“We brachten een geweldige reis met Queenesia. ”
Hoogtepunten
Het Queenesia liveaboard is een traditioneel houten zeilschip dat is gebouwd in Sulawesi om gasten voor geweldige duikvakanties en avontuurlijke reizen mee te namen naar Komodo Nationaal Park. Met een maximum van 8 gasten creëert de Queenesia een gevoel van comfort met maar 3 goed uitgeruste cabines. Iedere cabine beschikt over opbergruimte, stopcontacten, individueel regelbare airconditioning en een eigen ensuite badkamer. De flexibele beddenconfiguratie kan gemakkelijk de vorm aannemen van een tweepersoons of vierpersoonscabine, die uitermate geschikt is voor kleine groepen, familie of vrienden. Het grote hoofddek is een fijne plek om tussen de duiken door te ontspannen, te genieten van de zeebries of het uitzicht in u op te nemen. Alle maaltijden worden iedere dag vers klaargemaakt door de aanwezige chef en worden aangepast naar de wensen van haar gasten. Zo worden er iedere dag een variatie aan lokale groenten, fruit en verse vis geserveerd naast een mix van Europese en gezonde gerechten.
Met haar flexibele reisroutes zorgt deze cruise voor een perfecte balans tussen duiken en andere activiteiten. Duik met rifhaaien, schildpadden en manta’s op de ene dag en wandel naar schitterende uitzichtpunten, ongerepte stranden en ga eilandhoppen op de volgende dag. De grote tender maakt het erg makkelijk om van en naar de duikspots te komen. Daarnaast worden de duikgroepen klein gehouden voor een stress-vrije ervaring.
Een reis aan boord van de Queenesia is perfect voor individuen, stellen, familie en vrienden. Ze ligt op u te wachten in Komodo. Boek uw reis online.

Great Diving Aboard a No-Frills Boat
My girlfriend and I had a great time on the Queenesia II for a six-day tour of Komodo. The crew was always positive, fun, and friendly, and they always accomodated us as best as they could. The itinerary covered everything you want out of Komodo, including land-based activities like komodo dragon hiking and pink-sand beach. The dive sites were lackluster at times but other times it was some of the best I've experienced. The boat is cozy and charming on deck, although the rooms were sparse at best. But considering how much we paid, overall it was a great value. Shout out to our Cruise Director Ricky, Divemaster Elon, and Gilbert for making it a memorable trip.

Rustic dive boat with a variety of dive sites
Pros -very friendly, helpful crew and divemasters -cold AC in cabin -variety of dive sites for wide angle & macro -big portions of tasty Indonesian food -tender can do pickups -private ensuite bathroom -spacious boat to relax -plenty of clothes line to hang wet gear -plenty of storage under the bed (stored unused suitcases there) -2 charging stations in the indoor eating area with space for cameras -charging prohibited in cabin -1 microfiber towel and 1 bath towel provided -bathrooms & shower on dive deck (one bathroom has hot water) Cons -compressor system is “artisanal”: 2 portable compressors on dive deck with only 1 fill whip each. Extremely noisy when running. -minimal safety briefing about boat & emergency procedures (no information given on: location of fire extinguishers, smoke detectors/alarms, person overboard procedure, fire evacuation procedure, AED location, [as for emergency oxygen, I believe they said there were 2 emergency oxygen bottles, but did not show us exactly where stored]) -no briefing on what do to if you get caught in down current (luckily did not happen), reef hooks not provided (we brought our own, but some divers were just grabbing onto rock in crazy current!)

Great Liveaboard
*Disclaimer - We were upgraded to a larger boat due to maintenance on the boat we booked (but that's already a great indication of the outstanding service this company provided)* It was my first live aboard and I will for sure do another one! Staff and dive guides were outstanding. There was so much food and tea or hot chocolate served after every dive. The dive guides knew the sites super well and were flexible to requests to go early, do a day dive instead of night dive, etc. Overall a 5 star experience and I would highly recommend this company to other divers.

Beautiful dive sites, accommodations could be better
I'll start with the positives of our 6d/5n trip on the Queenesia. It was much less expensive than other options in Komodo and we were able to dive the same amazing dive sites. +We enjoyed the variety of diving and shore excursions aboard the Queenesia (watching flying foxes at sunset, visiting Pink Beach, snorkeling a beautiful sandbar and trekking with komodo dragons on Rinca). +The crew was very nice and hard-working. There was a bit of a language barrier (we don't speak Indonesian) so we had limited communication with the non-diving crew. +The shady lounging deck was a great place to spend time onboard in the hammock or one of the beanbags. +Having night dives every day was an awesome part of the trip. Rental torches were in great condition and worked well. Our expectations were a bit higher than they should have been since this was our fourth liveaboard experience. We were a bit disappointed with the overall comfort aboard the Queeneasia. I think it would be fine for a 3 day trip but after 6 days it wasn't great. - Accommodations are pretty basic (no hot water in ensuite showers, toilets clogged even without flushing paper, no ac in common areas, loud generator running under our bedroom all night). -The food is the same few meals on rotation. The food was tasty for the first few times but we got bored with the same dishes by the end of the trip. I'm fine with Indonesian food but mix up the sauces and spices some. -The bedding included only a bottom sheet, pillows and a small decorative throw on the foot of the bed. We had to ask for a top sheet/blanket and were met with confusion. The microfiber towels (2 per guest) provided were great for the trip and in like new condition. -Our cabin air conditioner cooled well but smelled poopy when running. -The rental gear was in very poor condition (ripped wetsuits, cracked hoses on regs, leaking masks, BCDs were great) and after returning we've been informed it was at the end of its life and the new gear shipment was delayed at port. -Finally, the dive briefings should have been more detailed. We often exceeded max depths we discussed during the briefing and the one time I asked why, the dive master said there was a current. As experienced divers (over 100 dives each and higher certifications), I think the dive master assumed we knew more than we did. We were caught in a pretty scary downcurrent and I didn't feel prepared to handle it. Having never dived in currents like Indonesia, I would have appreciated a more detailed explanation of down currents, reef hooks, etc. In summary, if you have a tight budget and really want to dive on Komodo, then the Queenesia will get you there but be prepared to forgo some comforts. But most importantly, you should be prepared to aggressively be your own safety advocate (triple-check your gear, ask lots of questions before and after every dive and ideally I'd recommend completing a rescue certification before your visit).

Great crew gave us a once in a lifetime experience!
The only less than perfect part of the trip was that is was combined with a 4 days/3 nights last minute add on. This caused us to return one day early to Labuan Bajo harbor to drop off those passengers. Therefore that last night and last dive were outside of Komodo National park, in much busier water and the diving was of much lower quality.

좋았어요
6일 동안 즐겁고 안전한 다이빙을 하였습니다. 다이빙 로케이션도 좋았고 다이빙 가이드는 너무 친절하고 안전하게 많은것을 보게 해 주었습니다. 식사 및 간식은 너무 맛있었고, 크루들은 세심하게 챙겨 주면서 친절하였습니다. 다이빙 장비를 렌탈 하여 사용하였지만 장비 모두 상태가 아주 좋았습니다..오래된 선박은 큰 기대를 하지 않았지만 지내기에 큰 불편함은 없었습니다..가격 대비하여 아주 큰 만족을 하였습니다.

Ausgezeichnete Tauchsafari!
Ich hatte eine Tolle Zeit an Board der Queenasia. Die Organisation war Top und die Crew wirklich super! Das Essen war abwechslungsreich und auch für Vegetarier immer was dabei. Die Tauchplätze wurden gut gewählt und die Divemaster und auch die restliche Crew haben alles erdenklich Mögliche unternommen, um uns eine wundervolle Zeit zu bereiten. Ich würde diese Reise jedem weiterempfehlen! Die Schlafräume waren ausreichend groß und es war alles vorhanden, was man benötigt (Handtücher, Shampoo und Seife, Haartrockner).
