Starting prices for sharing trips, private charters and diving charters, and what changes the price.
The prices below are read from our live rates, so they match the boat pages. They are starting points: the price you pay depends on the boat, the cabin, the number of days and the season.
These are starting prices. The price of a trip depends on the boat, the cabin, the trip length and the season, and is shown on each boat page before you book. The park fee is added to your invoice.
On a sharing trip you share the boat with other guests on a scheduled departure and pay per person. On a private charter you rent the whole boat and crew and pay one price per boat, which is often the better value for a group or a family. A diving charter is a private charter planned around dives.
On most boats the price includes your cabin, meals three times a day, drinking water, coffee and tea, snorkelling equipment, a guide, the shore excursions and the transfer between the airport or hotel and the boat. Flights, hotels in Labuan Bajo, travel or dive insurance, alcoholic drinks, personal expenses, and tips for the crew and guide are paid separately. The Komodo National Park entrance fee is added to your invoice. The exact lists are on each boat page. See Komodo National Park fees.
For a sharing trip you pay a 50% deposit within 3 days (72 hours) and the balance at least 60 days before the trip. If you book less than 60 days before departure, the full amount is paid at once. Read the Payment Policy and the Cancellation Policy.
