Reviews

KLM Gaya Baru Indah is a 23m traditional Phinisi schooner running short, affordable cruises around Raja Ampat and the Banda Sea. Perfect for young budget conscious divers and groups, this liveaboard takes a maximum of 8, typically with no more than 4 divers per guide.

Surface time is normally spent relaxing above deck. During the daytime awnings are in place to provide shade. These are removed in the evening so you can enjoy the starry starry nights. You relax on sunbeds and sun mats on the main deck or use the tables and chairs on the upper deck. Sun lovers can always find a bright spot to work on their tans.

Meals are normally enjoyed in the indoor dining area with open louvres on both sides allowing for cross breezes to add to the fan cooled ambience. The chef will present a range of dishes consisting both of western favourites including pasta, salads, soups and meat dishes, as well as Indonesian fare featuring rice, fresh fish and local herbs and spices. Simple snacks are available at all times as well as drinking water, tea and coffee. Note, there are no wines or spirits on board.

Nitrox is free of charge! The dive deck features bench seating with underseat storage for your smaller pieces of scuba gear. There are separate camera and equipment rinse tanks. 2 tenders ferry the small dive groups to and from the sites making the diving procedure a breeze. For charging there is a 220V supply with 30 round 2-pin sockets (European standard) at the charging station in the hall outside the cabins. Electricity supply is available from 6 am to 10 pm. Gaya Baru Indah means new beautiful style and is a great option if your style is an affordable, easy going, small group Indonesia liveaboard.

From Bali there are convenient connections via Ujung Pandang (Makassar) and Manado. We can help you arrange return domestic flights between Bali or Jakarta and Sorong if necessary. You can make your way to the departure point in Waisai independently (there is a Sorong Waisai ferry leaving at 09:00 hrs). Guests meet at the tourist information in Waisai harbour at 11:00 hrs. Alternatively there is an optional Sorong airport/hotel to ferry transfer and pre-arranged ferry ticket service. Be ready for pick up from 7:00 hrs from the airport/hotel to be taken to the ferry and given your ferry tickets. Boat departs from Waisai at 13:00 hrs. If your cruise ends in Waisai you will disembark in time for the ferry at 14:00 hrs. Expected arrival back in Sorong is 16:00 hrs.

Sorong hotels and airport pick-ups at 8:00-9:00 hrs, depart port at 10:00 hrs. Boat arrives Kaimana at 12:00 hrs and immediately disembarks. We recommend 1 night in a hotel in Kaimana before flying back to Sorong.

Customer reviews:

"Great liveaboard experience in Raja Ampat. The food was good, and the crew was amazing. They catered to my gluten-free dietary needs. I enjoyed the dives and what they pointed out to me. I also appreciated how accommodating they were to me.
Air circulation in the cabins could be improved. It got very hot at night, even with the fans. Also they advertised nitrox on the dives but it wasn't available." - Joan Kato, United States, 4 March 2023 ...
