Naga Biru Expeditions

Komodo, Alor and the volcanic islands west to Bali, on Naga Biru’s longer trips.

Naga Biru is a 35 m phinisi built in 2024. Most of the year she runs dive trips of five to seven nights in Komodo National Park. A few times a year she leaves those routes for longer expeditions: crossings to Alor and to Bali, and in 2027 a trip built around manta rays with Manta Expeditions, a company affiliated with the Manta Trust.
