Moana combines the traditional and the modern to give you an unforgettable cruise through the islands of Indonesia. Aside from the scheduled dive trips between Bali and Komodo, ask us for charter prices to other locations such as Sulawesi.

Trips run from either Bali or Labuan Bajo (Flores). The most popular are the short 4 night trips which run from Flores. The price of 998 U$ makes them a good deal if you want to dive Komodo but have limited time. The one way nature of the longer 9 night trips means less cruising time than the majority of operators who run from and to Bali. The trips are dive and cruise trips rather than a pure dive cruise. You can expect about 3 dives per day and chances to get ashore. Longer trips all include a "walk with the dragons" - a chance to see Komodo dragons.

There are 5 cabins on Moana, all below decks - two double bed, two 3 bed and one family room with a double and 2 bunks. The maximum capacity is 14, but she can take only 10 divers maximum. All cabins are en suite. The upper deck has a huge amount of space. There is an indoor salon and a lot of deck area to relax. Moana is built from teak and ironwood, which lends a warm and comfortable air to the boat.
