The Raja Ampat Explorer is 33.5m long liveaboard that specialises in economy diving cruises in Raja Ampat. It operates 10 night trips all year round that explore the entire region of this incredible marine park in West Papua.

Up to just 14 guests can be accommodated on board in 7 en-suite cabins. The low number of guests is great to avoid 'diver traffic' underwater and for plenty of personalised service from the crew of 9. The Raja Ampat Explorer features an air-conditioned saloon/dining area with entertainment facilities such as TV, CD / DVD Player, a small library, satelite telephone, and a sun deck with awning, chairs and mats for those who prefer to relax outdoors.

Diving is conducted from 2 x 8-man motorised tenders with 40 HP engines. The dive deck features dive stations and an outdoor shower. The saloon has a dedicated camera and charging station. Liveaboard cruises on the locally-owned Raja Ampat Explorer mean that the incredible sites of Raja Ampat are now open to more scuba divers, since the affordable prices make it possible for many more travellers to experience this wonderful region. Each trip includes hiking opportunities and land visits to a lagoon and view points, and can be combined with a land-based dive package at the operator's local resort.
