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.

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?

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!

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.

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.

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!

One of our best liveaboard trips
We really enjoyed our time on the Mikumba Dua. Because we were a small group, it felt more like a family (some of the captains family were on board for the trip!). The crew and the captain were really friendly and knowledgeable about the dive sites. The food and service was great. The dive masters respected your diving experience and treated you accordingly. Fantastic trip.
