Explore the magical islands you will visit aboard Derya Liveaboard. Each stop offers a unique adventure from pink beaches to dragon encounters.
KELOR ISLAND
Ancient sailors called it "The Guardian." Dutch colonials built watchtowers on its crown. Local legend says it's a giant sea turtle turned to stone. A 20-minute climb rewards you with 360° views of dragon territories. The coral gardens below hide patrolling sea turtles in crystal shallows.
MANJERITE
Every sunset, tens of thousands of flying foxes launch from mangroves, creating a black river across orange skies. Ancient sea nomads believed these bats carried souls to the afterlife. Watch from your deck at 17:30. The sky will erupt. You'll forget to breathe.
PADAR ISLAND
Three crescent bays—turquoise, cobalt, jade—curve around dragon-spine ridges. Legend says a dragon princess died here protecting her brothers. Her body became the ridgeline. Her tears became three seas. The 30-minute climb is ruthless, but every explorer says: "I can die now."
PINK BEACH
One of only seven pink beaches on Earth. Microscopic red coral creates a rose-gold blush. Sailors once feared it was cursed by dragon blood. The reef drops from knee-deep to 50 meters—turtles, reef sharks, and octopi patrol waters so clear you'll think you're dreaming.
KOMODO ISLAND
Ground zero. The throne. Komodo dragons—largest lizards on Earth, unchanged for 4 million years. They sprint 20 km/h, kill with venom-laced bites. Trek with armed rangers. Watch them sun like kings. Feel evolution stare back. This isn't a zoo. It's their Kingdom
TAKA MAKASSAR
A sandbar that emerges at low tide, then disappears beneath waves. Sea nomads called it "Ghost Island"—a resting place for ocean spirits. Stand in the middle of the ocean with ankle-deep water. Snorkel where the island vanishes. Your private Maldives, but only for 2 hours.
MANTA POINT
A submerged pinnacle where currents collide, creating a cleaning station for manta rays with 7-meter wingspans. Divers call them "Royal Stingrays"—reincarnated ocean kings. The taboo: look, never touch. Watch them barrel-roll beneath you. Swimming with mantas IS your bucket list.
GILI LAWA
Twin islands—Lawa Darat and Lawa Laut—frame the golden highway between sky and sea. Ancient traders navigated by these peaks. At sunrise, watch the world ignite from savannah ridges. At sunset, the sky bleeds into three shades of fire. The 30-minute trek is steep, but the 360° view makes kings jealous.
SLABA ISLAND
Slaba rises like a fortress from deep blue—a volcanic dome crowned with savannah where white-bellied sea eagles hunt. Bajo fishermen call it "Pulau Rajawali" (Eagle Island), believing the birds are guardians of hidden treasures below. Dive the walls where currents deliver big fish, sharks, and swirling barracuda. Above: eagles. Below: an underwater avalanche of life.
SEBAYUR ISLAND
Sebayur guards one of Komodo's best-kept secrets: untouched coral gardens teeming with life. While others chase dragons, divers chase legends here—pygmy seahorses, ghost pipefishes, and macro critters hiding in soft coral forests. The bay is a natural aquarium. The hillside trek offers sunrise views without the Padar crowds.
KANAWA ISLAND
While crowds chase Pink Beach, explorers slip to Kanawa—pristine coral reefs, zero crowds. Fishermen once avoided it, believing the Sea Goddess protected these waters. The reef here is 80% live coral. Turtles nest on beaches. Blacktip sharks patrol shallows. This is the Komodo nobody talks about.
SABOLO ISLAND (RANGKO CAVE)
Hidden in Sabolo's limestone cliffs lies Rangko Cave—a saltwater cavern illuminated by a ceiling skylight. Sunbeams pierce the darkness, turning water neon blue. Local legend says bathing here grants courage to face dragons. Swim through the entrance tunnel. Surface inside the cathedral. Float in liquid sapphire while light dances on ancient rock.
BIDADARI ISLAND
Bidadari" means angel in Indonesian. One glance explains why. Powdery white sand. Turquoise shallows. Zero crowds. Fishermen say angels rest here between monsoons, leaving footprints in the sand that waves erase by dawn. Snorkel the fringing reef where baby blacktips patrol. This is your castaway fantasy—pristine, peaceful, perfect.

Sailing the Komodo waters aboard Derya Liveaboard felt like stepping into a carefully composed narrative of sea, fire, and wind. Our photography expedition focused on the interplay of light at Taka Makassar and the ochre cliffs of Rinca Island—both yielded extraordinary frames. The Master Suite’s teak finishes and quiet positioning amidships made post-dive editing a meditative pleasure. The crew anticipated needs without intrusion, though the satellite internet was barely functional—manageable, given we were there to disconnect. What stood out was the precision of dive briefings; the captain timed our arrival at Castle Rock to the minute, catching the current at its peak for optimal drift. One evening, anchored off Wainilu, the sky turned violet and the staff arranged a private beachside dinner with local spiced tuna tartare. I’d have welcomed another night there—time dilates in these parts. Derya doesn’t shout luxury; it lives it quietly, with competence.

Lần đầu tiên trải nghiệm một phinisi ở đẳng cấp vip như Derya Liveaboard, mình thực sự ấn tượng với sự tinh tế trong thiết kế nội thất – gỗ trầm sáng, đường nét thủ công rất mượt, đặc biệt là Master Suite hướng biển. Chúng tôi đi kỳ trăng mật 4 ngày quanh vịnh Tây của Komodo, dừng ở Manta Point và Gili Lawa. Tại Manta Point, snorkeling giữa hàng chục con cá đuôi gai lớn thật sự là một highlight – cảm giác như đang trôi giữa vũ trụ sống động. Gili Lawa thì cho một drone shot hoàn hảo: bãi cát trắng cong hình lưỡi liềm, nước xanh ngọc bích. Derya có đội ngũ crew rất nhẹ nhàng, biết cách giữ khoảng cách nhưng lúc nào cũng sẵn sàng – bữa tối kiểu fusion trên boong với nến và rượu vang được setup rất riêng tư. Mình đánh giá cao sự cân bằng giữa luxury và trải nghiệm tự nhiên, không quá phô. Duy nhất là wifi hơi chập chờn – không thành vấn đề vì đi biển thì nên 'mất tích' chút mới đúng chất, nhưng nếu ai cần kết nối liên tục thì nên chuẩn bị trước. Thực đơn tươi, nhiều lựa chọn Âu-Á, đặc biệt là món cá tuyết nướng với lemongrass. Chỉ ước gì hành trình dài thêm một đêm – 4 ngày vừa quen đã phải rời thuyền.

임신 4개월 차, 남편과 Derya Liveaboard에서 babymoon을 보냈어요. Kanawa Island의 얕은 해변에서 스노클링을 했고, 승무원이 항상 제 뒤를 따라와 안전을 확인해줘서 든든했어요. Master Suite는 넓고 환기 잘 되는 구조라 답답함 없이 지낼 수 있었고, 침대 높이도 일어날 때 편안했어요. 조식에 신선한 코코넛워터와 바나나가 매일 제공되어 기분이 좋았고, 승무원이 제 입맛에 맞춰 요리도 조정해줬어요. 다만, 와이파이가 약해 가족과의 영상 통화가 자주 끊겼어요. Taka Makassar의 다이빙은 보는 것으로 만족했고, 드론으로 찍은 우리 모습은 'precious memory'가 되었어요. 일정이 1박 더 길었다면 더욱 여유로웠을 텐데 아쉬웠어요. 그래도 자연과의 연결감이 이 trip의 가장 큰 선물이었어요.

作为摄影爱好者，我为Derya Liveaboard专门规划了这次photography expedition。船体设计保留传统phinisi线条，但内部是现代luxury配置。我们在Wainilu拍摄了火烈鸟群飞的场景，清晨光线柔和，配合drone shot，效果震撼。船长很配合我们的时间表，甚至临时调整了靠岸顺序，以便捕捉黄金时刻。Master Suite的观景窗正对海面，我半夜爬起来拍星空延时，银河清晰可见。饮食方面，虽然菜单偏西式，但厨师愿意为我们准备中式早餐，这点很加分。唯一建议是船上可增加防水设备存放柜，海边换镜片略显不便。整体itinerary紧凑而不仓促，Long Beach的日落构图尤其惊艳。

As a longtime sailor, I notice the details—the way lines are coiled, how the helm responds, whether the galley smells of mildew or spice. Derya Liveaboard excels in all. We were there for a dive-focused trip, and the boat’s layout made repetitive entries efficient. Three dives at Manta Point yielded sightings each time, and the drift along Nusa Kode’s eastern ridge was among the most dynamic I’ve done. The Standard Cabin was compact but brilliantly utilised—USB ports, excellent reading lights, a ventilation system that kept humidity at bay. The captain rerouted us briefly due to wind shifts near Loh Liang, but the alternative cove was just as beautiful. One evening, anchored off Padar, the crew hosted a sundowner on a nearby sandbar—simple, elegant, no fanfare. The only critique? The dive gear could use newer fins. But that’s minor. This is a vessel that respects both sea and guest.

Derya Liveaboard ile geçirdiğimiz 4 günlük yolculuk, tam anlamıyla bir reset oldu. Pink Beach’ten güneşin doğuşunu izlemek ve ardından Manta Point’te yüzmesi, doğayla iç içe olmanın ne demek olduğunu hatırlattı. Master Suite oldukça konforluydu; özellikle sabahları balkonda kahve içerek denizi izlemek ayrı bir keyifti. Crew, samimi ve dikkatliydi ama bazen yemekler biraz daha sıcak servis edilebilirdi. Seyahatimiz bir friends getaway olarak planlanmıştı ve tam da beklediğimiz gibi oldu: stres yok, her yerde drone shot çekimleri, bol bol dalış ve bol gülüşmeler. Batu Bolong’daki vahşi yaşam izlenimi ise büyüleyiciydi. Wifi biraz zayıftı, ama bu da bizi daha çok an’a odaklanmaya zorladı. İtinerary’de Nusa Kode’e biraz daha fazla zaman ayrılabilirdi. Yine de, çok özel bir experience oldu.

I joined Derya Liveaboard with a seasoned dive group from Sydney, all of us chasing strong currents and pelagics. The boat’s stability made repetitive entries seamless, especially at Taka Makassar where the thermocline dropped sharply—we saw hammerheads at 38 meters, clean and fast. The dive deck is well laid out, with individual gear lockers and rinse tanks that don’t feel like an afterthought. Cabins are compact but intelligent in layout; I had the Master Suite and appreciated the sound insulation from the engine room. What surprised me was the culinary consistency—three full meals a day, all with regional ingredients, even on day three when we were far from resupply. One evening, we debated whether the turmeric-spiced snapper was better than the Balinese-style tuna. No clear winner. Only a minor hiccup: our itinerary missed Nusa Kode due to a sudden swell, rerouted to a sheltered cove near Komodo village. Still exceptional.

Sebagai peserta wellness retreat, Derya Liveaboard memberi balance yang perfect antara solitude dan connection. Yoga session di deck pagi hari — especially di Wainilu, dengan suara ombak pelan — sangat grounding. Kapalnya tidak terlalu besar, tapi layout-nya smart, jadi feel private terus. Aku di Standard Cabin, tapi tetap dapat natural light dan ventilation yang bagus. Makanan plant-based-nya well-prepared, dan kru sempat adjust menu karena ada gluten sensitivity. Snorkeling di Manjarite cukup deep, jadi bagus buat breathwork practice. Cuma, toilet flushing agak temperamental — kecil sih, tapi noticeable. Tapi overall, the energy on board sangat aligned dengan healing intent kita. Derya bukan sekadar transport, tapi bagian dari therapeutic journey.

팀 리더들과의 corporate retreat으로 Derya Liveaboard를 선택했어요. 4명이서 Master Suite와 Standard Cabin 두 개를 사용했는데, 객실 간 음향 차단이 잘 되어 있어 프라이버시가 유지되었어요. 첫날은 Sebayur Island에서 팀 빌딩 게임을 했고, 저녁엔 선상에서 BBQ 디너를 즐겼어요. 음식의 질이 매우 높았고, 특히 그릴드 제철 해산물의 간이 딱 맞았어요. Manta Point에서는 다 함께 스노클링을 했고, 자연의 위대함 앞에서 모두가 조용해지는 순간이 인상적이었어요. 다만, 일부 팀원이 모닝 sickness을 호소했는데, 선체의 움직임이 다소 느껴질 수 있다는 점은 참고해야 해요. 일정 중 Castle Rock에서의 포토 세션은 드론 샷으로 기록되었고, 회사 뉴스레터에 사용하기로 했어요. 일정이 짧아 아쉬웠고, 다음엔 6박 이상으로 계획 중입니다. 전체적으로 itinerary는 자연과 휴식의 밸런스가 잘 잡혀 있었어요.
