New Mikumba hasn’t forgotten that there is also a lot going on in the rest of the world, in particular, with Covid-19.
Our dive centre in Labuan Bajo has delayed it’s re-opening, until we know that it is safe again for our guests to travel.
We are ensuring that our staff are safe, and still have money to feed themselves and their families – in difficult times, it’s important to New Mikumba to look after our loyal staff, and look ahead to the future, so that we are all ready to give you the best service we can provide you.
We are offering to anyone who has made direct bookings for this upcoming season, that we are very happy to postpone your trips, until a date when you can travel – we are very flexible with this. To anyone else who would like to potentially book a trip, we offer the same, your deposits are flexible, as are the trip dates.
New Mikumba would like to offer to you, our wonderful guests, all our best wishes to you and your loved ones, and hope you stay safe at this time, and we are thinking of you all.

Following on from the video we showed you last week of the history of Phinisi boats, we're going to tell you a little bit more about our beautiful new boat Jelajahi Laut while she gets finished ⛵
This was her near the beginning - the keel - the backbone, and the hull which is the watertight body, are made from "kayu besi" and "kayu biti" plus some "kayu ulin" which is ironwood. 🔨
The kayu ulin is used mainly instead of nails where no steel is used and is probably just about the hardest wood you can find in Indonesia. 💪
This ironwood comes mainly from Kalimantan, with some also coming from South Sulawesi 🗺️ and is so strong, the 20x20 beams take around 5 mins to cut, needing extra chains and drills! ⛓️
