Good, budget boat to explore Raja Ampat
Very friendly and helpful staff, professional dive guides. Boat is rather small with external toilets and for these reasons functionality is limited. Unlike the other liveaboards dive deck is in the front and kitchen at the stern. Food reasonable, asian style, spicy. Good choice if you look for budget solutions.

Simply Awesome
Just finished my second Raja Ampat trip with Mikumba. This trip also southward to Misool area. Unbelievable!!! Again we had a great group of fun people! On the superluxurious liveaboards you often find a different type of personalities...if I may put this nicely:) On Mikumba's ship Ratu Laut there is everthing you need. Cosy cabins with a/c...warm showers...great food(Thanks again chef). Staff knows exactly where to take you diving. The are very experienced. Thanks to Big Boss Fred, UK Max, boyband Hugo, Hery (best capt ever), funny curly Erik...the rest of the crew and especially dive guide Fareez. Can't wait to join again next year on Mikumba's new ship!
