🌊 Unforgettable 5-day trip with Jelajahi Laut – Komodo at its best! 🐉🌅
We were very lucky to travel together with the Jelajahi Laut for five days through the breathtaking island world of Komodo – and it was simply magical. From the first moment we felt like we were in a dream of turquoise blue water, spectacular landscapes and a crew that is passionate about what it does.Diving: The dives were absolutely spectacular – vibrant coral reefs and an underwater world that takes your breath away. Manta rays, turtles, reef sharks – it's all there! The guides were professional, attentive and made every dive a safe and fascinating experience.Komodo Dragons: A real highlight was the visit to the legendary Komodo dragons. Seeing these primeval creatures up close was impressive and a bit surreal. The organization was perfect and we felt well accompanied at all times.Padar Island: The sunset on Padar was simply epic. The ascent is worth a hundred times over - at the top you can expect a panorama that you will never forget. The colors, the calm, the view... pure magic.Food & crew: And then the food – fresh, varied and incredibly delicious every day. Whether Indonesian or international, it was a culinary feast. The crew was the heart of the trip: warm, helpful, humorous and always with a smile. We would like to give special mention to Eric and Cami, our Cruise Directors – they made this trip very special with their energy, organization and warmth. You can feel that they love what they do – and that is contagious.Conclusion: If you're looking for an adventure that will leave you amazed with your eyes open, then Jelajahi Laut is the perfect choice. Five days full of natural wonders, encounters and moments that last. Anytime again :-)

Wonderful 6 day trip to Komodo
Mikumba was my first liveaboard diving experience, and I could not have asked for anything more on the 6-day trip in Komodo. Every single one of the crew did a fantastic job with a smile. The boat was new and a good size, I booked the standard cabin which was basic but clean, the food was varied and delicious, the group of divers were great, the dive guides were attentive, helpful, and friendly, and cruise directors Eric and Cami worked non-stop both behind the scenes and centre stage to deliver a smooth and fun experience on the boat, in the water, and on the land-based outings. One memorable experience was to witness the presentation of Pocari Sweat on Komodo's "Pride Rock" equivalent to the Circle Of Life. The diving itself was brilliant. It had been a while since my last dive, so the team offered a refresher during the first dive. The crew were always on hand to help with the gear. And under water, the amount of marine life was wonderful, and the encounters ranged from manta rays, turtles and sharks, to a myriad of micro stuff. I wholeheartedly recommend Mikumba. Thank you for a fantastic liveaboard experience!

Great organization, Excellent diving, Comfortable and Enjoyable
I did a ten day trip on the J. L. And very much enjoyed it! The crew was always enthusiastic and on point. The trip was organized so we were able to dive all of the top sites in Komodo, but done in a way where we almost completely avoided crowds- something I didn’t think would be possible! They created a clear, consistent itinerary/daily schedule, and communication between crew and guests was excellent. The J. L is a comfy, homey boat where you can relax and just enjoy your time. Chef did great preparing a combination of Indonesian and western food. Meals are a combination of plated/buffet. While I wouldn’t call the boat ‘luxury’ the crew works hard to meet all of your needs and create a memorable experience. I’d recommend this boat/company time and time again.

Fantastic
My husband and I just finished a 10 day/9 night diving trip aboard the Jelajahi Laut with Mikumba Diving. It was our first big liveaboard trip and the experience was superb. Staff was fantastic. Everyone is so friendly and good humored and they worked incredibly hard to make sure we had a blast while keeping safety as their highest priority. The boat is beautiful and spacious, dive deck is dialed, bed was comfortable, and food is good. The Sea View cabin is glorious and absolutely worth the upgrade with its panoramic views and private balcony. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this operator again on a return trip.
