Awesome value, great trip
We had an awesome trip, the crew was really lovely and friendly, really well fed and great tasting food. The dive sights were stunning and most weren’t to crowded. Sleeping upstairs on the deck was a highlight. Would 100% recommend, awesome value for money.

Christmas Fun in Komodo
It was a great experience. The boat is small and could use some more shade, but the rest was exceptional. We had a medical issue with one guest, but the crew was super helpful and handled the situation great. The dives were awesome, so much life underwater, I loved it.

TL;DR: If you’re thinking about doing a liveaboard in Komodo, book with Mikumba. You won’t regret it.
This was our first liveaboard, and one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. My wife’s been diving for many years and has around 50 dives, and I’ve only been diving for a year and had 20 dives before this trip. We knew Komodo had a reputation for some of the best diving in the world, and it exceeded our expectations. We normally stay in private rooms with air conditioning when we travel, so sleeping in an 8-person bunk room was outside our comfort zone. But, we loved it. Everything you think could go wrong, didn’t. It stayed cool because the bunk room is below deck, everyone on the boat was respectful and quiet, and the sound of the ocean and the boat made for great white noise. I slept on the bottom bunk both nights and slept just as well as I do in a hotel with air conditioning and a king bed. After three dives in a day, you’re absolutely knackered anyway. If you’re worried about sleeping, don’t be. There are also windows above the top bunks if you’re a little claustrophobic, which keep plenty of fresh air flowing through. The diving itself was incredible, and the whole operation ran flawlessly. From the moment you sign up until the moment you step off the boat, everything is taken care of. You don’t have to lift a finger. They organise your schedule, your dive gear, your meals, everything. You dive, eat, have a nap, dive again, relax on the top deck, then dive again. It couldn’t be easier. The best part was the people. Spending three days with 12 other divers who are all there for the same reason creates a real camaraderie. I think we enjoyed it more than we would have on a luxury boat where everyone disappears back to their private cabins between dives. The crew were exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble. Every time I needed something, they sorted it straight away. There was never a “too bad”: it was always, “No worries, we’ll sort it.” The equipment was 10/10. My wetsuit was excellent, all my dive gear worked perfectly, and I didn’t hear a single complaint from anyone on the boat for the entire trip. A special shoutout to Chris, who ran the whole operation brilliantly. Every dive briefing was clear, detailed, and explained exactly what to expect. The dive guides were excellent too. They were always nearby underwater, keeping an eye on everyone, making sure we were safe, and letting us enjoy every dive. The only downside is that we’re not sure where to go from here. Komodo has set the bar so high that we’re wondering if any diving can top it. If you’ve never done a liveaboard before, make this your first. It definitely won’t be our last. Thank you so much, guys. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Michael & Dom

Amazing Liveaboard Experience with Mikumba Diving!
I recently joined a liveaboard trip with Mikumba Diving, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The boat crew were friendly, professional, and attentive to every detail. They made sure we were comfortable, safe, and well taken care of throughout the trip. The dive guides were outstanding! They are knowledgeable, patient, and deeply passionate about the marine life. Each dive was well-briefed and thoughtfully planned, allowing us to enjoy the underwater world to the fullest. We saw incredible biodiversity and always felt in good hands. A special shout-out to the cook for the amazing meals, which were a highlight of the trip in itself. Overall, Mikumba Diving exceeded all expectations. Fantastic diving, amazing crew, great vibes, and unforgettable memories.

An amazing experience
Value for money wise this can’t be beaten. The dive guides are extremely friendly & professional and are always putting the customers first. The diving itself is truly world class in Komodo National park and you will get to do all of the famous sites such as Shotgun, Batu Balong, Crystal Rock etc. The boat is relatively small, but well maintained and comfortable. The sleeping areas are fairly basic but perfectly fine for a short 3 day trip. The food is amazing and there’s plenty of it. I would highly recommend this trip to anybody

Most incredible experience!
I loved every bit of my trip on Nusantara. The crew were absolutely amazing - always helpful, taking extra care of us, expert on the dive sights, providing us with delicious food and refreshments. The diving was incredible - such life on the coral and great sightings. Seeing the Komodo dragons was great, and the sunset hike was beautiful. The fun, young and experienced other guests were an added bonus! Thank you all!

An unforgettable experience
It was certainly one of the best experiences ever. We saw documentary places, with thousands of beautiful colorful fish and corals. The food on board was extremely good and varied. The crew made the stay really comfortable and enjoyable. The guides were very prepared, even with the dives in strong currents they made everything clear and incredible. In addition, the group that was created with the travel companions was really a plus!
