Aliikai Voyage

Liveaboard in Indonesia

4.9 (4 reviews)

Aliikai Voyage is a 40-meter traditional Phinisi yacht refitted in 2020 by craftsmen in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi, accommodating 15 guests across 7 cabins on three decks. Unlike dedicated dive liveaboards, Aliikai combines 1–2 daily dives with snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, trekking, and cultural excursions across Raja Ampat, Komodo, Alor, and the Banda Sea. Diving, nitrox, and equipment are included. Rates starting from USD $525 per person per day (excl. 11% VAT).

Aliikai Voyage occupies a distinct position in the Indonesian liveaboard market — designed not as a pure dive platform but as a luxury expedition yacht where diving is one of several ways to engage with the archipelago. Refitted in 2020 and featured in the Financial Times, Harper's Bazaar, Travel + Leisure, and Prestige, the vessel has built a following among travelers seeking immersive island experiences alongside quality underwater access. Itineraries typically include one to two dives per day, with the remainder of each day shaped around snorkeling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, beach setups, trekking, birdwatching, and cultural visits to remote communities.

Seven cabins across three decks accommodate up to 15 guests. Two Owner's Cabins — the Fam Cabin on the main deck and the Kei Cabin on the upper deck — each feature a king-size bed and private terrace. Two Deluxe Ocean View Cabins on the upper deck offer queen beds with sea-view windows. Two Ocean View Cabins on the lower deck provide queen beds with portholes, and the Asmat bow cabin on the lower deck includes a convertible sofa for a third guest. All cabins have en-suite bathrooms and individual air conditioning. Common areas include an indoor air-conditioned lounge and dining room with wrap-around windows, a covered outdoor dining and lounge area, and an upper deck that converts from a morning yoga space to an open-air cinema after dark.

A crew of 14, including an expedition leader, guides guests through itineraries across Raja Ampat, Komodo National Park, Alor, and the Banda Sea. Diving is supported by a ventilated camera room, two tenders, nitrox, and full equipment rental — all included in the cabin rate, along with port fees, marine park fees, and fuel surcharges. The rate excludes Indonesian VAT of 11%.

Booking FAQ

What is the payment schedule for liveaboard bookings?

Booking is easy - a 50% deposit secures your spot immediately, with the remaining balance due 100 days before departure. If you're booking within 100 days of your trip, full payment is required to confirm your reservation. Popular routes book 6-12 months or even further, so we recommend securing your spot early.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept international bank transfers as well as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and JCB credit cards (processed securely through third-party payment processors). Most guests prefer bank transfers. Just note that transfers typically take 3-5 business days to process, so please plan accordingly if you're booking close to your departure date.

How does the booking process work?

It's simple and transparent. As authorized agents, we have direct access to operator booking systems—we place holds on available cabins instantly. Once the operator confirms your hold, we'll send you the booking total via email along with payment details based on your preferred method. After payment, your booking is confirmed and you can add guest details through your Coralbound account dashboard. We'll remind you before final payment is due, and you'll be cleared for boarding once the operator has all the details.

Can I book flights through Coralbound?

Absolutely—and this is where we truly stand apart. Our specialized travel partner knows which airlines and routes are most reliable and monitors your flights 24/7. If there's a delay or cancellation, they automatically rebook you—no stress, no missed departures. We're not just booking your liveaboard—we're making sure you actually get there. Simply check the flight coordination box at checkout and we'll handle the rest. Most of our guests choose this option for complete peace of mind.

Can you help with hotel bookings?

Yes! We arrange your pre- and post-trip accommodations for a seamless transition. Our team knows the best hotels near departure ports and coordinates timing with your flights and boat schedule—it's one less thing to worry about. Add hotels during checkout or contact us for recommendations.

Can I extend my trip with other experiences?

Yes! Unlike other liveaboard booking platforms, Coralbound offers curated extension packages through our travel agency partner. Add multi-day cultural or adventure experiences, or extend your stay at world-class diving resorts or luxury beach properties anywhere in Indonesia—not just at your liveaboard destination. Want to combine your liveaboard with a week at a resort in Raja Ampat, explore Bali's temples, or see the dragons in Komodo? If you let us arrange your domestic flights, we can create a seamless itinerary connecting multiple destinations. It's the complete vacation planning you won't find on other liveaboard platforms.
