A Liveaboard for Non-Divers

Think liveaboards are only for scuba divers? Think again. Komodo's crystal-clear waters, vibrant reefs, and incredible marine life are just as spectacular from the surface. Aboard Moana, snorkelers enjoy the same world-class locations, personal attention, and all-inclusive comfort — no certification needed, no experience required.

Komodo Liveaboard for Snorkelers

Perfect for Non-Divers

You don't need a diving certification to experience the magic of Komodo from a liveaboard. In fact, many of Komodo's most incredible encounters — manta rays, turtles, colourful reefs — happen right at the surface.

No Limits

Same Marine Life, No Tank

Manta rays glide just below the surface. Sea turtles come up to breathe. Schools of fish swirl around shallow reefs. Some of Komodo's most unforgettable moments happen in the top 3 metres of water — exactly where snorkelers are.

Flexibility

Snorkel at Your Own Pace

While divers head deeper, you'll explore vibrant shallow reefs with a dedicated guide. Want to snorkel for 20 minutes or 2 hours? Skip a session and read on deck? It's your holiday — we adapt to you, not the other way around.

Beyond Water

Islands, Beaches & Dragons

Between snorkel sessions, explore hidden beaches, hike to stunning viewpoints, or come face-to-face with Komodo dragons on Rinca Island. A liveaboard trip is so much more than what's underwater.

"A dream experience in Komodo with an incredibly friendly and competent crew and unforgettable snorkeling and wildlife encounters."

What Non-Divers Do All Day

Your Day as a Snorkeler

One of the most common questions we get: "Is a liveaboard worth it if I don't dive?" Absolutely. Here's what a typical day looks like for snorkelers aboard Moana.

A Snorkeler's Day Aboard Moana

06:30Wake up to coffee, tea, and fresh fruit on the sundeck as the sun rises over the islands
07:00First snorkel session — the reef is at its calmest and the light is magical
08:30Full breakfast — eggs to order, pancakes, fresh juice, and more
10:00Second snorkel session or island exploration while divers head to a deeper site
12:00Lunch on deck — Indonesian specialties, salads, fresh fish
14:00Afternoon snorkel, beach walk, paddleboard, or simply relax on the sundeck
16:00Afternoon tea and snacks — the boat repositions to the next anchorage
17:30Sunset drinks on deck — the Komodo sunsets are legendary
19:00Dinner — a multi-course feast under the stars
21:00Stargazing from the upper deck — zero light pollution, infinite stars

More Than Snorkeling

Activities Beyond the Reef

A Komodo liveaboard trip is a complete experience. Between snorkel sessions, there's a whole world to explore above the surface — and we make sure you experience all of it.

Stand-up paddleboarding in Komodo

On the Water

Paddleboard & Kayak

Glide across turquoise bays on a stand-up paddleboard or explore mangrove coastlines by kayak. The water is warm, the scenery is stunning, and you'll often spot marine life from above — rays, turtles, even reef sharks.

Hiking and beach exploration in Komodo

On Land

Islands & Dragons

Walk pristine pink-sand beaches, hike to panoramic sunset viewpoints, and visit Rinca or Komodo Island to see the legendary dragons in the wild. These land excursions are highlights that every guest — diver or not — gets to enjoy.

Dining experience aboard Moana

On Board

Dine & Unwind

Between adventures, enjoy freshly prepared Indonesian-inspired cuisine, afternoon tea on deck, or simply curl up with a book in the shade. The all-inclusive format means everything is taken care of — just enjoy.

Where We Cruise & Snorkel

Komodo National Park

Komodo National Park lies one hour east of Bali by air. Its crystal-clear waters, thriving reefs, and dramatic island landscapes make it one of the world's finest snorkeling destinations.

Your Floating Home in Komodo

Liveaboard Moana

With only 10 guests on board, enjoy personal care and deep relaxation aboard our traditionally built, constantly maintained Komodo liveaboard — designed with great practicality in mind.

Moana's spacious deck

Deck

Relax

While divers are underwater, snorkelers have the deck to themselves — read, sunbathe, or sip a cold drink. When it's time to snorkel, the crew brings the tender right to the reef and helps you in and out of the water.

Cuisine

Delicious

Every meal is served on deck with views of the islands — Indonesian home cooking, grilled seafood, and fresh tropical fruit. Portions are generous, timing is relaxed, and the crew knows most guests come back for seconds.

Comfortable ensuite cabin on Moana

Cabin

Comfortable

Five private cabins, each with its own bathroom — because sharing with strangers isn't what a holiday should feel like. Beds are real mattresses (not bunks), and the cabins stay cool and quiet all night.

"You immediately feel at home on the Moana. Cozy cabins, attentive crew, amazing food, and a perfectly relaxed atmosphere."

— Alisha K. Google Reviews

Divers & Non-Divers Together

Perfect for Couples & Mixed Groups

Travelling with a diver but don't dive yourself? You're not alone — on most Moana trips, we have a mix of divers and non-divers, and everyone has an incredible time.

While your partner explores deeper reefs, you'll snorkel pristine shallows with a dedicated guide, explore islands, or relax on deck. You'll share the same stunning anchorages, the same delicious meals, and the same unforgettable sunsets — just experiencing Komodo from a different perspective.

Many of our snorkeling guests tell us their holiday was even more relaxing than their diving partner's — and they saw just as many mantas.
