A truly memorable Komodo experience with Moana liveaboard
I had an incredible time aboard Moana in Komodo. As a diver, one can really feel that this boat and its crew have been focused on exploring these waters for a long time — their deep local knowledge made for a perfectly balanced itinerary that combined iconic sites with hidden gems like Police Corner, a site that only reveals its magic at just the right time. With a small group of divers and a spacious, beautifully maintained boat, the atmosphere on board was relaxed and friendly. The crew were always ready to help with a smile, creating a warm, family-like vibe throughout the trip. Add to that some truly delicious meals — it’s safe to say we were spoiled both above and below the surface. Beyond the spectacular diving, the shore excursions offered a glimpse of Komodo’s rugged landscapes and wildlife. And personally, this trip pushed me to fine-tune my diving setup and skills — I left not just with amazing memories, but as a better, more confident diver.

Great to meet more dive enthusiasts and an awesome crew that made sure you are well looked after. Thankyou Moana 😁👍
The captain and crew were most helpful, friendly and a chilled environment.. stress free and the boat was nice and big. The Komodo dragons were a hoot to see and the beautiful mantas.. clear waters and abundant fish life.

Absolute recommendation!!
The trip is perfectly organized and it is a dream experience on a beautiful boat. Equipment and crew are great. This is where many years of experience meet passion. The fact that the flora and fauna in Komodo National Park are breathtaking also helps, of course.

Simply incredible
As soon as we boarded the Moana we knew we had made the right choice. The boat is a beautifully finished Phinisi with extremely comfortable rooms but above all, a huge outside space (more like an outside living room) which was perfect for relaxing either before or after the dives. This is an extremely 'intelligent' boat as the atmosphere is both relaxed and warm and Mario becomes part of the family whilst you are on board. Mario's experience of the waters off Komodo and knowledge of both dive sites and currents was second to none as we were always dropped in at the right place, at the right time and with a good knowledge of the dive site after an extremely comprehensive briefing before each dive. The crew on this boat is a happy one and one can often hear their laughter throughout the day whilst they go about their daily duties and the dive equipment was always perfectly set up and on time for our next underwater adventure. Both my wife and I prefer sail boats and Moana is an extremely comfortable and stable boat on the water. If you prefer Motor boats then this boat might make you change your mind. Before choosing the Moana I had done a lot of research and chose her because of her experience in the Komodo waters, the long standing crew members (most of which have been on this boat for 6-8 years at least which is always a good sign) and of course for the good food reviews. All of this turned out to be true and so this is why we shall be returning on Moana with a larger group of friends in the not so distant future, perhaps to explore the Southern side of the park. A huge thank you to the Moana crew and of course to Mario for making our trip a memorable one and see you soon! I would also like to mention that liveaboard.com have been brilliant and were always available for any questions that we had pre-trip, helping us every step of the way from when we initially booked to when we disembarked.

Fantastic experience on board Moana
Just finished trip on board Moana and had an amazing time. The boat is beautiful and with only 10 guests, is very relaxed. The daily schedule is amended based on the changing currents and conditions to ensure every dive is fun, with so much life to see. The guides are great at spotting all the small things! As vegetarian food can be low point for me on liveaboards but here I was treated to great variety of tasty meals, similar to rest of the guests. Would highly recommend taking a trip on the Moana in Komodo!

Unforgettable family
Beautifully designed boat with the most incredible staff that go out of their ways to make us feel at home — accommodated my very picky dietary request at every meal, endless desire to fly my drone, etc. And they’re simply the most charming and talented people. Needless to say Komodo islands were breathtaking. Diving was great — some of the healthiest and liveliest coral lives I’ve seen. And I had the best group of divers to share with. Also worth mentioning that the boat takes max 10 divers (we had 9) which is the perfect group size for socializing over 6 days while allowing all of us max attention from the crew (12 people)!

Wonderful cruise around Komodo
The cruise was just perfect. Everything well organized, we dived in amazing spots (beautiful coral gardens, a lot of marine life, reef sharks, turtles, mantas, stingrays, snakes). The crew was extremely friendly and helpful, and very familiar with the region. In most of the spots we were alone, no other boats. Moana boat is very comfortable, with a lot of space to chill out. The food is delicious.
