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.

Super cool experience on our 1st live-aboard. Everything was allowed, nothing was mandatory. Beautiful dive sites, beautiful things seen. Beautiful hikes. Very good planning so that it was optimal for us. Willy is fantastic and gives you confidence during the difficult dives.

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!

Indescribable moments
The service was absolutely top notch and the crew incredibly familiar – you immediately feel welcome. The dive sites were fantastic, and the experienced dive masters knew exactly where to find which animals. I was able to gain a lot of experience for my own diving skills and received valuable tips from the dive masters. The food on board was also delicious and rounded off the experience perfectly. Despite two rainy days, the tour was flexibly adapted and the best of it was made. The highlight for me was the dive at Manta Point – meeting the majestic giant manta rays so close was an unforgettable experience.

Amazing Liveaboard experience
I recently joined the Mikumba Dua 2 for my very first liveaboard, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. The itinerary was well thought out, offering a great mix of dive sites as well some activities on land (sunset, komodo dragon visit) The boat itself was in excellent condition—spacious, clean, and very comfortable, which made the entire journey so enjoyable. The food on board was also consistently good, with plenty of variety to keep everyone happy. What really stood out, though, was the crew. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make the trip special. Their professionalism, friendliness, and genuine care created such a welcoming atmosphere, and it made the whole experience feel personal and memorable. All in all, the Mikumba Dua 2 delivered everything I could have hoped for on my first liveaboard and more. I’d highly recommend it to anyone considering a liveaboard adventure, and I’m already looking forward to my next one.

Amazing experience. Thank you Mikumba dua!!
Our experience at Mikumba was superb. The staff it’s super friendly and the dive masters are very skilled. The itinerary was perfect and the diving gear was in great condition. The boat it’s amazing and cozy, with a lot of outdoor space, ideal for our morning yoga routine. The food was delicious and we always had plenty of options to choose. We also enjoyed a lot the complementary activities like kayaking, paddle board, excursions, etc. were. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience
Loved our time on Mikumba Dua. Very comfortable boat with lots of places to lounge about in-between dives. Good itinerary mix of diving and non-diving activities, and crew were very happy to accommodate non-divers with snorkelling, paddle board or kayak options. Diving was well-organized and felt safe. Food was brilliant, lots of fresh fruit, salads and vegetables at every meal and vegetarians were well-catered for, with alternate and varied protein options at each meal. Crew were super friendly and really looked after you. My only suggestion would to add some coke zero's to the soft drink fridge.
