A traditional wooden phinisi built in south Sulawesi, the Queenesia liveaboard was custom-built for fantastic dive and adventure cruises in Komodo National Park. Catering to just 8 guests, the Queenesia creates a feeling of comfort in 3 well-equipped cabins. Each room has storage space, charging ports, individually controlled AC, and private en-suite bathrooms. Flexible bedding configuration, which includes a double cabin, a twin cabin, and a quad cabin, is perfect for a small-group charter of family or friends. The large main-deck area is ideal for relaxing in-between activities, enjoying the sea breeze, or taking in the beautiful sunrise or sunset.

Great encounters in Komodo and comfortable boat
The trip was great, we were very lucky to see mantas and sharks very close and for a long period of time. We did south Komodo because the north was closed due to the weather in December. Visibility was good. The crew and the other guests made me have an amazing time, we did karaoke at night, snorkel with sharks... The boat is quite big and clean. The rooms are very comfortable. Everything was well organized, also the trekkings.

Alone in Komodo
Good Boat. Good Cabin, confy Beds. Very good Food. The staff was very friendly. The Guide searched a lot of tiny live under water for us what was great. But we got in a very dangerous situation at Batu Bolong becaus the Dive was pland badly and the briefing was not adequate. Over all a good experience.

The perfect way to experience Komodo National Park with amazing staff and at great value
Dive, eat, sleep, repeat. The trip provided exactly what we were after - 17 fantastic dives, comfortable air-conditioned rooms, amazing food between every dive, comfortable places to relax and talk to new friends, and amazing staff and eagle-eyed divemasters looking after us consistently. Fantastic value and a wonderful time <3

Excellent dives, simple but comfortable!
If you want to experience excellent diving in Komodo with small dive groups, great dive guides, amazing nature and friendly crew than this is the liveaboard for you! We did 17 amazing dives, one dive we were the only boat there and saw 15 manta rays all to ourselves! We came in late November and the weather had turned for the season so we were unable to dive the north west of the island however the crew changed plans and made sure to give us great dives! Ed is a passionate dive master and excellent finding all sorts of creatures! I am a marine biologist/ big fish nerd and he took time identifying species with me after each dive and working out what I wanted to find next! The boat is simple but has whatever you need, we only had 5 people on board which was stellar. I have food allergies and the cook made sure I always had things to eat. An extra bonus is the two treks you do, we always went at a great time when there were not many other people! If you want a luxurious boat and food this isn't the liveaboard for you, but if you want to live the 'eat, sleep, dive, repeat' moto and see incredible nature, be sure to book this trip!

- The dive guide Ed was incredible, he obviously is super passionate about what he does. He spent time finding all the fish I was looking for and we talked about them before and after each dive!. Price is really great for the service and dives that you get. A mix of amazing dive sites with days that you dive 4 times and also a day with 2 dives and some trekking!.

Excellent
I had a pleasant time with queenesia. It's not the most luxurious boat but it is very comfortable. I am very lucky to have a boat of diver with similar dive profile. So we explore dive sites with the maximum time allowed. This also allows us to see a healthy Komodo! There was engine issues with generators which others has brought up before. I think management need to take some time back to have the generator serviced rather than having trips from back to back.

Excellent liveaboard!
I had a great time aboard the Queenasia. The organization was top and the crew really great! The food was varied and there was always something for vegetarians. The dive sites were well chosen and the divemasters and the rest of the crew did everything possible to make us have a wonderful time. I would recommend this trip to anyone!The bedrooms were sufficiently large and everything was available (towels, shampoo and soap, hair dryer).

A simple, no frills liveaboard.
A smooth trip in Komodo NP. Queenesia is a nice boat with lots of room for relaxing and diving alike. The crew were warm & friendly, whilst also being flexible, adapting the itinerary to suit the changing conditions and guest requests. What could’ve made it even better would be a dedicated smoking area, to prevent guests smoking in communal rest areas and more variety with the food.

Amazing diving, excellent value
While the boat is not the most comfortable, the diving is excellent and Ed the dive guide was the best we ever had. There is no hot water in the cabin bathroom, but aircon worked fine. During our liveaboard, there were only four guest, us included. If the boat is full, it might get a little cramped. Food was also great. We felt we got amazing value for money, liveaboard is definetely the best way to do Komodo, we had even the popular divesites almost to ourselves, as the boat got there first. We had a crew of 8 who were amazing and so friendly.
