How We Keep Our Liveaboard Trips Affordable

Introduction: Smarter Travel, Same Incredible Diving

Luxury isn’t the only way to explore Indonesia’s best dive sites.

At Liquid Adventures Indonesia, we believe incredible diving should be accessible, not overpriced. So we design our trips around value that matters — diving, food, and comfort — while removing unnecessary luxury expenses.

Result?
✔️ Lowest prices in Indonesia for trips of this quality
✔️ Expert Indonesian crew who know the reefs best
✔️ Personalized experiences with just 8 guests onboard

🌞 1️⃣ Solar Power = Lower Running Costs

Fuel is one of the biggest expenses in liveaboard operations — especially in remote areas like Raja Ampat.

Our solar systems allow us to:

  • Reduce generator use

  • Lower fuel consumption

  • Keep the boat quiet at night

  • Save costs that aren’t passed to guests

Eco-friendly ➝ budget-friendly.

🇮🇩 2️⃣ Local Crew, Local Knowledge

Our crew assisted and built our boats with their own hands — and have stayed with us ever since.

By investing in our Indonesian team:

  • There’s no need for foreign staff

  • Operational knowledge stays onboard

  • We support local communities directly

Expertise doesn’t require luxury.

📦 3️⃣ Fresh Local Ingredients (Not Imported Goods)

We don’t fly in fancy Western ingredients — we shop where the locals do:

  • Fish from Labuan Bajo fishermen

  • Spices from Raja Ampat markets

  • Tropical fruits & vegetables from Indonesia’s islands

The result is authentic food, better flavour, and lower cost.

🚯 5️⃣ We Focus on Experiences, Not “Luxury Add-Ons”

You’ll never pay for:

  • White-glove service

  • Butler-style cabin staff

  • Imported steak & champagne menus

  • Huge onboard spas or gyms

Instead, you get:

✔️ World-class dive sites
✔️ Comfortable cabins & great food
✔️ An adventurous family atmosphere

Exactly what divers actually care about.

🤝 6️⃣ Small Groups Improve Efficiency

With max 8 guests:

  • Food waste is reduced

  • Trip logistics are simpler

  • Dive groups are efficient

  • Fuel planning is precise

Small boats aren’t just more personal —
they’re smart business.
