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.

Mikumba Dua - a wonderful trip in every way!
Mikumba Dua far exceeded our expectations in every way - so much so that my son and I are already talking about joining them again next year. The diving was wonderful - healthy soft and hard coral and abundant marine life. My son is a certified dive instructor and found the diving fantastic, but intense. The currents in Indonesia were much greater than he experienced instructing in the Carribbean, but it led to such wonderful, healthy underwater conditions. The Mikumba Dua is a comfortable boat. We had two rooms, a master cabin for me and a standard cabin for my son. We slept well and felt we had all the comforts of home - on the boat. The chef was equally wonderful. Full, hearty, tasty, balanced meals that included just enough local flavors. As I said, I gained 5 pounds in 5 days, despite 14 dives. That speaks to the delicious food. The public spaces were perfect. An indoor salon for when it was too windy; otherwise everything was served on the outdoor, covered top deck. One could comfortably lounge on the covered deck or the open/sun deck - or in the salon. Our mix of guests worked wonderfully for our trip. Two couples from France (Paris and Strasbourg), 1 from Milan and my son and I from the USA. Plus, the 'permanent guest' owner Jeremy from the UK. Everyone mixed well, had space to themselves when needed, with lots of time underwater! I couldn't be more pleased with our decision to go with the Mikumba Dua. We look forward to doing it a second time with them next year. 100% endorsement!

- Great diving and dive masters. Wonderful food; every meal, every time (I gained 5 pounds, even after 14 dives). Great crew who went out of their way to make sure every need was met. And on kareoke night, they enthusiastically joined in and made the night better. The captain is a wild and crazy guy!!.

Incredible Crew, Amazing Diving, and Unforgettable Memories
It almost feels unfair to highlight anyone because the entire team was wonderful, but I do want to mention a few: Willy, who kept us laughing all the time, “Bruce Lee”, for his warmth and attention, and especially Saldy, our dive master. He was extremely generous with his knowledge and showed us so much incredible macro life that I would have never spotted on my own. We stayed in the master cabin, which was very comfortable, the food was excellent throughout the trip, and overall it was simply a 10/10 experience.

Excellent trip, highly recommended.
Overall, we had a great experience with Mikumba Dua. We would be happy to return and do another trip with them. We stayed in one of the master bedrooms. The dive masters were excellent. They were helpful when half the divers started having ear problems from back to back diving, diligent with respect to safety procedures, incredible in their ability to spot macros. In general, it was a pleasure exchanging and learning from them. The food exceeded our expectations! The occasional snack after the last dive of the day was such a treat! The planning was really well done and we managed to do everything in a timely fashion without any rushing. Staying at the master bedroom was very nice. The interior is beautiful and the bed comfortable.

Komodo diving at its best
Mikumba made diving Komodo a highlight of our Indonesian trip! Starting with the diving, Komodo offers world class dive sites without having to travel hours by boat. It was amazing. Mikumba has an exceptional boat. It offers comfortable living quarters, space to hang out outside and a roomy dive area for equipment and people. The staff are amazing. Starting with the boat crew who always have a smile on their face and are always willing to help. The kitchen staff are amazing. Delicious food every meal, thoughtful snacks and small touches throughout the week. Lastly the dive guides are great. Very friendly, safety orientated and are excellent at finding amazing underwater creatures. We very much enjoyed our trip to Komodo. Thanks Mikumba.
