Booking

How to Book

There is no booking engine here, and we would rather say so than send you hunting for one. You message us, we quote, a deposit holds the boat. A real person answers.

Start a Booking

In short

You book a Raja Ampat boat tour with us by message: send your dates and group size, we confirm availability and send a written quote, and a deposit holds the boat until you settle the balance before departure.

  • WhatsApp or email — no account, no form
  • Quoted in IDR, with the day's exchange rate
  • Deposit holds the date, balance before departure
  • The marine park permit is paid separately on arrival

The process

Four steps, start to finish

Nothing is automated, which is slower than a checkout and better for a trip where the sea gets a vote.

  1. 01

    Send your dates

    Travel dates, group size, and which route or package interests you. That is enough to start.

  2. 02

    We send a quote

    In writing, in IDR, itemised — the boat, what is included, the permit, and anything paid separately.

  3. 03

    A deposit holds it

    A portion of the total reserves your date and the partner boat. We confirm the exact split before you pay anything.

  4. 04

    Balance before you go

    Settled before or on the day of departure, per your booking confirmation.

Booking ahead matters most for peak months and multi-day private charters. Two to four weeks is the lead time we suggest between October and April.

Before you message

What to tell us

Four things get you a real quote on the first reply instead of a back-and-forth.

Your dates

Even approximate. Season changes what is sensible more than anything else.

How many people

The boat is priced whole, so group size sets the per-person cost.

What you want to see

Viewpoints, reefs, or both. Wayag and Piaynemo need very different days.

How you swim

If anyone is nervous in water, say so. We match the itinerary to that, not to the strongest swimmer.

Send the first message

Dates and group size are enough to start. We answer questions even if you are still deciding, and we would rather give you honest advice than a hard sell.
