Highlights

Traditional Phinisi-style liveaboard
Explore secret beaches and lagoons
Tailored private charters to suit your needs

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.

Amazing Live a Board Komodo islands on the Mikumba Dua
Our first time LiveAboard and it was amazing. From the moment we met the crew we had a great time. The boat was perfect. In perfect condition and the crew made sure it was like that during the entire trip. Everything was so well arranged. The crew did everything in such a way that it was professional and relaxed at the same time. We quickly made new friends and enjoyed the 5 days to the max. We went to amazing sites for diving. Guided by 2 skilled dive masters. The dingy-drivers did a great job. The cooks made us amazing meals 3 times a day. The captain made sure it was smooth sailing everytime. Compliments to all the crewmembers. We would recomend the Mikumba Dua to everybody who would want to do a Live a board. If this is your first time or if you have done this before this will be an amazing trip. We stayed in the mastercabin and that was like staying in a 5 star floating hotel room. We would really recommend that, but if it is just for sleeping and your suitcase the other rooms are also great. Hope to come again Maribel and Martijn from Belanda (The Netherlands)

The crew are all incredibly friendly. our dive guides sali and fali are witty, humorous and highly professional. My fellow divers are warm and amiable too. The food is delicious. The scenery on land is also lovely. We watched sunrises, the bright moon rising over the sea and countless stars filling the sky every day. The boat is comfortable, and the underwater scenery is absolutely stunning. It’s been an amazing diving experience — gorgeous corals, schools of fish and exciting currents.

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.

What a wonderful experience!
It was our first time on a liveaboard. Thanks to the crew, we enjoyed 13 dives without any worries. I'd like to express my gratitude to all the crew (Captain Ilfan, Hot man, Fadly, Almad, Bruce Lee, Agus, Willy, Sarul, Dion, Hans and Jeremy) The room and bathroom were clean, comfortable and convenient. There were enough clothespins and hangers, it was helpful to dry clothes and towers after diving. The meal were excellent and we could enjoy fresh fruit every time. We asked vegan meals, and most food seemed vegetarian, but there were also options for vegans. There were enough snacks, cookies, soft drinks, teas in the common area, we enjoyed them during breaks. Jeremy immediately offered assistance when a guest felt sick or uncomfortable.

Excellent trip in every respect. Diving was great and, although the currents were very strong at times, the dive instructors gave clear guidance on how to navigate them and enjoy the marine life. There was just so much to see on the healthy reefs.

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.

One of the best dive experience!
First of all I would like to thank the whole crew for an amazing trip and an experience. Everyone was very attentive, respectful, and very fun to be around! I have always felt safe during our dives as dive master was very attentive. Some of the dives for me was bit challenging, but the dive master, Willy, always had a positive attitude and supported me as well as others during our dives to have the best experience possible. And needless to say the food during the 5 day trip was amazing. I think it was the most delicious food I had including Bali and Labuan Bajo. The trip was very organized and flexible to make sure we were having a best time while maintaining safety. If opportunity arises, I would love to and hope to join them again for an other trips!! Also all the people we met were all so friendly and fun! Which was a blessing and made our stay even better.

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.

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 :)

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.

Awesome liveaboard in Raja Ampat
I recommend going with Mikumba Dua for (at least) the following reasons : 1. Outstanding Service The crew is exceptionally attentive to your requests and does everything possible to meet them. From the very first interaction, they made us feel comfortable. They remained kind and professional throughout the entire trip. They even managed to find, on very short notice and being in the middle of nowhere, the necessary ingredients to prepare two tasty birthday cakes. Having Willy as my dive guide was particularly enjoyable - he was both highly competent and a genuinely great person. The owner's son (from the UK) was also on board to ensure everything ran smoothly, which added an extra level of care. 2. Food The food was plentiful and of excellent quality, whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Fresh fruits like mango and dragon fruit made the meals even more enjoyable. It’s impressive that they managed to provide such high-quality meals on a boat for an entire week in such a remote location as Raja Ampat. 3. Diving Experience Ultimately, the main reason for this trip is to have unforgettable dives, and Mikumba Dua delivered. While the marine life you encounter depends on luck and seasons, we completed 18 dives in 6 days - several (if not most) of which were truly memorable. For small-fish lovers, each dive offers a chance to spot a lot of little creatures. The biodiversity is so intense that there were three heavy volumes of a book dedicated to Indonesian marine species on board. As for larger marine life, during our dives, we encountered: - At least two giant turtles and several smaller ones - Blacktip and whitetip sharks - One Napoleon - Plenty of barracudas and bumphead parrotfishes - And quite a lot of other species One of the highlights was the "Blue Magic" dive site, where four oceanic manta rays gracefully swam in front of us for a full hour - an awesome experience, even for the most seasoned divers among us. Beyond diving, while cruising, we were lucky enough to spot whales, dolphins, and flying fishes on multiple occasions. Compared to other world-class diving destinations like the Maldives, I’d say the main difference is the abundance and health of corals in Raja Ampat. For coral enthusiasts, Melissa’s Garden is a site that should be hard to match anywhere else. According to what I’ve read, 75% of the world’s coral species can be found in Raja Ampat. Its remoteness helps protect them, alongside conservation efforts by organizations like the UN. Let’s hope that they will remain in good condition for years to come. That said, reaching Raja Ampat requires significant effort: - A flight to Jakarta or Bali - Another flight to Sorong (where, to be honest, there isn’t much to do) - A two-hour ferry ride to reach the liveaboard It’s something to consider when planning your trip, based on your time, energy, and travel preferences. But once you arrive, you’ll have made it to a place few people have ever been. Most Westerners don’t even know it exists. 4. Land Activities Beyond diving, we explored: - The beautiful and tiny Mioskon Island - Two village atolls - The Piaynemo Geosite, with its breathtaking panoramic view from the top - A watersports day, with options like skurfing and paddleboarding I personally chose kayaking through the mangroves, which turned out to be an underrated gem. The stunning scenery, unexpected wildlife encounters, and the sounds of tropical birds made it a truly great experience. 5. Comfort & Atmosphere The beds were surprisingly comfortable, which is important when you’re doing three dives a day and need proper rest. There was enough relaxation areas on both the lower and upper decks, with sufficient space for all guests to enjoy the views. The number of guests on board (10), split into two dive teams, is just what is needed - manageable for the two divemasters while facilitating interactions among guests. Of course, getting along with everyone is never guaranteed, but

Our 5 days aboard the Mikumba Dua have been like being in paradise, the combination of diving, land excursions, good atmosphere, food and spectacular views have made it an amazing experience! We booked the Master Cabin 1 and it was a success, we could see the stars from the cabin at night and the beautiful sunrise from the bed. My birthday fell in the middle of the trip and the crew and Jeremy made sure to prepare little surprises that made the day even more special! Thank you to the whole team for this wonderful experience! We will definitely repeat in the future!
