Absolute recommendation!!
The trip is perfectly organized and it is a dream experience on a beautiful boat. Equipment and crew are great. This is where many years of experience meet passion. The fact that the flora and fauna in Komodo National Park are breathtaking also helps, of course.

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.

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.

- Small group on a roomy liveaboard with a cozy friendly vibe. Crew always ready to help with a smile. Great variety in dive sites with manta sightings on several of the dives.

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.
