wonderful trip

Mario's 20 years experience in Komodo put us in the right place at the right time. Varied diving: walls, coral gardens, drifts, night dives. New terrain fish and critters every dive. Roni's smile and humour, efficient crew and well maintained gear. Food was too good. Put on weight despite 4 dives a day. Moana is beamier than other traditional boats and we didn't roll as much as other boats moored near us, slept well. Chris Australia 800+ dives.

Exploring komodo aboard the Moana!

This was my first liveaboard trip and I can't help feel like I got spoilt by the awesome Moana and its crew. The ship was beautiful with larger than expected rooms, the chef was insanely good and the food was probably the best I had in Indonesia - yes on a boat. The dive sites were phenomenal with tons of wildlife and visibility (and currents). The crew took care of all the guests even catering to specific dietary needs. Some core memories and friends were made in this trip. I loved the small Group size of 10 with a family vibe. I can't help but feel like other liveaboards might be ruined now because of my time with the Moana!

Unforgettable family

Beautifully designed boat with the most incredible staff that go out of their ways to make us feel at home — accommodated my very picky dietary request at every meal, endless desire to fly my drone, etc. And they’re simply the most charming and talented people. Needless to say Komodo islands were breathtaking. Diving was great — some of the healthiest and liveliest coral lives I’ve seen. And I had the best group of divers to share with. Also worth mentioning that the boat takes max 10 divers (we had 9) which is the perfect group size for socializing over 6 days while allowing all of us max attention from the crew (12 people)!

Idyliic Diving on a Beautiful Boat

Excellent boat with great facilities and cabins. The food was second to none (international cruise boat standard) and all crew including the cruise director were friendly and helpful The diving had amazing visibility with all the bucket list items we wanted to see (mantas, sharks, sea crates); the list goes on. Couldn't ask for anything more. Highly recommend!

Espetacular

Komodo is one of the best and “must go” places to dive. Moana liveaboard do your job, and really do it professional. Great guides, great captain and all decisions are made to rise the skill level based on your group. Some liveaboard are stuck, slow, they didn’t, thanks!!
