See a Komodo dragon, or we refund you
Choose option B or C and a ranger-led trek on Rinca Island is included. If you do not see a Komodo dragon on that trek, 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.

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.

No. Coral planting is done in shallow water with a mask and snorkel, and the guide stays with you the whole time. Non-swimmers can plant from the boat or shallow water with a life jacket.
How many turtles do we release?
Two baby turtles per guest are included. You can add more; tell us when you book.
Is this trip private?
Yes. The car, the boat and the guide are only for your group. The minimum is 2 people.
Can we see Komodo dragons on this trip?
Choose option B or C to add a ranger-led trek on Rinca Island. The Komodo dragon guarantee applies to those options.
Can I pay on arrival?
Yes, on this trip you can reserve without a deposit and pay at our office in Labuan Bajo or on the day of the trip.
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.
Six of Komodo's best stops in one day by air-conditioned speedboat, with the park ticket, ranger fee and crew tips already included. Nothing to pay on the day.
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.
