No charge yet. We confirm dates and availability first.
Two options: pay the cabin times two to keep it private, or join the share-cabin waitlist for solo guests of the same gender, where you pay just one seat. The waitlist works for most solo guests on our open trips.
The Flores Sea is generally calm in dry season (April to November), the Phinisi is heavy and stable, and we anchor in protected coves overnight. If you are prone to seasickness, bring tablets just in case; we also carry basic remedies.
Padar at sunrise is a 30 to 45 minute climb on uneven terrain and is the most demanding part. Komodo treks are gentle and snorkeling is optional everywhere. We have taken couples in their 70s and families with kids over 5 on the same trip.
Asik Travel curates and sells this trip end to end and is your booking contact throughout. The vessel is built and operated by our partner shipyard, Elbark Cruises, a modern Phinisi specialist. You book with us; the boat is a partner asset.
