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.

Exceptional five days in Komodo with Mikumba Dua
The diving was outstanding. Batu Bolong's wall of fish, the current swept adrenaline of Castle Rock and Shotgun, and then Manta Point, which was everything I hoped for and more. Mantas circling the cleaning station, close enough that I lost track of time. The currents in Komodo are serious and they make the diving what it is. Add the Komodo dragons on land and the Padar viewpoint, and it is hard to think of a richer five days. What made the trip, though, was the people. Gun, our dive master, is genuinely professional and deeply knowledgeable. His briefings were excellent, he read the currents beautifully, and he found things I would have swum straight past. The whole crew was warm and welcoming from the moment I stepped aboard. And Jeremy, the owner, is an outstanding and caring host, attentive without ever hovering, and he made sure everyone on board was properly looked after. I eat gluten free and have a few other dietary restrictions that can be difficult to manage on a boat. Mikumba handled it perfectly, without any fuss, for five days straight. That level of care tells you a lot about an operation. I arrived as a solo diver and left with a group of people I will stay in touch with. If you are considering Komodo, book it.

An unforgettable Komodo liveaboard
Wonderful experience! From the boat facilities to the day to day organization, everything was exceptional. The crew was well prepared, friendly and always available. The diving activity was simply fantastic. I went with a friend and left with several, there was a great bond with the other guests too. 5 days to remember!

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.

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.

perfect liveaboard
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.

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....

Will be very very hard to forget such an awesome experience
Our trip aboard the Mikumba Dua was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The dive sites were simply astonishing—some of the most beautiful and memorable diving I've ever experienced. Every dive offered something special, and the underwater scenery exceeded all expectations. The staff were outstanding: highly professional, knowledgeable, and always focused on safety, while also being great fun to be around. Their enthusiasm and passion for diving made the whole experience even more enjoyable. One of the unexpected highlights was the fantastic group of guests on board. What started as great company quickly turned into new friendships, making the trip even more special. The food was also excellent throughout the journey, with plenty of variety and consistently delicious meals that kept us well-fuelled between dives. I would recommend the Mikumba Dua in a heartbeat to anyone looking for an exceptional liveaboard adventure. Amazing diving, wonderful crew, great food, and lifelong memories—what more could you ask for?

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)

Best first liveaboard experience!
I couldn’t have imagined a better first liveaboard experience. The boat was very comfortable and the details are well thought through. The crew are really warm and friendly, the itinerary is well made and the communication and briefing for our days was great. I shared a below deck cabin which was comfortable and clean.
