May/June to September/October offer a wide variety of itineraries on Indonesia liveaboards, often combining various different regions. These are the most popular time of year to dive Komodo and you can find many trips sailing the entire length of the National Park from north to south. Alor is also often visited during this time of year and can be done in combination with Komodo or the Banda Sea. Many Indonesia liveaboard operators choose to sail the Banda Sea around the months of September and October, which offer the best conditions for diving and topside. This is also the best time to see hammerhead sharks in the area! Interested in diving with sharks?

A small number of Indoneisa liveaboards stay in the Raja Ampat area during these months, visiting northern Raja Ampat and other "nearby" areas like Cenderawasih Bay, Banda Sea, and Forgotten Islands. Derawan a lesser-known but no less special scuba diving destination is another great area visited by a number of liveaboards in the summer months.
You can find a small number of Indonesia liveaboards that choose to stay in one area year-round, especially in Raja Ampat, Komodo, and Wakatobi. However, keep in mind that for some areas like Raja Ampat and Komodo, there will be months when you can't visit certain areas and the dive conditions may not be optimal. Don't hesitate to drop us a line if you have any questions about liveaboard options in a particular area or in a certain month!
