Tambora is a luxury liveaboard with 8 cabins for 16 people sailing to Raja Ampat between December and April.
Raja Ampat Liveaboard II
The Raja Ampat Liveaboard II Liveaboard was part of the Aggressor Adventures fleet until 2023. For the 2023 – 2024 season, the boat has now reverted to its original name of Tambora, a well-regarded liveaboard that operated in Indonesia for several years before joining the Aggressor family. (See my review of the Tambora from 2010 and the EZ Dive magazine article I wrote about our Kalimantan liveaboard).
There is still the original Raja Ampat Aggressor in the Aggressor fleet, which was originally known as the Ocean Rover.
Each of its eight cabins on Tambora has plenty of space, individual air-conditional controls and are furnished with beds that compliment the ship’s movement to ensure your comfort. The 42m long vessel has plenty of space for 16 guests. The Tambora has an accompanying tender from which dives are made. This ensures you get as close to the drop off point in comfort and are safely collected at the end of your dive.
There’s a large salon with flat screen TV and home cinema system as well as three decks with comfortable furnishings where you can relax and take in the view. Five meals are served each day; flavours include Indonesian and Japanese as well as many international delights. Tea, coffee, beer, soft drinks, and water are included in the tariff; wine and spirits are available at an additional cost.
