Learn more about La Galigo

La Galigo is a traditional phinisi built in Bira, South Sulawesi, in 2012. The hull is ironwood, the interiors are tropical teak, and she weighs over 169 gross tons. There is a dive platform at the rear, en-suite cabins with sea views, and a soundproofed engine room. The 7 cabins come in 3 classes (Deluxe, Master, Suite) and take up to 14 people.

The Cabins

Deluxe Cabins

The lower deck cabins feature an American-style deep spring bed that can be converted into twin beds upon request. Also, each of the cabins has its private ensuite, equipped with hot fresh showers and climate control.

Master Cabins

The main deck master cabins have sea views and direct access to the sun deck, with a deep spring bed that converts between double and twin. Each has a private en-suite with a hot freshwater shower.

Suite

The grand suite is the largest cabin on board: a double bedroom, an extra large en-suite, and a private balcony with 270-degree views, plus a private lounge with a couch, a 48” full HD TV and a fridge.

Dining, Relaxation, and Safety on board

La Galigo Liveaboard caters to your requirements and offers various dining options. Enjoy buffet meals, snacks, vegetarian options, but ask for vegan options in advance. Furthermore, you can enjoy drinks and snacks throughout the day.

There is a large restaurant and bar with a 48″ full HD TV, plus a library of films, books and games. The sundeck has both open and shaded areas. The crew are first aid trained and the boat carries industry-standard safety equipment.

Itineraries, Diving & other Activities aboard La Galigo

La Galigo offers the Jurassic Komodo and Ultimate Komodo itineraries. These options provide a range of marine life encounters, from shallow coral reefs to deep seamounts. Or, if you’re seeking the remote beauty of West Papua, the Diving Raja Ampat South itinerary is for you, with opportunities to see mantas and sharks up close. La Galigo provides fixed itineraries in Komodo and Raja Ampat. However, they can also accommodate requests to venture into other areas of Indonesia.

Trips can be built around snorkelling, scuba diving, birdwatching or freediving. Divers need certification from a recognised agency such as PADI, NAUI, SSI or BSAC, and anyone who has not dived in a year must take a refresher course.
