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.

Incredible Crew, Amazing Diving, and Unforgettable Memories
It almost feels unfair to highlight anyone because the entire team was wonderful, but I do want to mention a few: Willy, who kept us laughing all the time, “Bruce Lee”, for his warmth and attention, and especially Saldy, our dive master. He was extremely generous with his knowledge and showed us so much incredible macro life that I would have never spotted on my own. We stayed in the master cabin, which was very comfortable, the food was excellent throughout the trip, and overall it was simply a 10/10 experience.

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!

The best liveaboard ever
Such an incredible week! We had the best time and everything was very well planned from start to finish. The meals were great, there was very enjoyable variety in the dives, and the land activities were a great way to keep each day new. We felt very safe the entire time in the currents because of how experienced and knowledgeable our dive masters were. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Best value for the pennies you’ve saved
We had a great week with amazing diving, some beach trips, paddleboarding and unforgettable sunset cruises! Food was the best I’ve eaten in Indonesia so far. Boat crew is friendly and making their best to make you feel like home. Hugo and Damian were also doing everything they could (and a bit more) to make you enjoy your stay. Boat itself is in top shape and you can find all the facilities you need. This trip was really worth every penny and even more, I’m definitely gonna return :)

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.

Excellent trip, highly recommended.
Overall, we had a great experience with Mikumba Dua. We would be happy to return and do another trip with them. We stayed in one of the master bedrooms. The dive masters were excellent. They were helpful when half the divers started having ear problems from back to back diving, diligent with respect to safety procedures, incredible in their ability to spot macros. In general, it was a pleasure exchanging and learning from them. The food exceeded our expectations! The occasional snack after the last dive of the day was such a treat! The planning was really well done and we managed to do everything in a timely fashion without any rushing. Staying at the master bedroom was very nice. The interior is beautiful and the bed comfortable.
