The trip didn’t have any downsides for me
Komodo Sea Dragon is a fantastic liveaboard. First of all with the amazing guides you will visit the best of the best dive sites in Komodo national park. And also enjoy hiking on the best islands/mountains the national park has to offer. Everyday you will also eat delicious meals and deserts. They even have a coffee machine on board. I stayed in the cheapest cabin yet the experience was amazing, it honestly looks better than the photos. Modern bathroom. The friendly crew will also make sure that you fully enjoy the trip.

Perfect Liveaboard
Best Liveaboard, period. The food was incredible with many options for fish, meats, vegetarian options, deserts, always delicious and available multiple times per day. The boat itself was great and the rooms are very spacious and cleaned daily. The DM's were great. Ray, Fandi and Jello always made sure we had detailed briefings before each dive and stayed close during changing and challenging currents. They were great at spotting very small, hard to find things (Pygmy Seahorse, Cuddlefish, Rhinopia, Nudibranch's, etc). With a 4 to 1 diver to DM ratio, the diving was very personalized. The diving was unbelievable and the sites were choosen perfectly based on time of day, tides, currents, etc. The donni boat (Putra) was great because we had plenty of space to gear up, unlike a small cramped dingi, and a full size sturdy ladder for easy exits. I'm telling you, the entire trip was flawless, great food, great staff (extremely attentive), great diving, great DM's, great rooms, cant imagine anything negative to say. Even the Nitrox tanks were perfect on every single dive with zero deviation on mixtures. If you're considering a Komodo Liveaboard, I would strongly encourage you to book with Komodo Sea Dragon. You will LOVE the entire experience, from beginning to end, perfect execution.

The best liveaboard I have ever been on!
The diving is was beautiful, the food was absolutely amazing. The crew were just the best. Real luxury! Always offered tea or coffee, even between dives. Someone always opening doors and helping you with whatever you needed. I will definitely book this boat again next time I come to Komodo. If you want a real luxury dive experience, look no where else. If Jello and his team are on board, you are going to have the best diving you can get in Indonesia.

The crew were just amazing. The dive guides were some of the most experienced I have ever met, with over 20 years experience between them (Jello, Engel and Arjun). The safety and the diving were top notch, before you realised you needed help, someone was there already sorting you out!

Amazing crew; you won't regret this liveaboard
Caveat: First liveaboard, no comparison points for this experience. Cruise director did an amazing job of ensuring we had the most optimized itinerary and the best chances to experience the most iconic dive sites at Komodo National Park. I appreciated that the crew is 100% Indonesian and everyone was extremely warm and welcoming. They often played live music for our benefit that I think was a very unique experience that made me feel like I was in an island paradise (which I was!) Food was good but a little bit repetitive -- understandable as we were on a liveaboard Cabins were brightly lit and of a good size. Some of the floors of the common areas became dirty / uncomfortable to walk barefoot on in the last couple of days of the trip, but overall the boat was clean and cozy. The size of the liveaboard (12 guests) was also a good size; great opportunity to get to know everyone. Lots of additional fees at the end of the trip, but I think that's more the fault of liveaboard . com than Komodo Sea Dragon. Highly recommend cruise director Jello and his crew!

Best Liveaboard I have ever been on.
We were lucky that during Christmas, boat was only 50% booked. Se I had a room to myself. Rooms are very large for a live aboard anyway, so this was super spacious. Food was great. Uncle Benny told us great bedtime stories at the end of each day. Even though it was rainy season at some areas had low visibility, we still found amazing places to dive and lots of Mantas!!! Boat is large and comfortable, not over crowded, the dive tender is big and spacious. I've done 5 liveaboards and this is the best by far.

An unforgettable experience on the Komodo Dragon!
I had a wonderful time on a dive safari aboard the beautiful, comfortable, and cozy Komodo Dragon. This was only my second liveaboard, and as a relatively inexperienced diver traveling with a group of female friends, I was naturally worried that our skills might not be enough for Komodo’s waters. However, the crew and dive guides went above and beyond to make us feel safe while ensuring we enjoyed the incredible marine life. Our guide, Fandi, was very attentive; he showed us so many interesting creatures and paid close attention to our gear. All our dives—even those with currents—were comfortable and smooth. We were lucky enough to see mantas at almost every site. The coral gardens are breathtaking; I’ve never seen such a variety of healthy, pristine corals, even in the Maldives or the Red Sea. The boat itself is spacious and clean. The cabins have everything you need and are cleaned daily—and I have to say, the shampoo and conditioner provided were the best I’ve ever used! The chefs also deserve a special mention. Every day we enjoyed a fresh, delicious à la carte menu; we definitely never went hungry! On our first day, Jello gave a very thorough briefing covering everything from boat layout and daily routines to emergency procedures and safety. It was the most detailed briefing I’ve ever heard. We were quite lucky to have only five people on board. Our boat was one of the first boats allowed out of port after a month-long break due to bad weather, so we had almost every dive site to ourselves—an incredible stroke of luck since famous spots are usually crowded. The weather was perfect for all five days: not a single cloud or drop of rain. A huge thank you to the team. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for great diving in a fun, safe, and pleasant atmosphere!

The sea dragon sets the bar by which all future live aboard will be judged. The cabins were great, as were the crew. The food was the best I have had on a live aboard. I don’t think that we saw anything exception diving from the crews perspective, but it is still the most beautiful coral I have seen with lots of big fish and of course mantas.

My first liveaboard. I came with 20 logged dives which was the bare minimum to join the trip. So I was concerned that I may cause inconvenience to any other guests on the boat. Jello, the dive master who was leading the group that I am, did a wonderful job making sure that I am safe and enjoying the life under water on every single dive. (Thank you so much, Jello) Besides the dives, the whole crew were more than what I could hope for - Caring, kind, lively. Always welcoming you when you return from divings. My room was always kept clean, the food was really nice ( I have dietary restrictions and I still felt really accommodated.) Each moment on Komodo Sea Dragon was beautiful and unforgettable.

Fabulous experience - Highlight of our trip
The discover dive that my daughters were able to do was a huge highlight. First time underwater and in a place with so much colourful coral and variety of fish and sea life. Seeing the Komodo dragons was incredible and swimming with manta rays is something I’ll never forget. The staff on the boat is amazing and I will forever be grateful for their kindness - they made this an experience of a lifetime. My girls can’t wait to get their dive tickets after this trip.

Wonderful experience with excellent crew
It was a wonderful trip, the ship is very spacious with nice and comfy ambience, the crew were wonderful and took great care of us. The food offered a nice variety of local and international dishes. Diving took place from the seperate dive boat which makes it extremely convenient just keeping all gear available there. The dive guide and crew had outstanding experience, knew what to do and we always felt comfortable. Detailled dive briefings were held so we were aware of what to expect, especially for more challenging sites. Changing wheather was considered and plans adapted always with focus on ensuring a great experience for the passengers. Overall diving was outstanding with our guide pointing out plenty of things to see, no matter if tiny critter of the manta right behind you :) Also the excursions to the islands to see the Komodo Dragons and enjoy the views were great! The overall experience was superb and we will definitely come back for more!

Awesome for snorkelers and divers both
The entire trip was absolutely superb. My wife loved the diving and i loved the snorkeling. We both saw some amazing sights, 4 baby sharks resting/hiding in a small cave soon to grow up and take their place as apex reef predators, turtles which lingered and were not afraid of snorkelers, and the highlight for both of us being the manta rays. Seeing a huge adult manta ray glide past on my right not 10 metres away at snorkeling height was a Moment of Awe. The crew on the boat were all superb, addressing queries quickly as well as anticipating our needs. And safety always first.

Phenomenal liveaboard experience
Incredible all around experience. The setup is a luxurious, recently renovated traditional vessel with a separate dive boat plus a dingy. This was very nice when preparing for and returning from dives, and snorkelers could take the dingy to good spots without compromising dive site selection; the con was that currents in the south prevented us from going to pink beach and southern dive sites because the separate dive boat couldn’t handle it. The crew service was incredible and the food was very good. We were all too tired to drink much but the wine on the final night was pretty good. Dive experience was great, including site selection, rentals and briefings; however, I am pretty risk averse but I felt our dive guide was excessively conservative, as my team ended most dives with 70+ bar each and we never hit 1 hour, and it was difficult due to language barrier to understand why we were cutting dives short. There were a few other communication issues as well that were each too minor to elaborate here. Overall would definitely recommend. For context if you are debating price vs value and comfort vs diving tradeoffs, this is AOW only and we all felt appropriately challenged and all the passengers were working professionals in their 30s and up.

Perfect combination of diving, land excursions and heartwarming hospitality
Did the 7N/8D around Komodo, and had the best time ever. Good communication and helpful tips before, the most heartwarming welcome on the boat, spacious rooms with comfortable beds, and a crew that never stopped helping any way they could. The food was amazing, and there was lots of it. The days were spent diving in underwater paradise, encountering mantas, sharks, turtles, fish in every colour, and even a dugong. The detailed briefings before every dive always made me feel safe and well prepared. The rented equipment was excellent, and made diving hassle-free. I also appreciated the land excursions to see the dragons, Pink Beach and some sunset hikes. My divemaster Ray was excellent at spotting everything from mantas to tiny shrimps - he was clear on instructions and made sure we all had safe and fun dives! And then the cruise director - Jello. The trip definitely would not have been the same without him! Again, safety always being the main focus - but also the one singing us songs, making us laugh, telling stories, and just being the heart and soul of Komodo Sea Dragon. Loved every minute of this trip!
