Labuan Bajo is the gateway to Komodo National Park and the base for every trip we run. On a shared trip you join a small group, pay only for your own seat or bed, and sail with a local guide who knows the park.

Choose a single day by speedboat, or a sailing trip of two or three days with an air-conditioned cabin. Shared and private cabins are available on most boats.

Open trips now include a guaranteed single bed option for solo travellers and a superior-boat departure with a dragon guarantee.

Why guests book Komodo with Arah Pesona

  • Pay on arrival, no deposit. The only Komodo trip operator that lets you reserve eligible trips with zero deposit and pay when you arrive in Labuan Bajo. No transfer to a stranger before you have met us.
  • Owned by a Komodo Island native, not a reseller. Arah Pesona is run directly by Akbar, born and raised on Komodo Island. You deal with the owner and his own team, not a reseller in another city who passes your booking on.
  • See a Komodo dragon or get a full refund. Our local guides know where the dragons are in every season. If you join one of our Komodo trips and do not see a dragon, we refund your trip in full. The terms are confirmed in writing when you book.
  • A real office in Labuan Bajo. Kampung Air, Jl. Soekarno Hatta, Labuan Bajo. Walk in before you book, meet the team, see the boat photos and pay at the desk if you prefer. We are a registered local company, not a WhatsApp number only.
  • The boat you book is the boat you sail. Every sailing trip is confirmed by boat name and cabin type in writing before you pay. We never downgrade a confirmed cabin or swap you onto a different boat.
  • Park fees and documentation included on most trips. National park tickets, ranger, snorkelling gear and drone or GoPro documentation are included on most packages. The price you are quoted is the price you pay, with no cash surprises on board.
  • 4.9 from 596 Google reviews, 4.8 on Tripadvisor. More than 10,000 guests welcomed, including corporate groups and families. Read the reviews on Google Maps before you decide; we did not write them.
  • Pay however suits you. Card through a secure Xendit link, bank transfer, Wise, PayPal, QRIS or cash at the office. A local team member answers on WhatsApp every day, in English and Indonesian.

Komodo dragon guarantee

See a Komodo dragon, or we refund you

★★★★★
An unforgettable experience that I'll always cherish!

From the very beginning, the admin team was incredibly patient with all my random questions since it was my first time joining an open trip. They were super helpful, explained everything clearly, and made the booking process so easy and hassle-free.

It was truly a wonderful journey with Arah Pesona. We couldn't stop feeling grateful from the very beginning — starting with the special discount promo we received during booking, and then getting a complimentary room upgrade when we arrived on the boat.

The itinerary was perfectly arranged, allowing us to experience the beauty of nature in a more peaceful atmosphere without overwhelming crowds. Because of that, we were able to fully enjoy every destination along the trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an open trip?

An open trip is a shared departure. You join other travellers on the same boat and itinerary, which keeps the cost per person lower than a private charter.

Can solo travellers join?

Yes. Shared cabins and dorm beds are sold per person, so solo travellers are welcome.

How do I book and pay?

Send your request on WhatsApp or by email to arahpesonaindo@gmail.com. Our team confirms availability, your price and the payment terms for that trip in writing. On eligible trips you can pay on arrival at our office in Labuan Bajo; some trips need a deposit, which we tell you before you reserve.

Can I pay on arrival in Labuan Bajo?

Pay-on-arrival options are available for selected trips, subject to availability and booking conditions. Some trips require an advance deposit to confirm your reservation. Our local team explains the payment options before you book. You can pay by credit or debit card through a secure Xendit payment link, by bank transfer, Wise, PayPal, or cash at our office.
