Check one bunk

One traveller, one bunk or one cabin

Every seat on the shared sailing is priced per person. The cabins are sold two sharing, and the Sharing Cabin is sold per bunk. A solo guest therefore chooses between two kinds of seat: a bunk among strangers, or a place in a double cabin, with the pairing and the price in writing before you pay.

The Sharing Cabin sits on the lower deck. It holds two bunk beds, four single berths, and it has its own bathroom and air conditioning. It is the lowest seat on the boat at IDR 3,850,000 (≈ USD 236) per person.

The boat is a traditional phinisi of about 31 m with seven cabins in five types, and it holds 16 guests overnight. A solo traveller is one of at most sixteen, and the shared sailing carries a guide and photo and video documentation inside the seat.

A fare for one guest alone in a double cabin is quoted in writing before you pay.

What a solo guest pays

The fares, per person, on the 3D2N open trip:

  • Sharing Cabin bunk: IDR 3,850,000 (≈ USD 236).
  • Superior, two sharing: IDR 5,500,000 (≈ USD 337).
  • Deluxe Ocean, two sharing: IDR 7,750,000 (≈ USD 475).
  • Master Ocean, two sharing: IDR 8,500,000 (≈ USD 521).
  • Master Suite Ocean, two sharing: IDR 9,500,000 (≈ USD 583).

If you want a double cabin alone, single use is quoted in writing before you pay, and you decide before the deposit. The deposit is 50 percent and the balance is due 30 days before sailing.

Beside the seat sit the park package, quoted per trip type and paid with the deposit, drinks beyond free-flow water, tea and coffee, tips and card fees. A card link adds 3 percent and PayPal 7.2 percent.

Caveat: a bunk fare needs other guests to sail with, and the sailing is confirmed only when the seats are sold.

Who shares the Sharing Cabin

Strangers share it. The four berths are sold separately, so the people in the other bunks are other guests who booked for themselves, and the boat cannot say in advance who they are or how old they are. Families and groups who want to stay together take the cabin whole, or a private cabin.

The cabin has two bunk beds, which means a guest sleeps above or below another. A lower bunk is easier to reach, and we note a preference, but a bunk is not promised until the cabin is full. The bathroom belongs to the cabin and is shared by those four.

The cabin has bunk beds, four single berths, a bathroom and air conditioning; its dimensions are not published. We confirm the cabin mix in writing, and same-gender sharing is not promised.

Tell us your age and your sleeping habits. We note them on the booking, and we do not promise a match.

Dates for one, checked live

Sailings run every Friday & Monday, three days and two nights, from Labuan Bajo to Labuan Bajo. The next dated sailing is Friday, 4 December 2026. The calendar was read on 8 November 2026; November 2026 is docking, and no open trip sails then.

A solo guest has the most flexibility, because one bunk is easier to fit than a party of six. Send two dates and we check the calendar live. Seats sell by cabin, so a date can be open for a bunk and closed for the Master Suite Ocean.

2027 sailings exist in the calendar, and 2027 rates are on request, with the 2026 card as the reference. If the 2027 card differs, we tell you before the final payment and you can cancel free.

Across the three days a solo guest meets the same boat as everyone: Day 1 is Kelor, Manjarite and Kalong, Day 2 is Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo, Taka Makassar and Manta Point, and Day 3 is a last snorkel and the return.

What to settle before paying alone

Five points to have in writing before the deposit. First, the cabin and its price. Second, the date and the pickup point in Labuan Bajo, with the pickup time confirmed in writing. Third, the return time, which we confirm in writing at booking so you can book a flight home for the late afternoon or the next day. Fourth, the park package and what it covers. Fifth, your medical notes and diet, entered on the pre-departure form.

If the operator replaces the boat, the replacement is of equal or higher class on the same date at no extra charge, or you receive a full refund within 2 days. Cancellation by you follows the terms page.

A solo guest carries the same Komodo park ticket rules as anyone else, so bring the passport or ID the registration needs. Hot water in the cabins and wheelchair access are confirmed in writing before payment, so ask us first.

Caveat: the Sharing Cabin is not private, and the bathroom is shared by four.

FAQ

Will other guests be aboard if I book one cabin on the shared sailing?

Yes. The shared sailing holds up to 16 guests in seven cabins, and each cabin is sold on its own. You are one of a small party, not the only guest. If you want the boat to yourself, the whole boat is priced per boat, for 1 to 16 guests, at IDR 162,000,000 (≈ USD 9,939) for 3D2N.

What does a solo traveller pay on the open trip?

A bunk in the Sharing Cabin costs IDR 3,850,000 (≈ USD 236) per person on 3D2N. A double cabin is sold two sharing, from IDR 5,500,000 (≈ USD 337) for a Superior to IDR 9,500,000 (≈ USD 583) for the Master Suite Ocean. Single use of a double cabin is quoted in writing before you pay.

Who would I share the Sharing Cabin with?

With other guests who booked a bunk for themselves, mostly travellers on their own. The boat cannot say in advance who or how old they are. Tell us your age and your preferences, and we pass them on. A lower bunk is noted as a wish, not promised.

Can I join if my dates are not a Friday or a Monday?

The shared sailing departs only on Friday & Monday, so a seat needs one of those dates. Other dates are possible on a private charter, priced per boat. Send us your window, and we check the calendar live and confirm on WhatsApp before you pay anything.

Is the Sharing Cabin bathroom private?

The Sharing Cabin has its own bathroom, shared by the four guests in its bunks. It is not a private cabin. A solo guest who wants a private bathroom takes a double cabin, and we quote that price for one guest in writing before the deposit.
