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.
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.
Many Komodo day trips collect the park fee and tips in cash at the pier. On this tour everything is paid in advance, so guests arrive with nothing to count out and nothing extra to pay.
The route covers six stops by fast speedboat: the Padar viewpoint, Pink Beach, Komodo Island with a licensed ranger, the Taka Makassar sandbar, Manta Point at the best tide window, and the calm cove of Siaba Bay with its resident green turtles.
The guide gets in the water at every snorkel stop and stays with non-swimmers the whole time. Snorkel gear is sanitised for every guest, and the photo and underwater video gallery is shared the same evening.

★★★★★
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.

You book a boat class and a cabin category. The specific boat is assigned closer to departure and always matches the class booked. We confirm the boat name before you travel.
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.
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 children and non-swimmers join?
Yes. Children are welcome: tell us their ages so we can prepare life jackets and choose suitable snorkelling spots. Non-swimmers can join with a life jacket, but not in deep water. Our guides snorkel with the group.
Will we see Komodo dragons?
On every trip of ours that visits Komodo National Park, yes, and we guarantee it. Our owner and guides are from Komodo Island and know where the dragons are, including in mating season when they often hide. If you do not see a Komodo dragon, we refund you; the terms are confirmed in writing when you book. Manta rays, turtles, whale sharks and flying foxes are wild and cannot be guaranteed.
Eight stops and a sunset in one day: a fast AC speedboat through the morning, then a traditional open-deck wooden boat for the slow sail to Kalong Island at dusk.
A slower, more comfortable day in Komodo National Park on a luxury open-deck boat: Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo dragons on Rinca and sunset with the flying foxes at Kalong.
