Moana Liveaboard Information
Moana combines the traditional and the modern to give you an unforgettable cruise through the islands of Indonesia. Trips run in the Komodo National Park departing from Labuan Bajo (Flores Island). The most popular are the short 4 or 5 night trips which run from Flores. The good price makes them ideal for divers who want to dive Komodo but have limited time. All trips all include a “walk with the dragons” – a chance to see Komodo dragons.
The boat is also ideal for charters, if you have a group of divers or you can also charter for just cruising and snorkeling in Komodo and the surrounding area.
There are 5 cabins on Moana, all below decks – three double bed, and two twin bed. The maximum capacity is 12, but she can take only 10 divers maximum. All cabins are en suite. Moana is built from teak and ironwood, which lends a warm and comfortable air to the boat.
The upper deck offers a huge amount of space. There is an air-conditioned indoor salon and a lot of deck area to relax. On deck you find a big spacious dining table with romantic indirect lighting. For outdoor lovers the boat offers blankets to sleep on deck watching the stars.
Moana sources vegetables and fruits from organic farmers from the hills around Labuan Bajo, fresh fish from the local market. Meat and oven fresh bread is flown in from Bali every week. All best quality and guaranteed free from MSG and other Asian flavor enhancers!
A day on board starts with a healthy breakfast before diving. Fresh fruits according to the season (papaya, mango, pineapple, melon), cornflakes, oats, local honey and more is waiting for the early birds. After the first dive, the “big breakfast” will be prepared. This may include omelets, pancakes, breakfast sausages, ham and bacon as well as fresh farmers bread and toast. Buffet style – all you can eat!
Lunch and Dinner varies from Western, Indonesian, International and Asian specialties as the cruise goes on. This good mix of Asian and Western food caters for all tastes. 2 courses for lunch and 3 courses for dinner (soup/salad, main, dessert) are served. The portions are suitable for hungry divers!
