Komodo dragon guarantee
See a Komodo dragon, or we refund you
In mating season Komodo dragons often hide, and many groups go home without seeing one. Our local guides know where to find them. If you join one of our Komodo trips and do not see a Komodo dragon, we refund you.
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.

Two-day trips often end by dropping guests at the harbour in the late afternoon. This one ends properly: after docking we take guests to dinner in Labuan Bajo at the restaurant they choose, seafood at Kampung Ujung, vegetarian, vegan, halal or gluten-free, and then drive them to their hotel.
Day one covers Kelor Island, the shallow reef at Manjarite and sunset with the flying foxes at Kalong, followed by dinner and a night on board. Day two starts at the Padar viewpoint at sunrise, then Pink Beach, Komodo Island with a ranger, Manta Point and the Taka Makassar sandbar.
The cabin type is guaranteed at booking and we never downgrade. The souvenir stop is optional, with no minimum purchase and no commission for us.

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.
