Roli Malingkas

About

A trusted local guide behind Raja Ampat Adventures

Roli Malingkas is the tour leader who spends most of his time on the water with guests. While Deni built and steers Raja Ampat Adventures from Sorong, Roli is the brother who often operates the boat day to day — morning briefings, snorkel site choices, trek pacing, and the small details that make a simple liveaboard feel looked-after.

Travelers frequently mention Roli by name in reviews: clear briefings, a warm crew atmosphere, and a knack for finding the right reef or lagoon for the day’s conditions. He is also known among guests as a keen underwater photographer — documenting reefs and sharing the joy of first manta or first Wayag viewpoint moments.

Whether the itinerary runs north to Wayag or south to Misool, Roli’s job is the same: keep everyone safe in the tenders, smiling on deck, and present for the best light on the karsts. If you have sailed with “Roli and the crew,” you already know why so many guests come back.
