A per-person place on a VIP phinisi with 7 above-deck cabins, leaving Labuan Bajo for Komodo National Park every Friday and Monday, from IDR 6,750,000 (USD 450) per person per 3D2N voyage on 2027 publish rates.

3D2N open / share trip

Does Ayvara Cruise offer an open trip from Labuan Bajo?

Yes. Ayvara Cruise runs an open trip: a scheduled 3D2N voyage from Labuan Bajo through Komodo National Park, sold per person by cabin type instead of by the whole boat. On the 2027 publish rates (rate sheet dated 11 September 2026), a place costs IDR 6,750,000 (USD 450) in a Superior Cabin, IDR 7,750,000 (USD 530) in a Deluxe Cabin and IDR 8,500,000 (USD 570) in the Master Cabin, per person per voyage.

In Labuan Bajo the names open trip, share trip and sharing trip describe the same product: a fixed-date departure on which travellers book individual places and sail together. On Ayvara that means sharing a traditional wooden phinisi with no more than 15 guests across 7 above-deck, sea-view cabins, each with air conditioning and an en-suite bathroom. The route takes in Kelor, Manjarite, Kalong, Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Manta Point, Taka Makassar and Sebayur, conditions permitting.

Who it suits

Who the Ayvara sharing trip suits

The open trip suits travellers who want a VIP-class phinisi without paying for the whole boat. Couples can book one of the three balcony cabins, the Master or either Deluxe, while friends and small families can take several cabins on the same departure. Children aged 3 and above are charged the full rate. Every cabin has a queen bed, a sea view, air conditioning and a private bathroom, and Starlink internet is available on board for guests who need to stay in contact at sea.

It is less suited to anyone who needs a different trip length or the boat to themselves. The sharing trip follows a fixed 3D2N timetable, and destinations may change with weather and field conditions. Families and small groups who want a private cruise around Komodo can take Ayvara as a private charter from 2D1N to 7D6N; on the 2027 publish rates a 3D2N charter is IDR 104,000,000 (USD 6,200) for 1–8 guests or IDR 118,000,000 (USD 7,000) for 9–15 guests, per charter of the whole boat. The open trip versus private charter comparison sets out the differences.

Solo travellers should ask the Komodo Luxury reservations desk about cabin arrangements for their date before paying a deposit, on WhatsApp +62 811-3823-875 or at sales@komodoluxury.com.

How is a place on the Ayvara open trip booked and paid for?

Bookings are not taken on this site. Places are reserved through the Ayvara page on Komodo Luxury or the reservations desk. A 50% non-refundable deposit secures the booking and the balance is due no later than 30 days before departure; trips less than 30 days away are paid in full.
