An Asik Original — run by us
Planned and run end to end by the Asik team. You book and deal directly with us, start to finish.
Overview
The whole boat, yours. Same Phinisi, same crew, same destinations as our open trip, but you set the schedule and there are no strangers. Charter from IDR 120M total for up to 10 guests on a 2D1N (under IDR 12M, about $750 per person), or IDR 140M for the 3D2N, with each extra guest up to 21 adding a fixed rate. A free private beach dinner comes with charters of 3 nights or more. Built for family reunions, weddings, freediving trips, and honeymoons.
Day 1
Boarding in Labuan Bajo: meet on the harbour, board the Phinisi, drop bags in your cabin, welcome briefing on the sundeck.
Cruise to a calm snorkel site (Sebayur, Siaba, or your pick): a gentle reef, easy entry, a warm up before the bigger sites.
Lunch on board as we sail toward Taka Makasar.
Taka Makasar sandbar, the tiny crescent island in the middle of the Flores Sea.
Manta Point: drift snorkel where oceanic manta rays cruise the cleaning station.
Sunset at Padar or the Kalong bats, your pick: Padar's three bay viewpoint at golden hour, or Kalong's flying fox sunset.
Dinner on board, then sundeck movies or karaoke.
Day 2
Optional wake call: skip it if you would rather sleep in. Quick coffee, then transfer to Padar.
Padar Island sunrise hike up the famous viewpoint as the sun comes over the bays.
Breakfast on board as we sail to Pink Beach.
Pink Beach: swim and snorkel directly off the beach over thriving reef.
Komodo Island and dragons: land at Loh Liang ranger station, where a park ranger walks you through dragon territory.
Lunch on board as we cruise to Pengah Island.
Pengah Island snorkel: a less visited reef, often the trip's best snorkel for coral health.
Free afternoon: paddleboard, canoe, nap, or another snorkel site.
Private beach dinner, a 3D2N charter perk: a private beach dinner on a hidden cove with tables, lights, and a chef, no other guests.
Day 3
Breakfast on board as we cruise to Kelor.
Kelor Island: a short, sharp hike up a small island for one last panorama.
Manjarite snorkel: a final snorkel, calm, shallow, colourful.
Cruise back to Labuan Bajo, packing time, a late breakfast on the sundeck.
Arrive Labuan Bajo harbour: disembark, transfer to your hotel or the airport.
1 to 21 guests. The base price for 1 to 10 is the same, so the per-person cost goes down the more you bring up to 10. From guest 11 to 21, each extra person is a fixed rate (IDR 4,500,000 on the 3D2N tier).
Yes, that is the whole point. We send a proposed itinerary based on your style (relaxed, action-packed, family, honeymoon, photographer-heavy) and you redline it. Common requests: skip the early sunrise, add a freediving spot, or swap an island for a fishing village.
On charters of 3 nights or more, we set up tables and lanterns on a private cove one evening, the boat's chef cooks ashore, and we coordinate music and any surprises (an engagement, a birthday cake) if you tell us in advance.
Yes, we have done both. Tell us early so we can plan flowers, a photographer, and a private cove setup.
Asik Travel designs, sells, and runs your charter end to end, from itinerary to airport transfers. The Phinisi is built and operated by our partner shipyard, Elbark Cruises, and crewed by the same team as our open trip. You book with us; the boat is a partner vessel.
