Liveaboard Experience and Destinations

Liveaboard diving in Indonesia with a phinisi like Aura Suci offers access to some of the world's most biodiverse marine environments. Raja Ampat, situated in West Papua, is renowned for its vibrant coral reefs and an extraordinary variety of fish species, including manta rays and wobbegong sharks. Komodo National Park, in Nusa Tenggara, is famous for its Komodo dragons and equally impressive underwater ecosystems, featuring strong currents and large pelagic species.

The itineraries typically include multiple daily dives, opportunities for land excursions to explore islands, and often, night dives. Meals are generally prepared on board, catering to various dietary requirements upon request. The focus remains on providing an immersive and engaging experience for divers and non-divers alike.

Booking and Availability

Given the popularity of these destinations and the limited capacity of phinisi boats, it is advisable to book well in advance, particularly for peak seasons or specific dates. The rates listed in the table above are whole-boat charter prices, banded by group size. Direct contact with liveaboard operators or authorised booking agents is recommended to confirm current availability and secure reservations.
