Built in Sulawesi, which is considered the “boatyard” of Indonesia, Jelajahi Laut is a beautiful phinisi boat constructed in 2021 with local teak wood and ironwood, ready to take you to the hottest dive spots in Indonesia. Jelajahi Laut means “Explore the Sea,” which is exactly what she delivers with expeditions to Komodo, Raja Ampat, Banda Islands, Alor, and Ambon, just to name a few. This traditional phinisi was designed by divers, optimizing the comforts for diver guests with a spacious equipment area and camera station, where you can gear up and prepare for your underwater adventure.
With 6 comfortable cabins onboard, Jelajahi Laut offers an intimate dive cruise for up to 16 guests with a sense of adventure, who appreciate exploring not just the popular dive sites but also some of the remote islands, local villages, and new dive sites. With a small, local team of dedicated boat crew and dive guides, the staff onboard Jelajahi Laut will invite you as part of their family, introducing you to their home in the Indonesian archipelago. Whether the pelagics in Raja Ampat or the smallest critters in Ambon, the local guides of Jelajahi Laut know just where to go to fulfil your wish list while avoiding the crowds.

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.

A brilliant, full on two weeks, gaining so much experience diving pushing me on to the next level.
Diving with Manta Rays on one dive, and discovering so much Macro species generally, many of which I'd never seen before.

Mixed bag, great diving but leaking bottom cabins and varying standards of dive guides
3rd time back to RJ since 2007 but still good! Unexpected visit by a oceanic manta on a random dive site, (generally) great dive sites and a good land excursion. Local crew was great. Other 'highlight' to me was the increase in harbour fees / marine park fees / other fees etc in 2022 to 3.5million IDR (all-in fee charged by boat regardless whether the local authorities collect it from them or not) from 350,000 IDR back in 2007. Boat was newish but suffered from leaking bottom cabins and compressor break down so I think it's better to stick with a more established but slightly older boat.

New boat with amazing boat crew
7/8nights Raja Ampat Central/North. The boat is relatively new with an amazing boat crew (very courteous, also up for a chat, playing cards or chess). The common areas are very functional and fit perfectly for resting, dive briefings and eating. The dive deck has a spacious setup. Diving dinghies are in good shape. Dive guides come from Sulawesi and have very good eyes to spot critters. This was my second trip to Raja and I was surprised to see stunning muck sites (which this boat/crew probably tend to cater more than others, out of 23 dives, 5 were night/muck) and lots of special critters (e.g. wonderpus, flamboyant cuttlefish, blue ringed octopus).

Amazing time exploring beautiful Raja Ampat below and above water, with fun, friendly and informative crew!
Incredible dives with a huge diversity of marine life. Cruise Director J does an awesome job of organising and entertaining everybody and is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about marine life, providing an added dimension to each of the dives. All the guides are very experienced and adapted dives to each group, ensuring everyone was happy.
