How to Book Your Komodo Tour
When planning your trip, it’s essential to book well in advance, especially in peak season. Most operators require a 50% deposit upon booking, with the balance due 14 days before departure. For a seamless experience, consider a trusted operator such as Komodo Luxury, known for their exceptional service and well-maintained fleet.
Additional Costs to Consider
While you may have a clear idea of what’s included in your package, there are additional costs to consider:
- Raja Ampat Fees: If you’re considering a side trip to Raja Ampat during your visit, be prepared for foreign park fees of IDR 1,000,000 per person.
- Transportation: Flights to Sorong for Raja Ampat can also add to your budget, so check those costs while planning.
- Gratuities: It’s customary to tip your guides and crew, so budget accordingly.
