Quick Answer

Most guests complete the whole process in under 24 hours, and same-week bookings are possible when cabins are open.

No forms that disappear into an inbox, no waiting days for a quote.
You talk to a real person, you get real availability, and your cabin is locked the moment your deposit lands.
We place a hold on your cabin before any money changes hands.
All payments go to the company account named on your invoice — we will never ask you to pay a personal account.

Step by Step

The Five Steps

Step 1

Choose Your Trip

Three main formats: a day trip from Labuan Bajo from USD 90 per person; a 3D2N shared liveaboard from USD 215 per person, the most popular format; or a private charter such as Riley (USD 3,950–4,150) or Catnazse (USD 6,250–9,000). If you want to sail all the way from Bali, the 4D3N crossing on Lady Grace starts at IDR 22.5 million per cabin.

Step 2

Message Us on WhatsApp

Send a message to +62 811-3823-875 with four things: your preferred travel dates (or a range), the number of guests and whether any are children, your trip style, and a rough budget per person. We reply with live availability, cabin photos, the exact itinerary, and a total price with nothing hidden.

Step 3

We Hold Your Cabin

When you say yes, we place a hold on your cabin or charter immediately — before any money changes hands. A hold typically lasts 24 to 72 hours depending on the season and the vessel, and it means the operator cannot sell that space to anyone else while you arrange payment.

Step 4

Pay a 50% Deposit to Confirm

Your booking becomes official when we receive a 50% deposit. We accept international bank transfer in USD, Indonesian bank transfer in IDR, credit or debit card via secure payment link (a gateway fee of around 3% applies, stated upfront), and Wise or similar transfer services. Split payments among your group are fine.

Step 5

Settle the Balance and Receive Your E-Ticket

The remaining 50% is due 14 days before departure (H-14), and we send a reminder before it falls due. Once it clears we issue your e-ticket by WhatsApp and email: boarding details, day-by-day itinerary and packing list, park fee and ranger arrangements, and emergency contacts. Show the e-ticket on your phone at boarding — nothing needs printing.

All payments go to the company account named on your invoice — we will never ask you to pay a personal account, and we recommend you treat that as a red flag anywhere in Indonesia.

Weather Policy

What Happens If the Weather Turns?

Komodo sailing conditions are generally excellent from April to November, but the sea always has the final word. Here is our weather policy, plainly stated.

Safety decisions are never negotiable, and no reputable operator in Labuan Bajo will sail against a port closure — be wary of any that say they will.

  • If the harbormaster closes the port or the captain judges conditions unsafe, your trip is rescheduled to the next available departure at no cost, or moved to alternative dates that suit you.
  • If rescheduling is impossible — for example, you are flying home — we work out a fair resolution, which can include a credit toward a future trip or a refund of unused services, handled case by case and in writing.
  • Itinerary adjustments at sea (swapping the order of stops, sheltering a route) are made by the captain for safety and do not constitute a cancellation. In practice this is rare in dry season and almost never costs you a highlight.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the whole booking take?
Most guests complete the whole process in under 24 hours, and same-week bookings are possible when cabins are open. The cabin hold itself typically lasts 24 to 72 hours depending on the season and the vessel.
Can I hold a cabin before paying?
Yes. When you tell us which boat and dates you want, we place a hold immediately — before any money changes hands. The hold gives you breathing room to book flights, check with your travel partner, or sleep on it, without losing the cabin. If it is about to expire and you need more time, tell us and we extend where the operator allows it.
What payment methods do you accept?
International bank transfer in USD (transfers typically arrive in 1–3 business days), Indonesian bank transfer in IDR, credit or debit card via secure payment link with Visa and Mastercard accepted (a gateway fee of around 3% applies and is stated upfront), and Wise or similar low-fee transfer services.
Do I need to print anything?
No. Your e-ticket and final trip documents arrive by WhatsApp and email. Show the e-ticket on your phone at boarding.
What if the weather cancels my departure?
If the harbormaster closes the port or the captain judges conditions unsafe, your trip is rescheduled to the next available departure at no cost, or moved to alternative dates. If rescheduling is impossible, we work out a fair resolution in writing, which can include a credit toward a future trip or a refund of unused services.
