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.

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.

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.

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.

First Class Diving Experience
The trip with the fabulous Mikumba II (www.mikumbadua.com) was absolutely great in every detail and we enjoyed it to the fullest. Everything on this lovely wooden Phinisi boat is absolutely perfect: Starting from the warm welcome of the whole crew, the clean and tidy bedrooms on a high standard, the wonderful and practical deck with bean bags to hang around, the big dining table under the shadow on the top deck, the neatly organized dive station with modern and perfectly maintained dive equipment, and the caring and always helping crew working all around the clock to make the sojourn of its guests as memorable as possible. Our dive guides, Fadly and Willy, belong to the absolute elite of dive masters in the Komodo region. It was a big honor and privilege to dive with and learn from them. Further, one of the British owners, Jem, was with us during the whole turn and, being a dive master himself, supported the team on deck and took care of the guest relations in an adorable way. The lovely and always smiling crew of 12 people looks after the 10 guests like they belong to their own family. Two tender boats bring the two dive groups to the different dive sites in parallel, which all belong the most prestigious and well-known worldwide. The nature above and under water around the Komodo National Park is simply breathtaking and thrilling at the same time. The broad variety of thousands of fish and the vibrant colors of the coral reefs are outstanding! Apart from diving, the trip includes fabulous visits on beautiful islands, hikes on scenic hills, the watching of Komodo dragons and much more. Furthermore, the food of the kitchen is absolutely excellent and plenty of cooled soft drinks as well as water/tea/coffee is permanently available. All in all, our time on the Mikumba II was the alone standing highlight of our vacation in Indonesia. We would always love to come back and will recommend it to all of our family and friends! The smiles and the joy of each and everyone on this boat is simply what makes this journey the most adorable of our diving memories so far.

Excellent diving, luxurious cabins, superb crew!
This is such a fantastic liveaboard experience, I cannot recommend it highly enough. During our 5 day dive-trip, we managed to pack in 12 incredible dives, a sunset mountain climb with cocktails at the peak, an afternoon on a deserted island beach and a trek with Komodo Dragons! That's the real advantage of live-aboard diving; you're right on top of the dive sites, so more time is spent relaxing and enjoying the trip, and less time is spent commuting and preparing the boat. As far as Mikumba 2 goes; this is a world class crew, chef, and captain. The crew work tirelessly to make sure that as a guest, you don't lift a finger. The dive tanks and kit are all prepared for you before every dive, they even put the gear on your back for you, and lift it out of the sea at the end! Honestly you could do this sport if you were 110, that's how little effort it takes with all the help they offer! The crew are a bubbly and affable bunch, always smiling and helping any way they can. Our dive instructor and guide, Fadli, was a pro; organised, switched on, safe and communicative. He also has superhuman vision and will spot things on dives few people see. The food and drink on the trip is great - a 7am light breakfast, a 10am second breakfast after the 1st dive, lunch and dinner - all done on the breezy top-deck, al fresco! Finally the boat itself is well equipped, beautifully furnished and maintained inside and out, and the cabins are spacious and luxurious. The boat was recently refurbished and restyled and the attention to detail really shows. The dive kit is also new and in good condition. Finally a shout-out to the cruise-director and boat owner, who was on-board during our trip; he a lovely guy who will go out of his way to help in any way he can, and does a great job of keeping the whole show on the road/sea! Overall, this is a trip we won't forget, and will definitely book again!
