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!

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.

Absolutely amazing time
I had an absolutely amazing time diving for 5 days with Jelajahi Laut at Komodo! The crew was super friendly and really went out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable. The food was delicious—such a treat! The liveaboard was spacious, so I could enjoy my own privacy even while sharing the experience with 11 other wonderful people. I loved every minute of it!

Great dives great mood
I had a fantastic experience on board of the Jelajahi Laut thanks to the experience and kindness of the crew, especially the cruise directors Eric and Cami. They knew when was the best time to go to each dive location, considering current, weather, crowdedness and other factors. They went out of their way to find the perfect spot to jump and always did whatever they could to make sure we enjoyed the dive as much as possible. Eric even gifted me a new wristband for my dive computer when mine was about to break. The entire crew also created a very fun and relaxed mood on the boat. Everyone was very friendly and kind, overall a fantastic experience to explore the Komodo National Park. Even the hikes were fun and enjoyable. I can only recommend :)

Fantastic Liveaboard with outstanding staff
Incredible coral and sea life, dives were not only beautiful but diverse with a night dive and some exciting current dives. We dove with our children for the first time and the lead dive guide was able to make us all comfortable and safe. The food was very good and plentiful, and the views from our on board room were unforgettable.
