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.

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.

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.

An amazing trip all round, dive sites were well chosen with so much to see. Staff were very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects f the trip. Safety was a priority with the crew showing a great safety first culture and making sure dives were safe and enjoyable. All in all a great experience and I defiantly recommend the Komodo Sea Dragon and Jello to all my friends.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Stable boat, comfortable and clean!
This is my second liveaboard, condition of the boat was excellent. This boat was very stable, honestly didn't feel it rock that much even tho the waves and currents were insane in komodo. didn't have sea legs after getting of the boat at all! Rooms were pretty, clean and spacious. There's house keeping everyday and a balcony to hang your wet clothes in the room. Toilets work well, shower has intermittent water supply, but not too bad, essentially if you waited 5mins after the first person showers, there's a good flow. Food was good, crew was friendly and helpful at all times, even when some guests were annoying to them haha. loadsa singing and dancing. Activities were packed, you'll never be bored!

The staff were all very friendly and extremely on top of taking care of things. The entire boat was extraordinarily clean and accommodating to use. The diving, as expected, was spectacular.

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!

Top-notch comfort with world class dives
One thing that stood out is how the Komodo ship has an adjacent dive boat to better access remote dive sites as well as having an overall luxurious experience. The staff are friendly, extremely experienced, and know how to maximize the dive experience for the passengers on board. I highly recommend this for any diver, new or highly experienced, looking to see healthy reefs, rich biodiversity, and scenic island stops.

Just Book, FANTASTIC boat and crew
What a fantastic experience. First off, I was hesitant to book due to the lack of reviews and so many options, boy was I surprised. Just a great week all around but what really stood out was the boat. Absolutely stunning. CLEAN rooms, comfortable beds, the double rooms have a balcony, large windows in the shower and the room so you always have a gorgeous ocean view. Spacious and comfortable inside and outside area. I woke up at 05:30 every morning and had coffee outside on the upper deck. There is a separate dive boat that travels with the liveaboard, it just makes it that much more comfortable. The crew was amazing, really went out of their way to make everything comfortable. Dive guides very knowledgeable, always felt safe. Great diving!! Impressive reefs, loved the mantas. No complaints at all but it would be nice to have nitrox as an option. Also instead of a night dive every night, maybe some days a second afternoon dive instead. These are not complaints though. Will be back someday. Thanks to the crew of Komodo Sea Dragon!!! Lacy USA
