Highlights
Barefoot luxury is the theme behind Mikumba Dua (of lost paradise charters) liveaboard Indonesia, having undergone an extensive renovation giving a contemporary twist to this traditional wooden boutique style phinisi. Mikumba Dua boasts the largest outdoor space found on any vessel in her class, spanning over 4 decks, allowing guests to indulge in alfresco dining under the stars while sipping away at their favorite drink or perhaps getting involved in some sunrise/sunset yoga or just lounging around on beanbags with a book. The main hub of the boat is the beautiful indoor salon, which also offers dining, a cinema room, a library, board games, or simply space for relaxation. There are 2 Master cabins on the upper deck, both en-suite and with their own private balcony, with a further 3 double/twin cabins on the lower deck sharing 2 bathrooms. All cabins are spacious and individually designed, embracing traditional local materials and fabrics.
Dining generally takes place on the top deck while taking in incredible vistas; our legendary local chef will provide a selection of authentic dishes prepared daily using the freshest locally sourced ingredients and cooked with dedication and love. The Ethos onboard Mikumba Dua is to seek adventure while getting you away from the crowds and giving you world-class diving and snorkeling. Visit secret beaches and lagoons and encounter breathtaking views from jungle-covered hilltops, all of which make for a truly magical experience, “the stuff of dreams.”
The enchanting and magnificent Raja Ampat, one of the last frontiers on Earth, is the ultimate tropical paradise. Commonly regarded as the most biodiverse marine ecosystem on our planet and ultimately some of the greatest diving and snorkeling in the world, as beautiful above the surface as below, it is “truly Heaven on Earth.”
The ambiance aboard Mikumba Dua reflects the feeling that guests are extended family and perfectly combines the balance of adventure and the feeling of home. Mikumba Dua is also available for private hire; the date of the charter, length of trip, locations, and activities can all be tailored to your needs.

Incredible Crew, Amazing Diving, and Unforgettable Memories
It almost feels unfair to highlight anyone because the entire team was wonderful, but I do want to mention a few: Willy, who kept us laughing all the time, “Bruce Lee”, for his warmth and attention, and especially Saldy, our dive master. He was extremely generous with his knowledge and showed us so much incredible macro life that I would have never spotted on my own. We stayed in the master cabin, which was very comfortable, the food was excellent throughout the trip, and overall it was simply a 10/10 experience.

Amazing Liveaboard experience
I recently joined the Mikumba Dua 2 for my very first liveaboard, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. The itinerary was well thought out, offering a great mix of dive sites as well some activities on land (sunset, komodo dragon visit) The boat itself was in excellent condition—spacious, clean, and very comfortable, which made the entire journey so enjoyable. The food on board was also consistently good, with plenty of variety to keep everyone happy. What really stood out, though, was the crew. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make the trip special. Their professionalism, friendliness, and genuine care created such a welcoming atmosphere, and it made the whole experience feel personal and memorable. All in all, the Mikumba Dua 2 delivered everything I could have hoped for on my first liveaboard and more. I’d highly recommend it to anyone considering a liveaboard adventure, and I’m already looking forward to my next one.

Incredible
The diving is amazing of course. The boat is super comfortable. Not crowded, plenty of areas to either socialize or grab some alone time. The food was great with good variety and plenty of fresh fruit. The dovr guides were helpful and not overbearing. The boat staff were efficient and friendly. The owner was very interactive and kind and positive. It was a tremendously fun week - cannot wait to return. Would easily repeat the same trip without hesitation.

A dream come true!
A really friendly boat! Everything was great! Wonderful dives, all the staff guys helpful and smiling. Nothing is left to chance, everything is perfectly organized, always on time with breefing, diving and all the activities that are included in this fantastic trip. Lots of compliments also to the guys in the kitchen, we ate really well, fresh food, excellent and well cooked, one day even the eggplant parmigiana which was better than the one I prepare at home! The boat is wonderful, the spaces are well distributed and there are these cushions that envelop you as you look at the horizon and listen to the sound of the sea... it really was a dream and I'm grateful to have chosen Mikumba, I had very high expectations, and the reality was much better than I had imagined! Thank you and all of you and my travel companions. I'll take you to the ❤️

Fabulous diving and more on Lost Paradise Charters Mikumba 2
We just completed a 6 night liveaboard dive trip in the Rajah Ampat region with Lost Paradise Charters on Mikumba 2. Damien and Jeremy, two 40++++ (just kidding) Englishmen, with social media wizz Hugo, and all their lovely Indonesian staff, provide a very personal small boat diving+ experience. Damien is the snorkeler and social activities co-coordinator, and offers beach visits, paddleboarding, and kayaking, as well as capturing spectacular sunsets in a little slice of paradise. If you enjoy winding down after a mind blowing day of diving, by watching the setting sun on a secluded beach with white sand, beer, and vodka, then this is the dive boat for you! Sounds tempting, doesn't it? The diving will draw you to the area, but if you want a little more than just a diving experience, on a very comfortable, small dive boat (10 pax), where rooms have AC, and where you'll experience excellent freshly prepared meals, cooked with love, by the hard working chef in very hot conditions, then Mikumba 2 will provide that and more. Truly spectacular diving and wonderful memories ... JUST DO IT!
