★★★★★
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.

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.
Drive into the Manggarai highlands, trek up to Wae Rebo and spend the night in one of its cone-shaped Mbaru Niang houses, with the village welcome ceremony and breakfast with local families.
Travel from Labuan Bajo to Wae Rebo village, stay overnight in a traditional Mbaru Niang, meet local residents, see the Lembor spider-web rice fields and finish with local seafood at Kampung Ujung.
A full day to Nuca Molas on the south coast of Flores: a boat ride below its sharp peak, Lowok Beach, the lighthouse and savanna, and Labuan Taur Beach.
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.
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.
