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?

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.

Perfect diving, on-board and above-water experience
We have to start with the diving - Komodo has exceptional and varied sites. The dive guides- special mention to Saldy - were experienced, knowledgable and professional., making sure that every diver was well-prepared for the conditions at each site and had a great experience. Strong full moon currents made for exciting dives with loads of manta and shark action, but also the best coral and quantity of fish that we have seen for a long time, The balance with inland activities between dives was also great (dragons and a couple of lovely sunset treks). however, the main reason we are so pleased that we chose the Mikumba Dua was the perfect on-board experience. The master cabin was beautiful, light and far more roomy than expected, with its own balcony. On deck was chilled and the chef did a phenomenal job of feeding us with delicious, fresh food. The entire crew were so professional and friendly. Working as a great team to make sure everything was perfect with our trio. We loved the last night party on board - gate-crashed by some from surrounding boats - the music, singing and dancing was that good! Honestly, there’s nothing we can say could be improved - thank you to the whole crew🙏

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.

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!

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.

Your dreams will come true on Mikumba Dua
Best liveaboard we ever visited. Not only the boat was absolutely clean and maintained, but every single crew made us feel welcome and tried to make our holidays amazing. From the beginning of pick up at the hotel it was so smooth and everything was taking care of. Crew was fun and friendly and professional in each aspect.Our family of 4 including 13 and 15 year old divers were in great , safe hands and we all had the best time of our lives thanks to really everyone on the boat. And I have to mention the food - so many different food, colors and smells always on the top of the deck with milion dollar views. This liveaborad with its crew and surrounding nature is hard to find and needs to experienced.
