The Tambora offers an unparalleled liveaboard experience, immersing you in the heart of Indonesia’s most iconic diving destinations. Built in 2009 with the discerning diver in mind, this 42-meter traditional Phinisi yacht combines the elegance of Indonesian craftsmanship with the functionality required for world-class diving adventures.

Imagine waking up each day surrounded by Indonesia’s stunning seascapes, ready to explore some of the most biodiverse marine environments on the planet. The Tambora’s itineraries span across top-tier locations such as Raja Ampat, the Banda Sea, and Komodo National Park, promising encounters with vibrant coral reefs, elusive pelagics, and fascinating macro life.

The Tambora caters to a small number of guests, ensuring personalized service and a more intimate experience. With spacious cabins, modern amenities, and a knowledgeable crew, every aspect of your journey is tailored to make your dive vacation both comfortable and unforgettable.

Non-divers aren’t left out on the Tambora. You can lounge around on the sun deck, read books, watch movies and series from the video library, go on land excursions and (occasionally) snorkel where the dive site permits it.

Wonderful 11 days aboard Tambora. You couldn’t ask for a better team of crews, they are very attentive and super friendly. The diving was excellent and they have the best dhingy boats - spacious and comfy. The food was excellent and offers great varieties of Western and local food. Highly recommended and I already plan to book my next trip with them!
