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.

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!!.

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.

Fabulous diving and more on Lost Paradise Charters Mikumba 2
We just completed a 6 night liveaboard dive trip in the Rajah Ampat region with Lost Paradise Charters on Mikumba 2. Damien and Jeremy, two 40++++ (just kidding) Englishmen, with social media wizz Hugo, and all their lovely Indonesian staff, provide a very personal small boat diving+ experience. Damien is the snorkeler and social activities co-coordinator, and offers beach visits, paddleboarding, and kayaking, as well as capturing spectacular sunsets in a little slice of paradise. If you enjoy winding down after a mind blowing day of diving, by watching the setting sun on a secluded beach with white sand, beer, and vodka, then this is the dive boat for you! Sounds tempting, doesn't it? The diving will draw you to the area, but if you want a little more than just a diving experience, on a very comfortable, small dive boat (10 pax), where rooms have AC, and where you'll experience excellent freshly prepared meals, cooked with love, by the hard working chef in very hot conditions, then Mikumba 2 will provide that and more. Truly spectacular diving and wonderful memories ... JUST DO IT!

Komodo diving at its best
Mikumba made diving Komodo a highlight of our Indonesian trip! Starting with the diving, Komodo offers world class dive sites without having to travel hours by boat. It was amazing. Mikumba has an exceptional boat. It offers comfortable living quarters, space to hang out outside and a roomy dive area for equipment and people. The staff are amazing. Starting with the boat crew who always have a smile on their face and are always willing to help. The kitchen staff are amazing. Delicious food every meal, thoughtful snacks and small touches throughout the week. Lastly the dive guides are great. Very friendly, safety orientated and are excellent at finding amazing underwater creatures. We very much enjoyed our trip to Komodo. Thanks Mikumba.

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.
