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.

I have been very fortunate to travel and dive in many parts of the world, but this trip will be hard to duplicate.
I can't tell you how much we enjoyed the experience of the Dikumba Dua and it's crew. They went out of their way to insure that our late guest made it to the boat and felt welcome aboard. Their attention to safety, diving, and the overall guest experience was exceptional. I would recommend any diver to enjoy the Dikumba Dua experience. Well worth the money and time it takes to enjoy the Komodo Islands.

A fantastic boat, amazing crew and incredible dive sites. I can't fault it!
Myself and my boyfriend had a fantastic trip onboard Mikumba Dua in December around Komodo National Park. The itinery was perfect, with a wide range of dive sites, and the added bonus of the trips onto the islands to see the dragons was brilliant. We loved that we also had the opportunity to snorkel, paddle board and kayak during breaks between diving. The boat itself was very well maintained, clean and a good layout. We had one of the double cabins which was really lovely. The food was great and there was a wide range available for all tastes and diets. Dive guides were brilliant fun and very professional and great at pointing things out to us. Couldn't fault it!

Best Trip Ever!
This was the best liveaboard experience I’ve ever had. It was also the first liveaboard trip for some of my companions, and they came away with wonderful memories from their very first experience.

- The crew were incredibly warm and welcoming, and made me feel completely at home.. The underwater scenery and marine life were amazing.. The number of divers was just right, so it never felt crowded. The DM assignments were also very well balanced and comfortable..

Great trip with many highlights
Very nice diving trip with many highlights, but only suitable for experienced divers with good physical condition, as there are very strong and unpredictable currents.Great landscapes and a very good and healthy meal thanks to mom on board, many thanks also to the experienced guides and the great group. Gene again....

Mikumba Dua - a wonderful trip in every way!
Mikumba Dua far exceeded our expectations in every way - so much so that my son and I are already talking about joining them again next year. The diving was wonderful - healthy soft and hard coral and abundant marine life. My son is a certified dive instructor and found the diving fantastic, but intense. The currents in Indonesia were much greater than he experienced instructing in the Carribbean, but it led to such wonderful, healthy underwater conditions. The Mikumba Dua is a comfortable boat. We had two rooms, a master cabin for me and a standard cabin for my son. We slept well and felt we had all the comforts of home - on the boat. The chef was equally wonderful. Full, hearty, tasty, balanced meals that included just enough local flavors. As I said, I gained 5 pounds in 5 days, despite 14 dives. That speaks to the delicious food. The public spaces were perfect. An indoor salon for when it was too windy; otherwise everything was served on the outdoor, covered top deck. One could comfortably lounge on the covered deck or the open/sun deck - or in the salon. Our mix of guests worked wonderfully for our trip. Two couples from France (Paris and Strasbourg), 1 from Milan and my son and I from the USA. Plus, the 'permanent guest' owner Jeremy from the UK. Everyone mixed well, had space to themselves when needed, with lots of time underwater! I couldn't be more pleased with our decision to go with the Mikumba Dua. We look forward to doing it a second time with them next year. 100% endorsement!

- Great diving and dive masters. Wonderful food; every meal, every time (I gained 5 pounds, even after 14 dives). Great crew who went out of their way to make sure every need was met. And on kareoke night, they enthusiastically joined in and made the night better. The captain is a wild and crazy guy!!.

First but not last liveaboard
The Mikumba Dua is run by an extremely friendly guy who always has time for your questions and always helps with your requests. Jem leads a crew that reflects these traits and consistently helped us eat, learn and escorted us through our dives while having a lot of fun. The Mikumba Dua has a maximum capacity of 10 so you will really feel the hospitality and get to know everyone with ease. I dont know what's stopping you but if the dates are right then you should really book this boat, we'll never forget our 1st liveaboard thanks to Jem and his team.

Couldn't have imagined a better experience
What an exceptional week - Highly recommend it! Welcoming, warmly and friendly crew that became an extended family for all the guests. The dives and itinerary were well-planned and communicated and the operators open for our inputs and to adapt it according to our wishes. The boat and cabins were charming, clean and with loads of place to hang out (in the sun or shade). Even though we were on full capacity, we had plenty of space to have some privacy and recover from the beautiful dives. The food was delicious and very diversified!
