A truly memorable Komodo experience with Moana liveaboard
I had an incredible time aboard Moana in Komodo. As a diver, one can really feel that this boat and its crew have been focused on exploring these waters for a long time — their deep local knowledge made for a perfectly balanced itinerary that combined iconic sites with hidden gems like Police Corner, a site that only reveals its magic at just the right time. With a small group of divers and a spacious, beautifully maintained boat, the atmosphere on board was relaxed and friendly. The crew were always ready to help with a smile, creating a warm, family-like vibe throughout the trip. Add to that some truly delicious meals — it’s safe to say we were spoiled both above and below the surface. Beyond the spectacular diving, the shore excursions offered a glimpse of Komodo’s rugged landscapes and wildlife. And personally, this trip pushed me to fine-tune my diving setup and skills — I left not just with amazing memories, but as a better, more confident diver.

Great to meet more dive enthusiasts and an awesome crew that made sure you are well looked after. Thankyou Moana 😁👍
The captain and crew were most helpful, friendly and a chilled environment.. stress free and the boat was nice and big. The Komodo dragons were a hoot to see and the beautiful mantas.. clear waters and abundant fish life.

Simply incredible
As soon as we boarded the Moana we knew we had made the right choice. The boat is a beautifully finished Phinisi with extremely comfortable rooms but above all, a huge outside space (more like an outside living room) which was perfect for relaxing either before or after the dives. This is an extremely 'intelligent' boat as the atmosphere is both relaxed and warm and Mario becomes part of the family whilst you are on board. Mario's experience of the waters off Komodo and knowledge of both dive sites and currents was second to none as we were always dropped in at the right place, at the right time and with a good knowledge of the dive site after an extremely comprehensive briefing before each dive. The crew on this boat is a happy one and one can often hear their laughter throughout the day whilst they go about their daily duties and the dive equipment was always perfectly set up and on time for our next underwater adventure. Both my wife and I prefer sail boats and Moana is an extremely comfortable and stable boat on the water. If you prefer Motor boats then this boat might make you change your mind. Before choosing the Moana I had done a lot of research and chose her because of her experience in the Komodo waters, the long standing crew members (most of which have been on this boat for 6-8 years at least which is always a good sign) and of course for the good food reviews. All of this turned out to be true and so this is why we shall be returning on Moana with a larger group of friends in the not so distant future, perhaps to explore the Southern side of the park. A huge thank you to the Moana crew and of course to Mario for making our trip a memorable one and see you soon! I would also like to mention that liveaboard.com have been brilliant and were always available for any questions that we had pre-trip, helping us every step of the way from when we initially booked to when we disembarked.

Unforgettable experience on the best looking boat in Komodo
Mario did an incredible job navigating the crazy weather that we experienced and made sure that we didn’t miss a dive. The crew were incredible and the meals were always a warm welcome after each dive. The guides knew each site like the back of their hand and were great to dive with. The boat itself is a thing of beauty and very well equipped for all kinds of divers.

One of the best LOB experience in Indonesia
Mario and the crew were very friendly and knowledgeable on the dive sites in Komodo. Rudi the dive master was very experienced in the underwater topography of the dive sites, ensuring that we were safe when the currents got to strong to handle. Marsi always ensured we had food and drinks after we our dives. Every meal was a culinary surprise thanks to the creativity and ingenuity of Chef Jemi. Satisfied belly = Happy diver! Moana is a clean and well managed boat with conscious effort to ensure minimal impact to the fragile ocean environment under the Mario’s wise management. Highly recommend this LOB to explore Komodo ◡̈

Fantastic diving, thriving reefs, amazing staff topped off with Komodo Dragons.
Unbelievable experience. The best liveaboard trip I have been on. The crew were brilliant, nothing was too much hassle. The diving was great, never seen so many fish , everything was bigger in Komodo, huge Napoleons. Getting to see the dragons on the walk at the end capped of an unforgettable trip.
