Why so many guests choose Moana

Because the trip is designed to feel personal, flexible, and well looked after from the start. If one of you dives and the other prefers to snorkel, if you want adventure without giving up comfort, or if you simply want Komodo to feel special rather than crowded, Moana is built for that balance.

Dedicated for Divers — we love snorkeling guests too 3 guides on board — divers and snorkelers each get their own experience.
Small by design Only 10 guests — a diving couple can get their own guide, a photographer gets the space to shoot.
Adventure meets comfort World-class diving, ensuite cabins, and a chef who takes food seriously.
Personal from the start Warm, very responsive pre-trip communication. Ask us anything.
Same team for 12+ years Same management since 2014 — owners still hands-on, sometimes leading trips.

Two kinds of liveaboard trip

The difference isn't in the destination — it's in how the trip is built.

What most liveaboards feel like

  • Larger boats can feel crowded and less personal
  • A more rigid schedule with less room to adapt
  • Mixed groups do not always get the same flexibility
  • A less personal, less tailored experience
  • Less clarity around pricing and inclusions
  • Slower replies and less personal communication before booking

What Moana feels like

  • Max 10 guests — small enough to feel personal
  • Routes shaped by weather, wildlife, and your group
  • 3 guides — enough flexibility for serious divers, mixed couples, and different experience levels
  • Personal from first message to long after you're home
  • Clear pricing, no surprises
  • Real answers within hours

A different kind of liveaboard

Some things we do differently — and why.

Others say you need 7 or 10 nights to really see Komodo. 5 nights. Every day counts.

Most of our guests have 14–16+ days in Indonesia. A week in Bali, then 6 days with us on the water — that's the natural rhythm, and we've refined every route over 12 years to make each day count. Quality, not quantity. And guests who want more? They join a second trip — no two are ever the same.

Others offer spacious suites with private lounges. Comfortable cabins, beautiful shared living.

Our cabins are cosy, comfortable, and designed for rest — not for retreating. You're in the tropics. The real living room is on deck: sunrise coffee, afternoon shade, evening stars. There's plenty of private space on board — just not behind a cabin door.

Others advertise high-speed Starlink WiFi. You're more connected than you think.

Komodo National Park has solid 4G coverage most of the time. A local eSIM costs around €10–15 with plenty of data. The few hours without signal? Those tend to be the moments guests remember most. Share your photos when you're back in range — or enjoy being truly offline for a while.

Others move between regions to follow the "best season." We chose Komodo on purpose.

Komodo is worth diving far beyond a narrow peak season. Different months bring different rewards — from quieter anchorages and fewer boats to nutrient-rich conditions and incredible marine life. By staying focused here, we keep refining what we know best: how to give guests a smoother, better-prepared, and more deeply considered Komodo trip.
