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.

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.

Joy around the clock
One of the best liveaboards we've been on. Well organised and communicated. We felt very taken care of. The below deck rooms were a little cramped but we didn't spend much time in there anyways, mostly lounging above deck in the common areas which were well furnished with bean bags. The itinerary was perfect, allowed adequate rest between dives but also included many non-diving activities including 3 treks. The dive equipment were new and in great condition. People are super nice, specifically cruise director Saldy and our dive guide Faldy. We like that they emphasize that it's a nature reserve and strictly enforced divers behaviour underwater. Food was excellent and of good variety. Highly recommend.

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.

I truly had the best time on the Mikumba Dua. The boat lacks nothing, and the crew is warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. The program is very well thought out, and the dive sites are diverse and absolutely beautiful. I will definitely come back!

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.

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.

Excellent
Excellent cruise much more beyond diving expectations. Fun, friendly staff, adventures, snorkeling, islands exploration, fireplace on the beach are just a few things to mention which are part of what a customer receives in this cruise. Good the cabin with balcony, superb tailor made services, nice cuisine. A special thanks to Damien, Geremy and their fantastic crew. When things are done with passion the outcome is always great! We loved to stay on board, we enjoyed everything and we are sure we will come back again! Walter and Cristina

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!
