Our trip with Samara Liveaboard was an absolute highlight of our time in Indonesia. The crew was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely committed to making sure everyone had an amazing experience. The snorkeling was phenomenal, with crystal-clear waters teeming with manta rays, turtles, colorful fish, and vibrant coral reefs.
The schedule was perfectly balanced, with 2–4 activities a day that included both water and land excursions. We loved the variety—snorkeling, hiking to scenic viewpoints, visiting remote beaches, and of course, the unforgettable Komodo dragon tour where we also spotted wild boar roaming the park.
The boat was beautiful with plenty of room to spread out on the decks with luxurious touches like hot water showers, flush toilets, continuous high speed wifi, endless cocktails and Bintang (you'll face a bar tab at the end, though!). A really nice touch were the solar panels that allowed us to operate without noisy generators--we could hear them on distant boats. Our shipmates were fun--max of 12 guests.
Meals on board were fresh, flavorful, and plentiful, and the whole experience felt relaxed yet well-organized. Samara Liveaboard struck the perfect balance between adventure and comfort. Highly recommended if you're exploring Flores and the Komodo Islands and want a luxury experience!
We would like to personally extend a warm welcome to you here at Samara. In addition, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions—whether about sailing with our luxury yacht or discovering the best way to experience Komodo Island. When we first began building Samara I and Samara II, we had little idea of the incredible journey that lay ahead.
When we first began building Samara I and Samara II, we had little idea of the incredible journey that lay ahead. It was a wild and romantic time, yet also filled with challenges. During this period, our team lived and worked on a remote beach surrounded by jungle. At the same time, they handled the countless technical aspects of traditional boatbuilding.
