One wooden phinisi for your whole group, priced by headcount

You rent Arfisyana whole, so the fare belongs to the boat and never to a cabin. Five headcount bands set it: 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16 and 17-20 guests. The table below gives the 3D2N band by band, with each guest's share at the top of every band.

Cost per head: a full boat pays the lowest share, and every empty bed raises it a little. The park package per head, tips and flights sit outside that share. A guide or someone to film the trip comes on request, with a quote of its own.

The one-day, 2D1N and 4D3N routes use the same five bands. The group charter page holds all four routes and the split at every headcount from 2 to 20, so the sums live in one place and you only check them once.

Five cabins, each with its own bathroom, AC and a window to the sea. The two Master Cabins have a double bed and take an extra bed on request: 3 guests each, 6 together. The three Sharing Rooms sleep 4, 6 and 4 on bunks: 14 together. Six and fourteen make the full 20. Without the extra beds the boat counts 18 standard beds.

Put the chaperones, teachers, grandparents or the team lead in the Masters. Put students, colleagues and cousins in the bunks. We will not pretend the sharing rooms are private suites, and a couple wanting their own closed room should look at another boat.

Draw the split on paper before anyone argues about it in the group chat. The plan below shows which beds sit in which room.

Meeting point: the hotel lobby or airport arrivals, from 10:00 to 11:00. The anchor comes up at 11:00. Day one brings a hill walk on Kelor, the first snorkel off Manjarite, and Kalong at dusk while the bats leave the mangroves. Dinner is at anchor.

Day two is the long one. Pace: the Padar climb takes 30 to 45 minutes, so the group needs shoes with grip, a hat and a litre of water per head. Take the water break at the top, count heads, then walk down together. After breakfast the boat moves to Pink Beach, then Komodo Island with a ranger, and a snorkel each at Taka Makassar and Manta Point.

Day three is a Kanawa snorkel and breakfast, then the quay near 12:00. Book flights home for the late afternoon or later. The 3D2N page has the full run, stop by stop.

A school class on a study tour, a graduating year, an alumni reunion, a company team, a community club, three generations of one family. For this boat they look alike: one group, one leader, one headcount.

The details differ. Classes need bunks and a chaperone plan. Alumni and cousins want long evenings on the sun deck. A team that wants three days away from the phone should know that the local Wi-Fi modem works only where the signal reaches.

Each occasion has its own page, written for the person who has to organise it. Open the one closest to your group and skim the rest. They share the fare bands and the rooming plan, and they differ in pace, paperwork and who signs for the money.

The 3D2N makes nine stops. On day one: Kelor, Manjarite and Kalong. On day two: Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo, Taka Makassar and Manta Point. On day three: Kanawa, then the quay.

Eight of those nine have a page of their own in the grid below. Manjarite, a short first snorkel, is covered on the route page. The ninth tile is Sebayur, which joins only on the four-day sample route.

Two stops ask real legwork: Padar and the ranger walk on Komodo Island. Four are for snorkelling. The sea and the captain set the order on the day, and each stop page gives the pace, the kit and what a group of 20 should expect.

Every quote here reviews Komodo Explorer, the booking company behind this charter. They come from guests on Komodo Explorer trips in general, not only on Arfisyana, and each carries its source beside it.

Read them for how the booking was handled: the replies, the pickup, the changes, the money. The boat's own facts sit on the vessel and cabins pages, and reviews of Arfisyana trips join this block as groups write them, with the same kind of source line.

Then check the company details in the box further down. A quote tells you how a trip felt. The registration number tells you who takes your deposit and who answers the phone when something changes.

Run the fit check before you pay for anything. This is the wrong boat for one traveller, for a couple and for friends who want private rooms without bunks. A party of more than 20 does not fit either: this boat takes 20. Send the headcount and dates and we tell you what can be arranged.

If the fit is right, three WhatsApp messages hold your dates. Message one: headcount, dates and length. Message two: we confirm the band, and you pay the deposit. Message three: the name list.

We check dates live on WhatsApp, as of 8 November 2026. The booking company is PT Komodo Explorer Indonesia, and its registration number and hours sit in the box below.
