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.

Why choose this tour

Most three-day Komodo trips end at the harbour around noon on the last day. This one keeps going. After docking, guests continue by car and local boat to Rangko Cave, where sunlight turns a saltwater pool bright turquoise, then to Waecicu Beach and to Sylvia Hill for the last sunset of the trip. Drop-off at the hotel is around 18:30.

At sea the route covers Kelor, Manjarite and Kalong Island on day one; Padar at sunrise, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Manta Point and Taka Makassar on day two; and green turtles at Siaba on day three.

The trip is planned with families in mind. Children get their own life jackets, snorkel stops include shallow reefs, and at Padar there is a lower viewpoint for anyone not doing the full climb. At Manta Point the guide enters the water first and a float line helps less confident swimmers.
