Fixed

Which costs are fixed?

Three charges do not move with the season or the boat. Everything else does.

Raja Ampat is expensive because everything arrives by boat and the park is deliberately capped. The tariff is what keeps it that way.

Shapes

What do 7, 10 and 14-day budgets look like?

Not prices — shapes. The number of boat nights is what actually drives the figure.

7 days

6 boat nights

Overnight GA 686 in, a 7D6N sailing, one-stop out.

10 days

7 boat nights

One Bali night, a one-stop flight, one Sorong night, then the sailing.

14 days

10 boat nights

Overnight GA 686 in, an 11D10N sailing, three Bali nights.
