A magical scuba trip in Komodo
It was an amazing few days with a wonderful bunch of people all round. The cabins were lovely and spacious. Everyone was friendly. Food was plenty and super tasty. I hope to come back and do this trip again in a few years. I will always remember this experience and be forever grateful I decided to book with Moana.

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.

Fantastic experience on board Moana
Just finished trip on board Moana and had an amazing time. The boat is beautiful and with only 10 guests, is very relaxed. The daily schedule is amended based on the changing currents and conditions to ensure every dive is fun, with so much life to see. The guides are great at spotting all the small things! As vegetarian food can be low point for me on liveaboards but here I was treated to great variety of tasty meals, similar to rest of the guests. Would highly recommend taking a trip on the Moana in Komodo!

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 ◡̈

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.
