Set sail on an Indonesian adventure aboard the Akomo Isseki liveaboard. A traditional hand-crafted wooden phinisi, she is crewed by the Bugis sailors of South Sulawesi and offers fantastic dive itineraries in Raja Ampat and Komodo National Park. Four naturally ventilated cabins with twin beds accommodate 8 guests on board. Shared bathrooms feature modern facilities and traditional handicrafts.
Social areas include the communal dining area and a large, partially covered sun deck. Enjoy a selection of freshly cooked Indonesian and Western meals, beach BBQs, freshly baked bread, treats, and hot coffee. Days can be spent lounging on the sun deck in between dives, kayaking, snorkeling, and island visits, and unwinding at the end of the day, enjoying an incredible sunset, the sea breeze, and a cold beer with your fellow dive buddies.
The Akomo Isseki phinisi visits dive destinations, including Raja Ampat, Komodo National Park, and the Banda-Ambon crossing. In Komodo, dive at Karang Makassar and get up close with schools of Manta Rays, enjoy a dusk dive at Palau Siaba to watch the beautiful Mandarin fish perform their mating dance ritual, and walk with Dragons on Komodo Island. Raja Ampat itineraries are offered from November to April and are a divers' paradise. Home to some of the most biodiverse diving in the world, marine life encounters can include wobbegong sharks, pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs galore, dugongs, manta rays, and humpback whales. For the more adventurous, the Spice Island Trail from Ambon to Waisai (or reverse) is not to be missed. This is the chance to dive off the beaten track and explore untouched beauty, with the chance to dive with schooling hammerheads.
Whichever itinerary you choose, the passionate dive guides and attentive boat crew will surely deliver an exceptional trip to remember. Book online today.

Perfect 11 days on the Akomo Isseki!
Perfect 11 days on the Akomo Isseki. The food was really good. We were also really lucky with the weather despite the rainy season, so that you could relax in the sandbags every day on deck under the awning. The dives were also mega, especially our guide who always spread a good mood. A highlight was also the whole crew, who were always in a good mood and often sang songs with guitar in the evenings. Only in the cabins it was very warm in the evening in the hot weather, there was a small fan for each bed, but it was quite loud. So either take earplugs with you or sleep in the sandbags like I did on deck. Overall, however, the highlight of my Indonesia trip!

Already planning a return trip!
The experience was great in all possible ways. The crew was incredibly attentive and kind, the dive guides very knowledgeable (and hilarious) and the cook made some incredible meals (personal highlights were some of the tempeh dishes). Everyone made me feel safe and supported. The quality of the liveaboard is only confirmed by the fantastic people that joined the trip.

Unforgettable
It was the second time we embarked with Liquid Adventures, after a first experience last year in Komodo on the Kira Kira and the Akomo Isseki. This year, we found the Akomo Isseki in Raja Ampat, and once again, we were absolutely not disappointed. The experience was simply exceptional.We particularly appreciate the deliberately limited capacity of the boat, which allows you to fully enjoy the trip and the dives in small groups, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The crew is remarkable: always smiling, extremely jovial, in a communicative good mood in all circumstances, and never the last to party and dance. An amazing atmosphere from start to finish.The food was excellent, varied and very filling. The comfort of the cabins is certainly simple, but more than sufficient, and more than compensated by the quality of the overall experience on board and underwater.We had the pleasure of meeting Alex, our dive guide already met the previous year, always so eccentric and full of energy. We also met Sardin, who is extremely kind. Both are very professional, attentive and attentive. I never felt unsafe underwater, despite the sometimes demanding diving conditions.We are already looking forward to a similar experience again and, without hesitation, we will choose Liquid Adventures again for our next dive cruise in Indonesia.

Great diving experience and exceptional quality of service
Terrific diving in Komodo! The guides know the sites inside out and the dives are planned according to the currents and changing conditions. The overall atmosphere on the boat is very relaxed while being very professional. The crew of the boat is super friendly and everything is done so that we make the most of our dives!! I had an amazing week!
