We had the best time cruising Raja Ampat with Teman. Everything is taken care of so we could relax and enjoy. The food on board is amazing; fish/chicken/vegtables/fruit. Everyday a different dish. There are also a lot of nice snacks you can pick. Hot & cold water are always there. You get your own waterbottle to use for the week which you can fill. Beer & (sparkling) wine are also available for a good price. The islands, dive/snorkel sites are unbelievable beautiful. Everytime we went out to dive or snorkel we had a briefing about the place so we knew what to expect (currents/best spots). Afterwards we went to the dingy and the crew packed all of our stuff (snorkel/finns). After we got back on the boat the crew prepared a ‘welcome back drink’. Everyday a different one, we all loved them! The (aircon) room was very clean. Everyday the crew made up the bed. We were able to open the windows as well. There were a lot of spots for electricity & clean towels for the private bathroom with hot & cold water. In the beginning I felt a bit nervous about diving in the middle of Raja. Rayane (the guide) told me that they had two dive guides so they were able to split up the group. One guide went out for a deep dive with an advanced diver & one guide was able to come with me & my boyfriend (open water divers). In this way I could decide what dept I was comfortable with. That made me feel very relaxed. Of course I felt good about this and we went out for an unforgettable dive! The crew feels like a family afterwards.. they really made us feel like home. Said, Rayane.. we can’t thank you and the crew enough. A week we’ll never forget! Hope to see you again!

Our stay at Teman exceeded all our expectations! Everything was incredible, and it truly became one of the greatest experiences of our lives. Starting with the crew, Moses and his team were exceptionally friendly and always ready to help. The itinerary was thoughtfully designed to balance diving with other activities such as hiking, trekking, snorkeling, and relaxing on beautiful beaches. When it came to diving, Moses and Alwin proved to be highly skilled and experienced guides. Every dive felt carefully planned to let us safely and joyfully discover the wonders of Komodo’s underwater world. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean. There was enough space for our luggage, the bed was cozy, and the crew tidied up the room every morning. The boat itself was also very comfortable, with plenty of shared spaces to relax during the day and a large dining table where we enjoyed all our meals together with the rest of the group. Last but not least, a special applause to the kitchen crew, who delighted us with delicious and tasteful meals throughout the entire journey.

We had the most unforgettable honeymoon on the Teman liveaboard. Moses was so knowledgeable the dive sites and picked the perfect dive times with the crowds and currents. We had snorkelers in our group and he was extremely accommodating of them at all locations. The food was delicious! The rooms are large and comfortable and the boat itself has many beautiful places to relax. 4D3N felt like a great pace to get around, plenty of things to do per day but never rushed. Thank you to Moses and the crew!

I had an amazing experience Teman Liveaboard! The service was outstanding, and the food was out of this world! The crew made the trip truly special. From the moment we boarded, they were welcoming and always ready to help with a smile. They took care of everything, including our luggage, and even assigned us a personal guide, making the journey effortless and personalized. The food was phenomenal—a perfect mix of local and international dishes, freshly prepared and super delicious. Every meal was a treat, catering to all tastes. The cabins were perfect—spotlessly clean, comfortable, and a great place to relax after a day of adventure. The snorkeling was beyond incredible! We swam with turtles, and were surrounded by colorful fish like parrotfish, angelfish, and schools of vibrant reef fish. The clear blue waters and stunning coral reefs made it feel like exploring a whole new world. It was definitely the highlight of the trip. Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure, and I can’t wait for my next trip with Teman!

My partner and I just wrapped up an incredible trip with Teman Liveaboard in Raja Ampat— and we had the best time! I love snorkeling, and he’s into diving, so this cruise was the perfect match for both of us. This was actually our second time cruising with Teman. The first was in Komodo, and now we’re back for more in Raja Ampat! The reefs were vibrant and full of life, and while I stuck to snorkeling, he said the diving spots were absolutely amazing. The crew made sure we both had a great time, whether we were in the water or out exploring. One of the highlights was the early morning trek to see the Birds of Paradise—and yes, we actually saw them! Such a magical moment! This trip was full of unforgettable encounters: We swam with so many sharks, I was so exciting and happy, don’t worry they are cute! And we were lucky enough to spot a pod of dolphins right near our dinghy in the sunset. We also snorkeled in the jellyfish lake, surrounded by thousands of jellyfish.. it was surreal! And as the cherry on top, we saw mantas and even spotted a rare Albino Oceanic Manta! I was screaming and had tears of happiness… it was definitely an unbelievable and unforgettable moment. I personally loved and truly enjoyed every part of the itinerary. Each stop was well thought out and beautifully paced, it gave us the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.. We made sure to bring our own gear, like our camera, drone, etc., to capture all the special moments. We came home with so many beautiful photos as great memories, that we’ll definitely look back on for years. Both Komodo and Raja Ampat are unbelievably beautiful. We really enjoyed the hikes, with panoramic views that took our breath away. The crew was warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from day one. Then, let’s talk about the food—every meal was a delight, something we genuinely looked forward to every day. They prepared so many homemade Indonesian food, classics and revisited Teman recipes. Western food was also on the menu to change flavors, but they really focused on quality asian food! One of our favorite memories was the karaoke and beach dance night. We all gathered under the stars, singing, dancing barefoot in the sand—it felt so relaxed, fun, and full of good vibes. That night truly made us feel like part of one big, happy family. Definitely a core memory. If you’re looking for a trip filled with epic snorkeling, one of the best diving places in the world, stunning nature, and warm, friendly people, then, Teman Liveaboard is the way to go.
