Komodo National Park

Awe-inspiring, bountiful, gorgeous, fish all over the show, exhilarating and some of the best diving I have ever done. These are all sentiments you hear often during a Komodo National Park dive adventure.

The park is celebrated as having some of the best drift diving in the world. Glide past colourful, vibrant coral reefs teeming with life, as their inhabitants go about their daily activities. Keep your eyes peeled for pelagics, sharks and manta as they come swooping in out of the deep blue. Dive some incredible macro sites to boot with cute frogfish, delicate nudibranchs and mesmerising octopuses, to name just a few.

Komodo is one of those places that will capture your heart and have you planning to return before you have even left.

Best Budget Phinisi in Komodo

For the level of service, quality of the vessel, flexible itineraries and accessible price. The Jelajahi Laut gets a vote from us for one of the best budget liveaboards in Komodo.

The Liveaboard

Jelajahi-Laut-indonesian liveaboard-thumbThe Jelajahi laut, meaning ‘explore the sea in Indonesian, is a purpose-built Phinisi yacht for divers.

After completion in 2021, the boat’s maiden season was in Komodo before traversing the Banda Sea and onwards to the water of Raja Ampat. Aimed to provide luxury at a mid-range price point, she will carry you to some of the best dive sites in Indonesia in safety and comfort.

Accommodation

Jelajahi-Laut_sea-view-cabin3-1The Jelajahi Laut caters for up to 14 divers in 6 well-appointed cabins. All cabins have an en-suite bathroom, hot water showers, and individually controlled AC.

In addition, the vessel has both well-crafted indoor and outdoor settings for you to enjoy your trip. Whether you are diving Komodo, Raja, or one of the transition trips between, the homely feel of the vessel, coupled with the experienced dive crew, will have you coming back.

The Diving

It’s  Komodo National Marine Park! The scuba is mind-blowing! The Jelajahi will take you to all the best dive sites, park, north to south. Diving is done from one of two tenders, making sure of safety, and the best entries and exits.
