The adventure starts on Padar Island, for diving and snorkeling around the beautiful reefs. From there, the boat will move on to South Komodo, where guests will explore more of the amazing underwater world. The last stop on the itinerary is Komodo Island, home to the famous Komodo dragons.

Cozy Marine Adventure!
It was my first liveaboard and I don't regret choosing Komdo Sea Dragon at all. Every crews and dive masters were super kind and every meals were well prepared. I could recover on the cozy sun-deck after diving and take a rest at the tidy room. We had 21 dives and I met awesome marine animals such as Manta Ray, Eagle Ray, Marbled Ray, Shark and Turtles. Fortunately, every guest was on time and very nice. If you are looking for a cozy marine adventure, I highly recommend this liveaboard.

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.

Comfortable way to explore Komodo National Park
The Komodo Sea Dragon provided a super comfortable experience and great platform for exploring the Komodo National park . The cabin was cleaned few times a day . The beds were large and comfortable . The food was truly excellent , catering also for veggies . Not all dive sites delivered against expectations ( only 1 manta spotted ), but that’s nature - not boat’s issue . It was ok to bring own beverages / cold drinks on board . The main boat was for living / eating and it also had a side boat which had all the diving equipment and travelled to the sites . Both boats are in safe condition . Overall a great experience.

Wonderful adventure
The team of the komodo sea dragon was super nice, fun and very concerned about the guests and their safety. The nature and diving sites are just incredible. While diving in komodo is not easy all the time, the crew did their best so everybody was safe at all times. I would love to do that trip again.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful experience!!
An incredibly beautiful trip, which was made even more special by the crew of the boat. Unforgettable dives with beautiful corals and manta rays. The service on the boat was top notch - especially Alan and Bonne were very attentive. Jello - the Cruise Director - was always out to give us the best dives, but always paid attention to the safety of all divers and did not take any risks. The dive guides were also incredibly friendly and attentive - Christo has grown very close to my heart. All in all a wonderful trip and highly recommended!!

Just a fantastic trip. The location is amazing. The sea life and macro is stunning. The Komodo dragons and shore trips were wonderful. The knowledge and experience of the dive guides was impressive. Our guide Benny was so patient and could find the coolest macro life. Other groups had the same experience with Jello and Elfin. But what stands out the most is the warmth, kindness and joy in the crew. From the galley staff to the boat crew to the dive staff - they made the experience special. A heartfelt thank you to Jello, Benny, Allan, Bonny, the chef, Captain Aziz and the entire crew.

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!

Changing Current
Overall, very good liveaboard experience - we are lucky to make some wonderful people new acquaintances. Crew were fantastic, chief DM is very entertaining and kept emphasize the importance of safety so although we were challenged with changing currents at certain sites, we knew we were in good hands and boats are nearby. I would not benchmark my scale of 1-10 current with the DM - different metric! Lol.
