10/10 - a thoroughly well organised company, enjoyed every second!
It was thoroughly well put together, with 15 staff to attend to the 12 guests. All the way from engineer, to boat decks, kitchen staff, to dive guides - all were exceptional. The boat itself is incredibly comfortable, with plenty of space to chill in-between dives and rooms are well kept. The food was delicious every meal and we certainly didn't go hungry! Eric and Camille run the whole operation incredibly well, and go the extra mile with non-dive activities such as hikes, shexpert talks (shark expert) and a bit of ornithology. The days are packed but that's a good thing, and it's amazing how much you can fit into the week, with a total of 23 dives. Importantly, they genuinely care about the reef, its inhabitants, and the protection of them which is refreshing. Watching fellow divers smash up the coral with their fins actually ruins holidays but they really keep an eye on this. Thoroughly recommend this organisation if you're considering Raja Ampat.

Incredible Trip in Komodo
An unforgettable Komodo experience from start to finish. The diving is without question among the best in the world, with extraordinary marine life and breathtaking reefs at every site. Special thanks to Eric and Camille, the outstanding cruise directors, whose expertise and warmth set the tone for the entire journey. Equal appreciation goes to the crew, whose skill, attentiveness, and constant good spirits ensured that every detail was flawless. A truly world-class operation.

Amazing experience
Dives sites were great, dive guides and instructors were amazing and very friendly, thank you @Salla, Abda and Hans! Very friendly environment for snorkels too! Excursions were perfect and we got to see some incredible places and views. Food was always very tasty and different, I wonder how the chef managed to cook so well in a tiny kitchen and limited ingredients. The rest of the crew was so nice too, all very friendly, always ready to help and to have a chat with. We even got the opportunity to watch them sing and playing instruments. So in the end the trip was great if not perfect. Nothing to complain about but on the contrary it felt like every little detail was carefully thought to give to all the guests the best experience possible. Every day is packed with lots of activities for a quite schedule but there’s always a bit of time to chill and just enjoy the sceneries passing by. Highly recommended trip! Thanks Mikumba Diving team!

Wonderful 6 days of diving in and around Komodo National Park
The mix of land activities and diving, ensuring we didn’t miss one highlight of Komodo National Park (such as Padar, Rinca, flying foxes or any of the best dive sites). The talented crew doing a sunset jam session was so much fun too!

Wonderful 6 day trip to Komodo
Mikumba was my first liveaboard diving experience, and I could not have asked for anything more on the 6-day trip in Komodo. Every single one of the crew did a fantastic job with a smile. The boat was new and a good size, I booked the standard cabin which was basic but clean, the food was varied and delicious, the group of divers were great, the dive guides were attentive, helpful, and friendly, and cruise directors Eric and Cami worked non-stop both behind the scenes and centre stage to deliver a smooth and fun experience on the boat, in the water, and on the land-based outings. One memorable experience was to witness the presentation of Pocari Sweat on Komodo's "Pride Rock" equivalent to the Circle Of Life. The diving itself was brilliant. It had been a while since my last dive, so the team offered a refresher during the first dive. The crew were always on hand to help with the gear. And under water, the amount of marine life was wonderful, and the encounters ranged from manta rays, turtles and sharks, to a myriad of micro stuff. I wholeheartedly recommend Mikumba. Thank you for a fantastic liveaboard experience!

Beautiful diving on a lovely boat!
Terrific boat and crew. Great safety practices and a wonderful onboard culture. This is a great mid-level experience....very comfortable....not the highest end luxury, but good value and good diving. I was both energized by amazing diving and relaxed by a very solid on-board experience. I would definitely dive with Makumba again....looking forward to their new boat in early 2027!
