Komodo and Taka Bonerate National Park Scuba Diving Liveaboard
Komodo and Taka Bonerate National Park Scuba Diving Liveaboard
9 Days • 26 May - 03 June 2026
Dive with Nomad Archipelago
A rare journey connecting the quiet charm of the Selayar Islands and Taka Bonerate Atoll with the wild drama of Komodo. From palm-lined shores and reef-fringed lagoons to traditional villages and rice terraces, this route follows a slow and varied rhythm—one that invites connection, curiosity, and moments of pure coastal stillness.
This voyage is tailored for the inquisitive and avid adventurer. We’ll leave behind the hustle and bustle of modern life to immerse ourselves in a world of quiet villages, aquamarine lagoons and the remote atolls of the Flores Sea.
From the dry and hilly islands of the Komodo National Park where the largest lizards on earth roam, we’ll sail north to the little-known islands separating Flores from
Sulawesi. This is the land of the Bajo, also referred to as “sea gypsies”, a sea-faring people whose way of life has little changed in the course of history, living in houses on stilts by the shore.
Then we’ll also visit Taka Bonerate National Park, part of the coral triangle, the richest underwater ecosystem in the world where snorkelling and diving will be an experience of a lifetime.
