Leisure and Diving Trips with Mona Lisa
Schedule Komodo 07 | Schedule Rajah Empat 07
Prices | Description and Photos | Deck Plan | Itinerary
Mona Lisa is a traditional wooden "phinisi" schooner. Built in 1996, she was completely refurbished in 2006 and is fitted with modern marine safety equipment. She is designed to comfortably accommodate 12 people in six teakwood cabins. Her black-sailed silhouette is a well-known sight in the area as she sails Komodo from April to October 2007 and Rajah Empat from October 2007 to January 2008.
The trips combine leisure sailing and diving in a way that makes Mona Lisa an ideal choice for divers travelling with non-divers; there is something for everyone. On-shore excursions are available at several locations in addition to the many excellent dive sites Mona Lisa visits. You will not be rushed either - Mona Lisa sets sails from Labuan Bajo in Flores for the Komodo trips and Sorong in Irian Jaya for the Rajah Empat area, which cuts out the time-consuming and potentially boring traversals from Bali and saves more of your precious time for cruising around the islands at a relaxed pace. To arrive at Labuan Bajo or Sorong, you will take a domestic flight from Bali.
