Wonderful cruise around Komodo
The cruise was just perfect. Everything well organized, we dived in amazing spots (beautiful coral gardens, a lot of marine life, reef sharks, turtles, mantas, stingrays, snakes). The crew was extremely friendly and helpful, and very familiar with the region. In most of the spots we were alone, no other boats. Moana boat is very comfortable, with a lot of space to chill out. The food is delicious.

The magic of Moanna, Mario, Crew and Komodo
I fell in love with Moanna - very well appointed and proportioned. All parts are aesthetically very pleasing - even the air conditioners are covered with timber- so they blend in. The rooms, deck, diving area - all feel well sized, functional and attractive. It is an incredibly beautiful and a very functional vessel - could not ask for more. Then there is Mario - a very experienced and well seasoned interesting character. He runs a tight ship almost effortlessly. The dive equipment, air compressors, engines and generators are shiny; his knowledge of currents - the right spots to dive in along with his focus on safety just makes you feel that you are in expert hands and don’t need to worry about a thing. Mario and Moanna go together naturally. Then there are the lovely, attentive crew and dive guides. Friendly, competent, nothing is too much trouble - food is great They set up the equipment, guide you on and off the smaller dive boats - which are very comfortable. Everything just seems to happen (including 13 litre cylinders at 200 bar - never less) smoothly and effortlessly - leaving you to relax, enjoy and dive. Finally, there are the magical corals and natural wonders of Komodo. Left me feeling like I was in a dreamworld underwater (I dreamt of corals for days afterwards) Those six days made me feel that all is well with the world If you are reading this review and looking at boats - fearlessly and without doubt book Moanna.

Flawless experience aboard Moana
The diversity in Komodo must be seen to be believed. Moana is the perfect boat for the experience, because Mario and the crew leverage their 15+ years of experience diving locally to create an itinerary that perfectly combines the tides, currents, crowds, etc., making each dive spectacular. I'm planning to go back and do the trip again, aboard Moana.

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.

Great diving, great boat and crew, good fun.
Being a step ahead of other boats such that the dive experience was second to none. For example, beat the crowds in at a site and were able to watch 3-4 mantas play for 45 mins with no crowd to scare them away.

Senior Level Dive Trip
This was my sixth liveaboard trip and it has certainly been the best boat so far. The crew is continuously aware of our needs, not being a very large group everything is easier. The food is spectacular and the boat is very comfortable. If this wasn't enough, the diving in Komodo is absolutely spectacular, the best corals I've seen so far.

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.

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.
