Incredible Trip in Komodo
An unforgettable Komodo experience from start to finish. The diving is without question among the best in the world, with extraordinary marine life and breathtaking reefs at every site. Special thanks to Eric and Camille, the outstanding cruise directors, whose expertise and warmth set the tone for the entire journey. Equal appreciation goes to the crew, whose skill, attentiveness, and constant good spirits ensured that every detail was flawless. A truly world-class operation.

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 Liveaboard with outstanding staff
Incredible coral and sea life, dives were not only beautiful but diverse with a night dive and some exciting current dives. We dove with our children for the first time and the lead dive guide was able to make us all comfortable and safe. The food was very good and plentiful, and the views from our on board room were unforgettable.

Best, liveaboard experience ever
Everything about this trip was fantastic. The crew really made it special with everything from amazing service and taking care of us to the absolutely phenomenal food and being able to spend some moments with the crew and the captain playing the guitar and them singing our excursions and the barbecue They set up for us on the beach was breathtaking. We got rained on but it was still amazing... A truly spectacular trip

Had a great time, EPIC x 3 on the scale of EPIC.
It starts out like checking into a 5 star hotel. The transports are timely, cruise directors are at the meeting site to greet everyone. Boarding the ship was very welcoming, every crew member introduced themselves. The diving was EPIC. Jelajahi Laut is a class act.

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.
