What a Komodo Escape Actually Costs

A shared seat on a day-trip speedboat is USD 90 per person. A shared cabin on a 3D2N phinisi runs USD 300-850 per person for the voyage. A private phinisi starts at USD 5,300 per yacht per night. Rooms in Labuan Bajo sit at USD 150-400 a night.

Per night, usually yes. Per trip, often not — a 3D2N shared cabin from USD 300 absorbs two nights, all meals, transfers and the boat, which you would otherwise buy separately.

Two to three months in the dry season, longer over Christmas and New Year. Good boats fill first; cheap seats stay available because they always do.

Departure time, boat age, group size, and whether park fees are inside the number. Ask for those four things and most of the gap explains itself.

No. We put you onto the operator and stay out of the transaction, which is also why we can tell you when one is not the right fit.
