Who you are booking with
This guide does not take bookings
Flores Island Travel publishes the research — routes, costs, seasons, permits. This guide does not operate boats or vehicles. Bookings are fulfilled by Komodo Luxury, and this site may earn a referral commission. It does not hold a calendar or take payment either.
That separation is deliberate. It is why the pricing pages here state ranges and say when a figure is indicative, rather than quoting a number the desk then has to honour.
Practically it means one message reaches both halves of a trip. The same desk holds the overland cars and the Komodo boats, so a combined itinerary is one booking rather than two that have to be made to line up.
Your first message
What to include so the reply is useful
A vague enquiry gets a vague proposal. These six lines get a real itinerary.
What not to expect:
A single fixed number for a 3D2N Komodo tour. Boat class, cabin type, group size and season move that figure by several multiples, which is why no honest desk publishes one price.
- Your travel dates, or the window you are working within.
- Group size, and the ages if children or older travellers are coming.
- Entry and exit airports — Labuan Bajo, Ende or Maumere.
- Which half matters most: overland culture, Komodo boats, or both.
- Any fixed constraint: a flight already booked, a budget ceiling, a mobility need.
- Whether you want private or are open to a shared departure.
Private or shared
The decision that moves the price most
Before dates, before boat class. This one sets the whole shape of the quote.
Shared / open trip
Fixed departures
Cheapest per head, on someone else’s schedule.
- Set dates and a fixed route
- Cabins and seats sold individually
- Best value for one or two travellers
- No flexibility on timing or stops
Group size is the other lever. Per-person rates fall noticeably from four travellers up, because the car, the guide and the boat divide across more people.
The process
Three steps, and what happens at each
Nothing is paid before the itinerary is agreed in writing.
-
Message on WhatsApp
Send the six lines above. The desk replies within about a day, usually sooner.
-
Receive an itemised proposal
A day-by-day route with hotels and boats named, and inclusions listed line by line rather than bundled.
-
Revise until it fits
Reverse the direction, change a hotel, add or drop a stop. Redrafting is expected.
-
Confirm with a deposit
The deposit holds cars, boats, rooms and park slots. The balance settles before departure as agreed.
Cancellation and payment
Ask for the terms in writing before you pay
Payment methods, deposit size and the cancellation window are the operator’s terms, not this guide’s. Get them in the same message as the quote, and read them before the deposit rather than after.
Booking questions
Asked before every deposit
Payment, cancellation, and why there is no single headline price.
For the full set, see our FAQ — 135 questions answered.
Who am I actually booking with?
Komodo Luxury, the licensed operator in our group. This guide publishes research and may earn a referral commission; it does not hold your money or your booking.
Why is there no fixed 3D2N Komodo price?
Because boat class, cabin type, group size and season move it by several multiples. A single number would be wrong for most readers on most dates.
What payment methods are accepted?
The operator publishes its own list and confirms it with your proposal. Ask for it in writing alongside the quote.
What is the cancellation policy?
Set by the operator and stated in your proposal. Read it before the deposit, not after — it varies by boat and by season.
Does group size affect the price?
Substantially. Per-person rates fall from about four travellers up because the vehicle, the guide and the boat divide across more people.
Can I combine a Komodo boat trip with overland Flores?
Yes, and it is the most common combined booking. One desk holds both, so the dates line up without a gap day.
How far ahead should I book?
Four to eight weeks for July and August, and earlier for a specific boat or a Wae Rebo overnight. Shoulder months are easier.
How quickly will I get a reply?
Usually within a day. WhatsApp is faster than email, which is why it is the first contact route on every page here.
