Highlights
Bajak is a newly renovated boat that brings forth a pirate-like atmosphere while maintaining modern-day comforts for 14 guests. The living space consists of 4 air-conditioned cabins: 1 master cabin with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom, and 3 shared cabins with 4 bunk beds and 2 shared bathrooms. Made mostly from ironwood and teakwood salvaged from decommissioned boats, the Bajak operates as a liveaboard boat in the beautiful setting of the Komodo National Park and offers access to one of the richest marine environments in the world, including stunning coral reefs, seagrass beds, seamounts, pinnacles, dramatic walls, overhangs, semi-enclosed bays, and Komodo Dragons.
The exterior features a spacious, shaded deck ideal for dive preparation, as well as an unshaded rooftop equipped with comfortable bean bags and sun mattresses, perfect for tanning and relaxation. The dining table is set right in the open galley. Additionally, there is a furnished undercover space primed for relaxing and keeping cool.
The itineraries can be set to meet everyone’s picture of a perfect holiday. Complementary to diving are surfing, sailing, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding. Guided walks on the local islands are also possible, allowing one to see the notorious Komodo dragon. Komodo offers some of the best diving in the world, with dive sites such as Manta Point, Batu Balong, and Batu Tiga. The reserve is teeming with diversity. Dugongs, manta rays, white-tip reef sharks, and hawksbill turtles are just a few residents. There is also the option to do your advanced diving course on-site.

This was one of the best trips I’ve ever done and I didn’t expect to love it so much
So amazing! I would recommend Bajak to anyone and loved the dive sites, the enthusiasm and professionalism of the crew. The briefings they gave were great and I felt safe and informed. The itinerary was organized and well explained. And the food was the best food during our entire time in Indonesia

Great crew, wonderful experience
Had a wonderful time on Bajak! The crew and dive guides were very experienced. We did 12 dives during the liveaboard and the days also included a sunset trek up on of the islands w an amazing view and an easy trek around Komodo National Park to spot the Komodo dragons. Our guide Angie/Engel is very experienced and made us feel safe for all our dives even though some dive sites may have strong currents. Saw a lot of marine life and also experienced the most thrilling Shotgun! We stayed at the Master Cabin which is en-suite with AC, and has a private “sun deck” outside. Was v comfortable overall! Highly recommended!

Oh My Goodness Bajaks Ahoy
Bajak was extraordinary! From the moment we were welcomed at the dive shop in Labuan Bajo to the final goodbye on return we felt like we were part of a family. The staff showed excellent care and passion for their jobs and constantly put our safety first. Shout out to Yunus and Fian our dive guides for taking such good care of us underwater and ensuring that we were shown all the wonderful sites/sights that Komodo National Park had to offer. Thank you to the crew for making sure that our equipment was taken care of, tender runs were prompt and the food was in our bellies. Bajak itself was an incredible vessel to seize the day on, offering panoramic views, comfortable lounge areas and clean facilities. We would highly recommend this liveaboard to absolutely everyone, no matter what level as its staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an experience to last a lifetime. Thank you for an incredible time and we will be back soon!

Transformative trip; extraordinary marine environment, fabulous friendly people -
A transformative experience. The most beautiful environment above and below the water; more fish than I have ever seen before, amazing coral reefs; multiple viewings of the magnificent manta rays and the most friendly, enthusiastic and helpful dive masters and crew you could possibly want. Not to mention the mix of international guests who were all delightful. A total treat. Scuba Republic run a highly professional, safe, affordable and enjoyable diving experience. I had 3 nights/4 days on board Bajak around the Komodo Islands and although I am relatively new to diving with still a lot to learn, and confidence to build, all my needs and concerns were taken care of moment by moment. My dive master was there for me all the way. If the dive was going to be too challenging for me, I would either snorkel or relax on the deck and enjoy the scenery instead. Yunus, the dive director, was not only extremely experienced but a bundle of laughs too. Takim the chef kept us so well fed - it was impossible to resist his delicious food.. the captain knew his boat and the islands, Bajak was well built and comfortable. To my surprise there was even wifi! I was both the granny of the trip – 20-30 yrs older than all the other guests,(!) and the baby in terms of diving experience and I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending this trip to anyone who is after a unique underwater experience in one of the most beautiful unspoilt areas of the world.

Bajak - Amazing!
I went solo on the Bajak Liveaboard and LOVED my experience. The boat isn't huge, but there were enough areas to relax and unwind. I am coeliac, and the chefs prepared delicious meals that catered to my dietary needs. The dive sites were very diverse and we saw some amazing sea life. The crew were always ready to make you a coffee, or get your dive gear ready - this made the experience even more comfortable. Although the cabins were cosy, the aircon worked a treat. The Bajak is very good value for money - would definitely recommend!
