was amazing. They did everything possible to make the trip comfortable for everyone. Due to a cancelled Lion Air flight they even made arrangements to get us to the airport a day early and send a staff member to make sure we made it on time!

Amazing
The diving, Raja Ampat is one of the most amazing destinations in the world. The kindness of the crew makes the trip a must. The boat is comfortable. Made of wood is creates a warm atmosphere all along the cruise. The cook made a lot of effort in creativity to offer a great choice and mix between western and Indonesian food. Raja Ampat is a must see place.

Amazing trip
We did a 7 days Komodo trip, which included 2 land activities, which we enjoyed a lot The dive guide are really nice people, always trying their best to find us all interesting things underwater. Especially our guide Benni, he is very helpful and always taking care all of us really well, we enjoyed the super typhoon-like current in shot gun, it was really fun! And the food, I didnβt know I love Indonesian food so much, fried rice and fried noodle are so delicious! The only down point is we didnβt see any Manta, but the crew really has tried all the best, just we having bad luck

Awesome trip to spectacular dive sites in Raja Ampat
Concerning the animals we got to see different sharks, turtles, manta rays, nudi branches etc etc. The atmosphere on board was really good wit international guests, all from western countries but a few living in south east asia. The bost itself certainly is no luxury vessel but completely sufficient for what it is and charming. We’d come for a second trip any time.

The dive sites were great and the guides very knowledgable about the fauna and where to find it. On and off board the staff was very attentive and put in a great effort. Also as vegetarians/vegans we got tasty food with a good variety.

Unfortunatly the six days went by in a flash
The range of dives. There were dives in different areas with different things to see. We saw big stuff like sharks and mantas, plenty of turtles, down to the small stuff like pygmy seahorses and lots of nudibranchs. Jimmy the dive guide was very knowledgeable about each of the 17 dive sites we visited, drew good maps (from memory) and gave excellent briefings before each dive. Coming up from a dive and stepping back onto the Lady Denok 5 minutes later to be handed a delicious ginger tea was also a pleasure I looked forward to.
