Mikumba Dua 船宿, 印度尼西亚

Fantastic Liveaboard Experience

I would recommend Mikumba 2 to anyone. With 10 divers and 2 DMs, it was the perfect size for diving Raja Ampat. They coordinated with other boats and smartly timed the itinerary to ensure we had most dive sites to ourselves. This was especially useful for sites with strong currents or where you’d want to hook in to watch the action at the head of the reef (I can’t imagine how chaotic it would have been diving some of the sites with 20 people). The DMs were great, Fadly kept us on schedule and was great at spotting nudis. Ardi really knows the different fish and talked with us for hours after dinner about the different fish and animals we saw. He’s also great at shooting video with his GoPro. Hugo (another DM/Cruise Coordinator) was fantastic and made sure that there was always something to do, kept us well-informed, and took care of any concern we raised. The DMs also worked with the less experienced divers in our group, making little adjustments and offering minor tips that really improved their bouancy. The food was also great — they gave us 4 hearty meals a day plus tons of snacks! Highlights were the Friwan Wall, Blue Magic, and Melissa’s Garden. We also saw Mantas and had amazing interactions with cuttlefish on our night dive (the bioluminescent plankton was so cool!). I got to see a gray reef shark, a white tip, and lots of black tips and wobbegongs. Damian (the owner) arranged our transit from Sorong to the boat which made getting there easy (it would have been difficult and confusing without the guide). It’s standard, so don’t worry. I just recommend coming in the day before so you are able to catch the 9am ferry from Sorong to Waisai

Great DMs that were extremely knowledgeable about the dive sites and currents, wonderful food, well being planned and organized trip

Jem is a gem!!! Thanks Mikumba 2 & crew for the magical week <3

The dive sites of Raja Ampat are absolutely breathtaking (SO much marine diversity WOW), and there’s no boat I’d rather experience them on than the beautiful Mikumba 2! Mikumba 2 had by far the most varied activities I’ve ever experienced on a liveaboard — we had multiple beach hangouts, paddle boarding in the mangroves, a beach bonfire, and a magical hike to the top of Piaynemo. Jem is the kindest, friendliest guy EVER and is such a joy to be around. He and every single member of the crew went far above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic stay on the boat. The crew members were so nice :’) they helped out so much with our dives, and the dive guides were so knowledgeable about all the wildlife (and GREAT at finding creatures of all shapes and sizes)! And the food, omg— every meal was a dreaaam. They varied from day to day and consisted of a mix of local (fried rice/noodles, beef curry, lots of fish, stir fried veggies, etc) and western food (bacon, eggs, pancakes, bread, the most amazing butter and Nutella, etc). Each meal ended with the most spectacular tropical fruit platter. YUM. A few pointers: make sure you’re comfortable with strong current (there is current in many Raja Ampat dive sites), and maybe bring earplugs since some of the downstairs rooms were a little creaky at night when the boat was moving. We love all of you on Mikumba 2!!!! And hope to be back one day!!!

Amazing boat, the BEST crew, fantastic diving and excursions!

Highly recommended 100%

When I decided to dive in Komodo, friend divers warned me about the potentially dangerous currents in Komodo, so I was a bit apprehensive. Nevertheless, with around 60 dives under my belt, I decided to join this liveaboard. As expected, the currents proved to be quite strong, but I was fortunate to have an outstanding dive master, Fadly. Throughout the entire journey, Fadly went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and safety. His expertise and attentiveness made me feel at ease, even in the face of challenging conditions. I am already looking forward to returning and without hesitation, I highly recommend Mikumba for an unforgettable diving experience!!
