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 absolutely fantastic experience
The Nusantara live-aboard in Indonesia was an absolutely fantastic experience. The food on board was delicious, with a great variety of local and international dishes that catered to all tastes. The diving was incredibly interesting and enjoyable - we saw so many amazing marine creatures that I had never seen before. The trip to Komodo National Park to see the Komodo dragons was a real highlight as well. The crew on the Nusantara were all incredibly friendly and helpful. They were very professional and knowledgeable, especially the experienced dive guides who led us on incredible dives to see the vibrant underwater landscapes and diverse marine life. The entire crew went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing and memorable time. Overall, I would highly recommend the Nusantara live-aboard to anyone looking for an unforgettable dive adventure in Indonesia. The combination of great food, excellent diving, and outstanding service made this one of the best travel experiences I've ever had. I can't wait to return someday!

Incredible!!!
My first liveaboard and Mikumba diving have got me addicted. Don't be put off by the small dive centre as the dive guides, crew, boat and food were all outstanding and a very reasonable price. 12 dives in 4 days plus seeing Komodo dragons and hiking on Padar Island. So much life and some fun currents. Dive guides extremely knowledgeable and really focused on your safety and having fun! Would highly recommend. Thanks to Sallah, Faldez, Hans and all the crew for helping make incredible memories.

Great liveaboard at a great price
Boat renovated just a few years ago. Great food. The crew was great: we felt pampered. Our dive guide Hans was truly exceptional. During the dives, he was always careful to get the best out of the dive and to make sure that everyone felt comfortable. We felt very safe during the dives.

Amazing trip!
I had an amazing trip on Nusantara! We saw a lot of beautiful dive sites and the crew on board were so kind and helpful. The ratio between diving and free time was perfect. You had time to relax between the dives, but you didn’t get bored. I slept on the top deck and I would 100% recommend that. It wasn’t too hot and there were so much space. It was 4 unforgettable days! I will definitely be diving with Mikumba diving again. Great company!

Excellent affordable liveaboard in Komodo
Would absolutely recommend diving from the Nusantara, I had a great Komodo tour with them. The staff is excellent, taking absolutely everything out of your hands and letting you focus just on the diving. The dive guides were really passionate and showed us a lot of great marine life. They also take good care of safety, i.e. by checking in regularly on me after I had some equalizing problems on one dive. The boat staff kept the boat in impeccably clean condition and made us great food. The liveaboard is quite affordable, because the facilities are not super luxurious: it is basically a floating hostel for divers. If you are looking for more luxury another boat might be better. But for me, I was more than happy with the value for money! The one thing they could improve is a bit more transparency in the pricing upfront. The park fee is quite steep (and it was not communicated clearly that the price of 300k was per day, and not per trip) and there was a fuel surcharge after booking. I would have preferred everything to be included in the price upfront.

Amazing experience! Highly recommend!
Absolutely incredible!!! The diving was amazing. The dive masters were very knowledgeable, safe, kind, and fun. The crew was so amazing and proactive. The food and snacks were delicious. We had a fun, busy schedule of dives every day and would relax on the bean bags in the sun between dives! We also went to see the Komodo Dragons at Rinca island early in the morning so we were some of the only people there which was very smart. And we did a sunset hike! My boat was 8 solo travelers and two couples mainly in their 20s and 30s which was perfect. We all had lots of fun together!!

Unbelievable diving experience
I spent 4 days and 3 nights on board the Nusantara with Mikumbu Diving and the whole experience was perfect from start to finish. The boat and crew were all excellent, and my dive guide Hans, was brilliant. All the dives were really well briefed, I loved the little dive site drawings on the white board, and felt safe on all the dives. The land based trips for the Komodo dragons and a sunset walk were also really great additions. The food was class, really above my expectations of what was possible to prepare on a little boat, and various dietary requirements for people on board were all catered for well. The sleeping cabin is on the cosy side, but after a day of diving its perfectly possible to sleep well, there are portholes to let fresh, cooler air in. There's a nice spot on top with bean bags to chill out on, or an area below for some shade. The equipment was all pretty new and in very good condition. And the dive sites are world class!

Mantas, monitor lizards and a great time!
An overall great experience, especially for the relatively low price. The combination of diving and two shore excursions – Komodo dragons and sunset hike – was successful. The manta rays at several dive sites were unforgettable, and the dive guides did a great job, paying attention to safety and detailed briefings. Food top! The only minus point: In the dorm on the lower deck it was often warm and stuffy despite fans. Nevertheless, absolutely recommended!
