Frequently Asked Questions
Ask Our Local ExpertAre Komodo National Park fees included?
It depends on the trip, and each page says so clearly. On all-fees-included trips nothing is paid on board. On the others, park entrance and ranger fees are paid in cash on the day: the guide collects them on the boat and pays at the park counter for the group.
Which boat will I be on?
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 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 I share a cabin with strangers?
Only if you book a shared cabin or dorm. Shared rooms may be mixed-gender. Private cabins are for you and your companion only.
Where do you pick up?
From hotels, homestays and villas in Labuan Bajo, from Komodo Airport, or from another address in town that you choose.

Can I pay when I arrive in Labuan Bajo?
Yes. You can meet us at our office in Labuan Bajo and pay there before your trip, by credit or debit card, bank transfer or QRIS. You do not have to send money to someone you have never met.
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.
