Ilike 9D8N

The Ilike 9D8N Komodo Island to Bima liveaboard promises an amazing trip across some of Indonesia’s most stunning marine environments. Beginning in Labuan Bajo, the entrance to Komodo National Park, this journey winds the famous Coral Triangle—a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The trip provides the ideal mix of vivid marine life, striking underwater scenery, and meetings with amazing species such manta rays, schooling fish, and even Komodo dragons. Highlights include the nutrient-dense seas of Nusa Kode, the vibrant coral gardens of Manta Alley, and the volcanic sands of Sangeang Island—which offer a distinctive diving experience.

Divers are treated to outstanding muck diving, a treasure mine for macro fans as the trip ends in Bima Bay. Comparable to the well-known Lembeh Strait, this dive site is a world-class one since the seas here are a refuge for uncommon species. Apart from the underwater beauties, the trip presents breathtaking scenery, interactions with native species, and cultural understanding of living on far-off islands. For both divers and environmentalists, this liveaboard is an amazing journey thanks to Ilike’s knowledgeable staff and meticulous attention to detail.
