Komodo boat trip guides: schedule, bag, children and wind on King Cirox 2

Each guide takes one question that arrives after the deposit and answers it with figures from this boat.

• The schedule: what a start date means, the minimum of four cabins, provisional 2027 dates and what can change a day.
• The bag: a soft bag, closed shoes, your own fins, rupiah, passport details and an adapter, set against what the boat already supplies.
• Decks and children: three levels joined by stairs, the bow nets, life jackets, children's fares and the Gresik bathroom.
• The wind seasons: the dry and wet months, the south-east wind, harbour suspensions and the deck that moves less.

None is long. Each closes with what to do next, whether that is sending a date, renting fins or choosing a main-deck door. If your case is not covered, message us with your booking date and the answer comes back in writing.

Three sources sit behind the figures, and each guide says which one it leans on.

The first is the boat's own paper: the 2026 and 2027 charter booklets, the open-trip booklet, the live rate and departure sheet and the official ship sketch. Cabin names, the facility list, routes, the pickup window and the minimum of four cabins come from there. Where a photo adds a detail, as with the life ring beside Kediri's windows, the guide says the detail is from the photo, because a photo shows one day and not the whole boat.

The second is general knowledge of the national park: seasons, sea ratings, trek times, park fees and the harbour rules. We label it as general. The third is our own estimates, mainly the minutes between stops, and only the Labuan Bajo to Kelor leg is verified. Where nothing is printed anywhere, a guide says not listed and stops there. The dates the guides apply to are below.

Read in the order of your own trip. Before you have a date, start with the schedule. Once the deposit is paid, move to the bag. If children are coming, read the deck guide before you choose the cabin, because the cabin decides how many stairs lie between bed and dinner. If you are choosing a month, the wind guide comes before the date.

The guides are written for the 3D2N open trip, which leaves every Monday & Friday with a bunk from IDR 3,350,000 (≈ USD 206). Where the 2D1N or a private charter differs, the guide says so in a line of its own.

When you have read what applies, message us the date and the cabin. The fit list below puts the boat's limits in one place before you do.
