A Week in Toraja

Sal and Budi advised me very well with a choice of itineraries and Yulius and Lia were the best guides. Once he knew my interests, Yulius planned three varied and interesting days and took me to a number of villages and burial sites round Rantepao; as well as attending a funeral, we visited a village ...

Tanjung Puting

Amazing Experience!

We had an amazing time. Our guide, Adhi, met us the evening before at our guest house (Sam’s bungalow) and went through the plan for the next couple of days and everything we’d need to bring. He then met us again after breakfast the next morning. He organised for our bags to be stored whilst ...

Super 4D/3N Tour!

We booked a 4D/3N tour quite late into our planning as we had to move our plans following the earthquakes in Indonesia. Both the staff at Local-Guides and our assigned guide Nur were incredibly helpful before the trip began and provided lots of information to us. We stayed a night in Pangkalanbun before we set ...

Fantastic 8D7N Tour!

After a splendid tour with LG (local-guides dot org) in Kalimantan, we decided to do the 8 Day Sumatra Tour with them, and it was just another dream come true! We were a bit unsure in the beginning because the price was so much lower than other tour agencies, but everything was super nicely organized! ...

3D2N Jungle Trek

Met veel plezier hebben we deze jungle trekking gedaan. Adhi was onze gids en heeft ons overal veilig doorheen geloodst. Eerste dag was even wennen, voornamelijk aan het yoga matje om op te slapen.. Ontzettend genoten van de mooie plekken die er te vinden zijn in de jungle. Ook af en toe doorbijten met de ...

Highly Recommended to Take a Guide

I am a very low-budget backpacker and therefore I traveled through Tana Toraja for 2 days without a guide. However, I got the feeling that I was only visiting tourist places while my impression was that there was so much that the area offered which is why I decided to contact local guides. And I ...

Incredible Family Trip

Our family (two adults and two teenagers) did a 3D2N tour in January 2018. We were delighted with our experience. Our individual needs and interests (one keen birdwatcher, allergy to peanuts) were accommodated seamlessly. Our guide Faisal provided additional resources about the birds of the rainforest and was constantly diligent in spotting and helping to ...

Best Tour with Local Guides

We had very high expectations of our Tanjung Puting tour, and it still exceeded our expectations! While cruising along the river sekonyer using klotok, we saw many bekantan and birds. The first feeding place there were some orangutans in tanjung harapan station, and then we set out again down the river and staying near the ...

Where to find the day-to-day itineraries?

Click on the tab Komodo Tour or Overland Tour above the image slider on this page to see the day-to-day itineraries for the Komodo- and Flores Overland Tours, respectively.

What is included in the Komodo Tour?

Included: transfer service to/from harbour, private boat, guide & boat staff, snorkelling gear, meals, mineral water

excluded: entrance fee to Komodo National park, alcohol & soft drinks, voluntary tips

What is the entrance fee to Komodo National Park?

According to the default itineraries for the 2D, 3D and 4D Komodo Tours, each passenger needs an entrance ticket for 2 days. The reason the entrance fees are excluded from the tour price is that sometimes we need to change the itinerary due to weather conditions and we do not want to overcharge you unnecessarily beforehand.

The extra price for the entrance fees in the default itinerary for both the 3D2N Komodo Tour and the 4D3N Komodo Tour are 700.000 IDR per person for the entire tour in 2020.

What are the safety measures on board?

Safety is the number one priority with the livaboard Komodo Tours.

We tailor the tour itinerary to the weather/sea conditions. In case these conditions at some sites are too wild according to the captain, we visit the site on a different time/day or skip it and visit other sites instead.

There are life jackets on board for all passengers.

There is radio communication on board.

Is the Komodo tour safe for children?

The Komodo Tour should not be done with 0-3 years old children.

Bigger children usually love the tour! However, kids sometimes are more sensitive to the heat, so we advice to always book a boat with AC (we only use standard boats with AC cabins)

Does the crew speak English?

We only work with English speaking, licensed guides that will join you throughout the tour. The cook and captain on board speak little English.

Are the tours shared or private?

All our tours are private. Therefore, the itinerary is not set in stone, and we happily accommodate requests that deviate from our default itinerary.

When does the tour start/end?

Because of the private nature of our tours, we will start the tour whenever you arrive in Labuan Bajo or whenever you wish to be picked up from your accommodation in Labuan Bajo, as long as it is before noon.

The tour end is also flexible. The tour usually ends early in the afternoon, but we can stretch it in case you have a late flight or accommodate an early flight departure.

The start/end times are different for the Flores Overland Tours. For each tour, the start/end time is written in the corresponding day-to-day itineraries.

What's the best period to visit?

The weather is usually best and the sea is most calm from the beginning of May to the end of October.

Between November and March - and especially in December and January - the weather can sometimes be in bad conditions. We have a zero-risk policy and therefore the itinerary may be adjusted based on the weather.

However, these winter months are the best period for seeing large groups of Manta Rays. The emphasis is on "large groups", as individual Manta Rays can usually be seen throughout the year.
