Excellent affordable liveaboard in Komodo
Would absolutely recommend diving from the Nusantara, I had a great Komodo tour with them. The staff is excellent, taking absolutely everything out of your hands and letting you focus just on the diving. The dive guides were really passionate and showed us a lot of great marine life. They also take good care of safety, i.e. by checking in regularly on me after I had some equalizing problems on one dive. The boat staff kept the boat in impeccably clean condition and made us great food. The liveaboard is quite affordable, because the facilities are not super luxurious: it is basically a floating hostel for divers. If you are looking for more luxury another boat might be better. But for me, I was more than happy with the value for money! The one thing they could improve is a bit more transparency in the pricing upfront. The park fee is quite steep (and it was not communicated clearly that the price of 300k was per day, and not per trip) and there was a fuel surcharge after booking. I would have preferred everything to be included in the price upfront.

Amazing trip!
I had an amazing trip on Nusantara! We saw a lot of beautiful dive sites and the crew on board were so kind and helpful. The ratio between diving and free time was perfect. You had time to relax between the dives, but you didn’t get bored. I slept on the top deck and I would 100% recommend that. It wasn’t too hot and there were so much space. It was 4 unforgettable days! I will definitely be diving with Mikumba diving again. Great company!

Fantastic all around!
This was the highlight of my 3 week trip to Indonesia. I went as a solo and got lucky with a great crew of fellow divers from around the world, all younger 20-30s. The boat was really nice and roomy. I slept in the cabin below one night and found it comfortable with lots of room to spread out. The second night I slept up on the deck under the stars which was even better. The crew were super friendly and helpful. And the dive sites - WOW! I am an experienced diver, but this was my first liveaboard. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again!

An absolutely fantastic experience
The Nusantara live-aboard in Indonesia was an absolutely fantastic experience. The food on board was delicious, with a great variety of local and international dishes that catered to all tastes. The diving was incredibly interesting and enjoyable - we saw so many amazing marine creatures that I had never seen before. The trip to Komodo National Park to see the Komodo dragons was a real highlight as well. The crew on the Nusantara were all incredibly friendly and helpful. They were very professional and knowledgeable, especially the experienced dive guides who led us on incredible dives to see the vibrant underwater landscapes and diverse marine life. The entire crew went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing and memorable time. Overall, I would highly recommend the Nusantara live-aboard to anyone looking for an unforgettable dive adventure in Indonesia. The combination of great food, excellent diving, and outstanding service made this one of the best travel experiences I've ever had. I can't wait to return someday!

The crew set a really friendly and warm tone on the boat and were so helpful in every way. The food was excellent and plentiful. We adapted to the weather and currents to ensure we had the best dives possible. I have done 4 liveaboards, and this was my favorite experience yet! I would go back to Mikuma Diving for sure. Special thanks to Salla and Hans!

Life changing experience wish we never had to leave
I am more so speechless and finding it hard to put into words how incredible my experience was. The crew were just so much fun and my dive guide Altu was so experienced and fun as were the rest of the guides. The dive locations made it for me! I haven’t ever seen so much beauty underwater then I did on this liveaboard it was sensational and every time we entered the water we would encounter a whole new different experience . A trip I wish didn’t have to end. Thank you crew on Nusantura and had a wonderful group we all became great friends and just had a wonderful time. Thanks 🤩 I will for sure one day be back !

Nusantara LiveAboard 4d, 3n. 100/10 experience. I was excited for this but it STILL blew my mind. The diving was phenomenal, the crew was so lovely, the boat was really charming and comfy, the food was great. We loved sleeping on the deck but even the people sleeping in the bunks said it wasn't too hot. The dive guides were very knowledgeable on the dive sites and very safety conscious. We felt well taken care of. I will be back and bring my family AND my friends! Rian was our dive guide and he was kind, caring and knowledgeable.

Our first liveaboard/liveaboard. We enjoyed every minute and definitely recommend the boat! The dive guides Salla and Hans were great, excellent knowledge of the dive locations and always everyone in the group in view. Felt very safe at all times. The guys on the boat were a highlight, were extremely helpful, especially when putting on equipment. Food was very good, and more than you can eat. There were snacks or meals between all dives. We enjoyed sleeping on the sleeping deck, it was nice and cool at night, clean and would have been protected from the rain. Highly recommended for a budget dive boat.
