La Galigo is a traditional Indonesian Phinisi liveaboard built for scuba-focused exploration across Indonesia’s richest marine regions. Created by divers for divers, the experience combines relaxed onboard comfort, expert guiding, and access to world-class reefs, drift dives, macro sites, manta encounters, remote islands, and iconic landscapes.
La Galigo is an authentic Phinisi crafted in the Bugis boatbuilding tradition of South Sulawesi. Its identity is rooted in Indonesian maritime heritage, while its onboard layout and service style are designed around practical dive travel, comfort between dives, and smooth exploration of remote archipelago regions.
The onboard atmosphere is easygoing, social, and diver-friendly. Guests can expect freshly prepared meals, relaxed communal spaces, shaded open-air areas, and a crew focused on safety, hospitality, and helping travellers make the most of each destination. The boat’s philosophy centres on safety, customer satisfaction, comfort, and passion for the ocean.
La Galigo is best suited to travellers who want Indonesia’s marine biodiversity at the heart of the journey. The core focus is scuba diving, with additional opportunities for snorkeling, island visits, wildlife encounters, viewpoint hikes, photography, and private charter customisation. Private charters can also support interests such as birdwatching, freediving, and bespoke island exploration.
La Galigo operates across some of Indonesia’s most celebrated dive regions, including Komodo National Park, Raja Ampat, Bangka, Lembeh, Sangihe, and Halmahera. Komodo combines powerful marine encounters with island landscapes, Pink Beach, Padar Island, and Komodo dragon experiences. Raja Ampat focuses on coral diversity, reef systems, drift diving, macro life, remote islands, viewpoints, and the waters of Misool, Dampier Strait, and Wayag.
