Highlights
Barefoot luxury is the theme behind Mikumba Dua (of lost paradise charters) liveaboard Indonesia, having undergone an extensive renovation giving a contemporary twist to this traditional wooden boutique style phinisi. Mikumba Dua boasts the largest outdoor space found on any vessel in her class, spanning over 4 decks, allowing guests to indulge in alfresco dining under the stars while sipping away at their favorite drink or perhaps getting involved in some sunrise/sunset yoga or just lounging around on beanbags with a book. The main hub of the boat is the beautiful indoor salon, which also offers dining, a cinema room, a library, board games, or simply space for relaxation. There are 2 Master cabins on the upper deck, both en-suite and with their own private balcony, with a further 3 double/twin cabins on the lower deck sharing 2 bathrooms. All cabins are spacious and individually designed, embracing traditional local materials and fabrics.
Dining generally takes place on the top deck while taking in incredible vistas; our legendary local chef will provide a selection of authentic dishes prepared daily using the freshest locally sourced ingredients and cooked with dedication and love. The Ethos onboard Mikumba Dua is to seek adventure while getting you away from the crowds and giving you world-class diving and snorkeling. Visit secret beaches and lagoons and encounter breathtaking views from jungle-covered hilltops, all of which make for a truly magical experience, “the stuff of dreams.”
The enchanting and magnificent Raja Ampat, one of the last frontiers on Earth, is the ultimate tropical paradise. Commonly regarded as the most biodiverse marine ecosystem on our planet and ultimately some of the greatest diving and snorkeling in the world, as beautiful above the surface as below, it is “truly Heaven on Earth.”
The ambiance aboard Mikumba Dua reflects the feeling that guests are extended family and perfectly combines the balance of adventure and the feeling of home. Mikumba Dua is also available for private hire; the date of the charter, length of trip, locations, and activities can all be tailored to your needs.

Excellent Liveaboard Experience
Saldy’s leadership shined through from day 1! Even though the crew does this every week, their enthusiasm made it feel like we were special, bravo. From our boat driver Heru who always had a smile on his face and helped me in and out of the water to the chef and his crew serving the food with precision, timing and great flavors. Our master cabin was very comfortable and the overall experience top-notch. Would highly recommend Makumba Dua.

Will be very very hard to forget such an awesome experience
Our trip aboard the Mikumba Dua was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The dive sites were simply astonishing—some of the most beautiful and memorable diving I've ever experienced. Every dive offered something special, and the underwater scenery exceeded all expectations. The staff were outstanding: highly professional, knowledgeable, and always focused on safety, while also being great fun to be around. Their enthusiasm and passion for diving made the whole experience even more enjoyable. One of the unexpected highlights was the fantastic group of guests on board. What started as great company quickly turned into new friendships, making the trip even more special. The food was also excellent throughout the journey, with plenty of variety and consistently delicious meals that kept us well-fuelled between dives. I would recommend the Mikumba Dua in a heartbeat to anyone looking for an exceptional liveaboard adventure. Amazing diving, wonderful crew, great food, and lifelong memories—what more could you ask for?

Fantastic liveaboard experience. The food was delicious with generous portions, and the lounge areas were very spacious with plenty of room to relax without feeling crowded. The crew and dive guides were also super attentive and helpful. Can’t recommend it enough!

Exceptional five days in Komodo with Mikumba Dua
The diving was outstanding. Batu Bolong's wall of fish, the current swept adrenaline of Castle Rock and Shotgun, and then Manta Point, which was everything I hoped for and more. Mantas circling the cleaning station, close enough that I lost track of time. The currents in Komodo are serious and they make the diving what it is. Add the Komodo dragons on land and the Padar viewpoint, and it is hard to think of a richer five days. What made the trip, though, was the people. Gun, our dive master, is genuinely professional and deeply knowledgeable. His briefings were excellent, he read the currents beautifully, and he found things I would have swum straight past. The whole crew was warm and welcoming from the moment I stepped aboard. And Jeremy, the owner, is an outstanding and caring host, attentive without ever hovering, and he made sure everyone on board was properly looked after. I eat gluten free and have a few other dietary restrictions that can be difficult to manage on a boat. Mikumba handled it perfectly, without any fuss, for five days straight. That level of care tells you a lot about an operation. I arrived as a solo diver and left with a group of people I will stay in touch with. If you are considering Komodo, book it.

Best first liveaboard experience!
I couldn’t have imagined a better first liveaboard experience. The boat was very comfortable and the details are well thought through. The crew are really warm and friendly, the itinerary is well made and the communication and briefing for our days was great. I shared a below deck cabin which was comfortable and clean.

Absolutely Fabulous
Mikumba Dua was one of the best liveaboards I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The entire crew was absolutely fantastic and made me feel welcome and safe. They always seemed ready to laugh and smile and made the trip really fun, from meals to karaoke to tubing behind the dingy. The dive masters were extremely professional and made each dive fun and safe despite some gnarly currents - they were excellent at spotting wildlife both big and small. The food was absolutely top notch and I also enjoyed all of the land excursions in between dives to explore the islands. 10/10 would recommend!

First Class Diving Experience
The trip with the fabulous Mikumba II (www.mikumbadua.com) was absolutely great in every detail and we enjoyed it to the fullest. Everything on this lovely wooden Phinisi boat is absolutely perfect: Starting from the warm welcome of the whole crew, the clean and tidy bedrooms on a high standard, the wonderful and practical deck with bean bags to hang around, the big dining table under the shadow on the top deck, the neatly organized dive station with modern and perfectly maintained dive equipment, and the caring and always helping crew working all around the clock to make the sojourn of its guests as memorable as possible. Our dive guides, Fadly and Willy, belong to the absolute elite of dive masters in the Komodo region. It was a big honor and privilege to dive with and learn from them. Further, one of the British owners, Jem, was with us during the whole turn and, being a dive master himself, supported the team on deck and took care of the guest relations in an adorable way. The lovely and always smiling crew of 12 people looks after the 10 guests like they belong to their own family. Two tender boats bring the two dive groups to the different dive sites in parallel, which all belong the most prestigious and well-known worldwide. The nature above and under water around the Komodo National Park is simply breathtaking and thrilling at the same time. The broad variety of thousands of fish and the vibrant colors of the coral reefs are outstanding! Apart from diving, the trip includes fabulous visits on beautiful islands, hikes on scenic hills, the watching of Komodo dragons and much more. Furthermore, the food of the kitchen is absolutely excellent and plenty of cooled soft drinks as well as water/tea/coffee is permanently available. All in all, our time on the Mikumba II was the alone standing highlight of our vacation in Indonesia. We would always love to come back and will recommend it to all of our family and friends! The smiles and the joy of each and everyone on this boat is simply what makes this journey the most adorable of our diving memories so far.
