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.

Mikumba Dua - a wonderful trip in every way!
Mikumba Dua far exceeded our expectations in every way - so much so that my son and I are already talking about joining them again next year. The diving was wonderful - healthy soft and hard coral and abundant marine life. My son is a certified dive instructor and found the diving fantastic, but intense. The currents in Indonesia were much greater than he experienced instructing in the Carribbean, but it led to such wonderful, healthy underwater conditions. The Mikumba Dua is a comfortable boat. We had two rooms, a master cabin for me and a standard cabin for my son. We slept well and felt we had all the comforts of home - on the boat. The chef was equally wonderful. Full, hearty, tasty, balanced meals that included just enough local flavors. As I said, I gained 5 pounds in 5 days, despite 14 dives. That speaks to the delicious food. The public spaces were perfect. An indoor salon for when it was too windy; otherwise everything was served on the outdoor, covered top deck. One could comfortably lounge on the covered deck or the open/sun deck - or in the salon. Our mix of guests worked wonderfully for our trip. Two couples from France (Paris and Strasbourg), 1 from Milan and my son and I from the USA. Plus, the 'permanent guest' owner Jeremy from the UK. Everyone mixed well, had space to themselves when needed, with lots of time underwater! I couldn't be more pleased with our decision to go with the Mikumba Dua. We look forward to doing it a second time with them next year. 100% endorsement!

- Great diving and dive masters. Wonderful food; every meal, every time (I gained 5 pounds, even after 14 dives). Great crew who went out of their way to make sure every need was met. And on kareoke night, they enthusiastically joined in and made the night better. The captain is a wild and crazy guy!!.

One of the best dive experience!
First of all I would like to thank the whole crew for an amazing trip and an experience. Everyone was very attentive, respectful, and very fun to be around! I have always felt safe during our dives as dive master was very attentive. Some of the dives for me was bit challenging, but the dive master, Willy, always had a positive attitude and supported me as well as others during our dives to have the best experience possible. And needless to say the food during the 5 day trip was amazing. I think it was the most delicious food I had including Bali and Labuan Bajo. The trip was very organized and flexible to make sure we were having a best time while maintaining safety. If opportunity arises, I would love to and hope to join them again for an other trips!! Also all the people we met were all so friendly and fun! Which was a blessing and made our stay even better.

The best liveaboard ever
Such an incredible week! We had the best time and everything was very well planned from start to finish. The meals were great, there was very enjoyable variety in the dives, and the land activities were a great way to keep each day new. We felt very safe the entire time in the currents because of how experienced and knowledgeable our dive masters were. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Best value for the pennies you’ve saved
We had a great week with amazing diving, some beach trips, paddleboarding and unforgettable sunset cruises! Food was the best I’ve eaten in Indonesia so far. Boat crew is friendly and making their best to make you feel like home. Hugo and Damian were also doing everything they could (and a bit more) to make you enjoy your stay. Boat itself is in top shape and you can find all the facilities you need. This trip was really worth every penny and even more, I’m definitely gonna return :)

Unforgettable experience
We had an amazing time in Raja Ampat, thanks to the great service provided by Mikumba Dua. The boat is comfortable, the itinerary is great, the food is delicious, and all members of the crew are extremely friendly! On top of that, Damien was available before and after our cruise to help us sort out the logistics of our trip and answer all of our questions. I recommend them to anyone who wants to have a great time in Raja Ampat or Komodo! They are also on Instagram @mikumbadua, where you can check out more photos and videos of the boat.

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.
