1. Sharing trip or private charter?
Choose a sharing trip if you travel alone, as a couple or in a small group and want a set date with a lower price per person. Choose a private charter if you want the whole boat, your own dates and your own route, for a family, friends or a special occasion.
2. How many days?
Three days and two nights is the most common length, and enough for the main stops. Longer trips add time at each stop and more remote places. Boats that sail between Lombok and Labuan Bajo take 4 days and 3 nights, and on some boats the way back takes 5 days and 4 nights.
3. Which cabin?
On a sharing trip the cabin is the main price difference. Look at the bed type, the bathroom, air conditioning and how many people the cabin sleeps. Each boat page lists its cabins with photos and live availability.
4. Will you dive?
Snorkelling and island walks are included on the boats. If you want to dive, pick a diving charter and tell us your certification level and number of dives.
5. What is your budget?
Compare starting prices on the price page, remembering that the park fee is added to your invoice (see park fees).
