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.

Great trip with many highlights
Very nice diving trip with many highlights, but only suitable for experienced divers with good physical condition, as there are very strong and unpredictable currents.Great landscapes and a very good and healthy meal thanks to mom on board, many thanks also to the experienced guides and the great group. Gene again....

perfect liveaboard
The crew are all incredibly friendly. our dive guides sali and fali are witty, humorous and highly professional. My fellow divers are warm and amiable too. The food is delicious. The scenery on land is also lovely. We watched sunrises, the bright moon rising over the sea and countless stars filling the sky every day. The boat is comfortable, and the underwater scenery is absolutely stunning. It’s been an amazing diving experience — gorgeous corals, schools of fish and exciting currents.

Amazing trip. Would do it again.
The diving in Komodo was excellent, lead by dive guides Faldy and Saldy. The entire crew was very professional and welcoming. The boat was very comfortable, the food was excellent, everything was great.

Perfect diving, on-board and above-water experience
We have to start with the diving - Komodo has exceptional and varied sites. The dive guides- special mention to Saldy - were experienced, knowledgable and professional., making sure that every diver was well-prepared for the conditions at each site and had a great experience. Strong full moon currents made for exciting dives with loads of manta and shark action, but also the best coral and quantity of fish that we have seen for a long time, The balance with inland activities between dives was also great (dragons and a couple of lovely sunset treks). however, the main reason we are so pleased that we chose the Mikumba Dua was the perfect on-board experience. The master cabin was beautiful, light and far more roomy than expected, with its own balcony. On deck was chilled and the chef did a phenomenal job of feeding us with delicious, fresh food. The entire crew were so professional and friendly. Working as a great team to make sure everything was perfect with our trio. We loved the last night party on board - gate-crashed by some from surrounding boats - the music, singing and dancing was that good! Honestly, there’s nothing we can say could be improved - thank you to the whole crew🙏

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.

Your dreams will come true on Mikumba Dua
Best liveaboard we ever visited. Not only the boat was absolutely clean and maintained, but every single crew made us feel welcome and tried to make our holidays amazing. From the beginning of pick up at the hotel it was so smooth and everything was taking care of. Crew was fun and friendly and professional in each aspect.Our family of 4 including 13 and 15 year old divers were in great , safe hands and we all had the best time of our lives thanks to really everyone on the boat. And I have to mention the food - so many different food, colors and smells always on the top of the deck with milion dollar views. This liveaborad with its crew and surrounding nature is hard to find and needs to experienced.

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!!.
