Why Choose a Liveaboard in Komodo?

The Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a diver’s paradise, offering some of the most biodiverse and exciting underwater experiences in the world. With its strong currents, vibrant coral reefs, and an abundance of marine life, including manta rays, sharks, and the famous Komodo dragons, this destination is a must-visit for any serious diver.

Choosing a liveaboard in Komodo is the best way to fully immerse yourself in this underwater wonderland. Unlike land-based diving trips, liveaboards allow you to reach the most remote and pristine dive sites, maximizing your time underwater. You’ll wake up each morning to a new dive site, ready to explore the depths of Komodo’s rich marine ecosystem. Plus, the convenience of having all your meals, accommodation, and diving logistics taken care of means you can focus entirely on what you came here to do: dive.

Liveaboard diving in Komodo also offers flexibility and variety. Whether you're a fan of adrenaline-pumping drift dives, macro photography, or large pelagic encounters, a liveaboard will give you access to a diverse range of dive sites, each with its unique appeal. From the colorful coral gardens of Batu Bolong to the exhilarating currents of Castle Rock, a liveaboard is your ticket to exploring the very best of Komodo.

Kristelle Maouad

Magnificent Komodo cruise and unforgettable memories thanks to Nicolas and the entire Wallacea team from MSY Seahorse. A big terima kasih to you!!! It was great, from the reception until the departure on the last day for the airport. Super organization and continuous adaptation of the schedule according to the conditions to make the most of the diving sites and activities. As a result, our whole group enjoyed macro diving, turtles, mantas, mobulas, sharks, tropical fish, drop-offs and gardens of rich and colorful corals,... The other activities were also very nice (walks to enjoy magnificent landscapes of the Indonesian islands, visit to the dragons, dinner under the stars, waterfall,…☺️) The team was always attentive, on and under the water, always smiling and wanting to please us. Meals, a moment of delight with varied and balanced cuisine taking into account everyone's requirements. Andy’s massages, a regenerating break! The boat, on a human scale, where you quickly feel at home. So, no choice, it was really wonderful Indonesia,..so thank you again for these unforgettable moments and I hope to see you again next year for a new cruise ☺️
