Open Trip Labuan Bajo

We recommend booking 4-6 weeks in advance, especially for peak season (June–October) and weekend departures. Weekday trips often have availability 2-3 weeks out. Cabins are limited (8-16 guests per boat), so popular dates fill quickly. Last-minute bookings (1-2 weeks) may be available, but with limited cabin choice.

Yes, our open trips are perfect for solo travelers—about 40% of our guests travel alone. Pricing is per person (no single supplement). You’ll share a cabin with another same-gender traveler unless you choose the Private Cabin option (at double the per-person rate).

Weekday trips (Monday-Wednesday) tend to be less crowded at popular spots like Padar Island and Pink Beach, with a more relaxed pace. Weekend trips (Friday-Sunday) have livelier group energy and slightly better flight connections from Bali. Both trips follow the same itinerary and visit the same destinations. Pricing is identical.
