Komodo boat trip by occasion: match the reason you travel to a cabin on King Cirox 2

Twelve guides sit below, one per reason for travelling. Each is written for someone who knows why they are going and needs to know which door on King Cirox 2 to book. Every guide ends with a price in figures and with the limits that matter for that kind of trip.

The guides fall into three groups.

• For two: honeymoon, couples, luxury. These turn on the two balcony cabins, Malang and Madiun, and on the wooden tub that only Madiun has.
• For many: family, groups, corporate, graduation. Here the berth tally decides, 23 beds at most, along with the whole-boat guest bands.
• For one purpose: solo, budget, photography, adventure, diving. The Gresik bunk, the snorkel kit and the route matter most in these.

Read the one that fits you first. If two apply, a couple who also photograph, or a solo traveller on a budget, read both; the facts never contradict each other, because they all come from the same booklets and the same rate sheet. Pick your guide from the grid below.

Whatever the occasion, the money works one of two ways. The open trip sells the boat by the person: a cabin or a bunk on a fixed 3D2N sailing every Monday & Friday, from IDR 3,350,000 (≈ USD 206) for a Gresik bunk to IDR 5,400,000 (≈ USD 331) per person in Madiun. A private cabin needs at least two paying guests. The fare includes pickup, meals, a local guide and a documentation crew.

The private charter sells the whole boat by the guest band: one to five, six to ten, eleven to fifteen, then a fee per extra guest up to 23. A 3D2N for up to five is IDR 47,500,000 (≈ USD 2,914). You choose the start day and the length, from a full day to 5D4N. The guide and the photo crew are not in a charter price; both are quoted separately on request.

Small parties tend to save on the open trip and big ones on the charter. Each occasion guide shows where that line falls for its own group size. The compass below has the next dates and prices.

Three occasions need a warning before you open their guides. Divers will not find a compressor or tanks on board: King Cirox 2 is a snorkelling boat, and the diving guide explains how to add dive days around it. Guests looking for a five-star yacht will find a phinisi from 2024, finished in 2025, instead, and the guide for that search says so in its first paragraph.

And a solo traveller who wants a private cabin pays for two places, because every private cabin is sold for two paying guests at least. The bunk in Gresik is the one-person fare.

Every occasion runs into two limits. Park entry, at IDR 250,000 per foreign guest each day, sits outside every fare, and so do the rangers. And the decks are reached by stairs, with no lift. If neither of those stops you, one of the twelve guides will fit. The fit list below sets out the rest in one place; read it, then open your guide.
