Tiare Cruise

Generally, there’s 4 routes available:

• Komodo South & North (Labuan Bajo – Labuan Bajo): A fantastic, all encompassing trip, in which guests discover the south, central and northern regions of Komodo National Park over a whopping 12 days. This option is perfect for truly delving into komodo national park and discovering all that it has to offer.
  
  
• North & South Komodo (Labuan Bajo – Bali): In this option you also explore the north, central and south regions of Komodo but over just 8 days, more convenient for some. Plus, you finish or start at Bali which can make your overall Indonesia itinerary easier to plan!
  
  
• Komodo North (Labuan Bajo – Labuan Bajo): With this choice, the diving focus is mainly around the northern region of Komodo; which is well known for having the most dramatic underwater scenery of the entire park and many large pelagics including manta rays, reef sharks and turtles! This option lasts 6 – 7 days.
  
  
• Eastern Flores & Komodo (Maumere – Labuan Bajo) – Discover a variety of dive sites, starting along eastern Flores as you travel west, into Komodo National Park over 12 days..or vica versa, if you select the “Komodo & Maumere” trip, which is very similar but in reverse order and only 10 days. Either of these are a great option for anyone wanting to discover not only the Komodo, but also what lies beyond in the waters around Flores.
  
  

Additional activities on every trip include welcome cocktails, a beach bbq, kayaking, snorkelling, stand up paddle boarding, massage services and land excursions and usually a trek to witness the komodo dragons up close!

For maximum convenience, each diver gets their own personal diving station with personal storage, plus access to hot showers on the dive deck. You’ll also get issued an “enos” beacon for added safety precautions

There’s a dedicated camera room for underwater photographers and this is comprised of multiple charging stations and camera benches. 

Double, twin and triple cabin options are available and all feature ensuite bathrooms, complimentary toiletries and fresh drinking water. 

These cabins have a very nice wooden interior, although they do only have porthole views, which can leave a little to be desired, when you think of liveaboards like Coralia and Gaia Love, which both have private balconies. 

Then again, most of your time will hopefully not be spent cooped up in your cabin!

With a drink in hand, guests can unwind on the spacious sundeck or the partially shaded “bow lounge”, which is outfitted with comfortable furniture and offers superb views. 

There’s also an air conditioned indoor lounge with an ice machine, coffee machine, herbal tea station, juice extractor, drinks fridge and even a red and white wine cellar as well a free internet and video & audio entertainment with a large plasma tv. 

Meals are freshly prepared and consist of a wide variety of local gourmet cuisine and international dishes. 

Tiare cruise really does have it all when it comes to amenities, extra activities and varied trips. It’d be nice if some of the cabins had better ocean views, but this is the soul area in which this liveaboard is lacking. In all other areas Tiare; and her spectacular crew excel.
