How to book a Komodo liveaboard

From choosing a boat to boarding: what you do, what we do and when you pay.

In three steps

Choose your boat and dates

Compare boats, cabins and prices. The price calendar on each boat shows what is free, day by day.

Reserve your cabin

Pick a cabin and enter your details. The cabin is held for you and your invoice is emailed at once.

Pay and set sail

Pay online following your invoice. The operator confirms your trip and sends the details before departure.

Booking a sharing trip

Choose a boat and a departure on its page.
Select your cabins. They are held for you while you fill in your details.
Enter your details and choose how much to pay now and how to pay. You agree to the terms and policies at this step.
Your invoice is sent to you straight away by email, WhatsApp, or both.

Booking a private charter

Open the boat page and choose the trip type and your dates. The price appears straight away.
Send your request with your WhatsApp number. No payment is taken when you send it.
The operator confirms availability within 24 hours and sends the next steps.

Payment

50% deposit within 3 days (72 hours) after the invoice is received.
50% balance at least 60 days before the trip.
If you book less than 60 days before departure, you pay 100% at once.

Your reservation is confirmed when we receive the deposit. If it does not arrive in time, the cabins are released to other guests. If you have a problem with payment and need more time, tell us. Read the full Payment Policy.

Changes and cancellation

You can reschedule up to 65 days before your trip (sharing trips). A cancellation 60 days or more before departure gets a 40% refund of what you paid, and from 59 days to departure there is no refund. If the boat cannot sail because of an emergency, force majeure, bad weather or government rules, you can reschedule or take a 70% refund. The Terms & Conditions apply to sharing trips and private charters. See the Cancellation Policy and the Terms & Conditions.

Before you sail

Arrive in Labuan Bajo (or Lombok, depending on your trip) the day before, so a late flight does not make you miss the boat.
Check the boat page for what is included, and see the park fees that are added to your invoice.
Carry travel or dive insurance, because it is not included.
Tell us about food allergies or special occasions when you book.
