Based right next to the Komodo National Park, the 37 metre long KM Bidadari runs 7 night trips exclusively within the park itself. Fly from Bali and dive that afternoon at the start of your Komodo liveaboard cruise, departing from Labuan Bajo in Flores.

With a maximum of only 12 divers on board you can be assured plenty of personal service and diving in relatively small groups. You can choose from a range of twin or double cabins all with air conditioning and en-suite bathroom facilities.

Enjoy the splendour of Komodo from this popular and relaxed Phinisi sailing vessel, whose experienced crew and dive team know their way around the park and its many dive sites better than most. You can enjoy the full range of entertainment facilities offered including TV, DVD and music system or chill out on a sunbed on the sundeck while catching a few rays.

Whether as a liveaboard in Komodo, Raja Ampat or the Banda Islands, the fully air-conditioned Bidadari is a great option for singles, couples, or as a charter vessel for groups. And with its covered camera stations, this Indonesian liveaboard boat is a great choice for underwater photographers too. The schedule can usually be amended to fit in with your group's specific requirements. KM Bidadari visits Raja Ampat from October to March.
