To reach the Bali to Raja Ampat trip planner, message WhatsApp +62 811 3823 875 or email sales@komodoluxury.com. Send your travel dates and group size first. Raja Ampat’s marine park works on dated tickets, so the Komodo Luxury reservations team fixes the date before matching a boat, flights and Bali nights.
This desk is operated by Komodo Luxury, based in Labuan Bajo. Bookings are handled directly by its reservations team. There is no call-centre relay, and this site does not list office hours or a walk-in address. Message when it suits you; the team replies directly.
How do I contact the Bali to Raja Ampat trip planner?
Two channels, one team. Pick the one that fits what you need to send.
| Channel | Details | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| +62 811 3823 875 | Quick date checks, flight-timing questions, voice notes | |
| [sales@komodoluxury.com](mailto:sales@komodoluxury.com) | Guest lists, passport-name spelling, proposals you need to forward | |
| Inquiry form (below) | Copy into either channel | A first message with everything in one place |
What should I include in my first message?
Five answers let the team check feasibility on the first reply instead of the third. Keep it short.
- Travel dates. Your arrival in Bali and the latest date you need to be home. A month is fine if you are flexible, but a booking needs exact days.
- Group size. Adults, plus children under 12 (they are exempt from the marine park card).
- Bali nights wanted. Before Raja Ampat, after, or split on both sides.
- Non-diver mix. How many dive, how many snorkel only, and anyone who prefers to stay dry.
- Month preference. Raja Ampat seas are generally calmer October to April. Bali peaks June to September and in holiday weeks.
Copy this into WhatsApp or email:
“`
Dates: arrive Bali __ / home by __
Group: __ adults, __ children under 12
Bali nights: __ before / __ after
Non-diver mix: __ divers, __ snorkellers, __ non-swimmers
Month (if flexible): __
Nationalities: foreign / Indonesian / mixed
“`
Nationality matters because Raja Ampat fees differ for foreign and Indonesian guests.
What happens after I send it?
Reply times vary with season and time zones, so this page makes no fixed promise. What stays consistent is the order of work.
| Stage | What the team sends back | What you prepare |
|---|---|---|
| 1. First reply | Whether your dates work, and whether they suit the weekly Bali–Sorong nonstop or need a connection | Flexibility on the departure day |
| 2. Routing draft | DPS–SOQ flight options, Sorong arrival plan, ferry or boat pickup timing | Where you fly into Bali from |
| 3. Trip proposal | Boat options, Bali nights, transfers and fee summary | Budget band, bed and cabin setup |
| 4. Confirmation | Written terms for the confirmed plan | Full names exactly as in passports |
July, August and Christmas weeks are requested first. Writing early leaves more boats and better flight days on the table.

How does booking work, step by step?
- Send dates and group size. Nothing else is needed to start.
- Date check. FlightConnections and fltmapper snapshots (Sep 2026) show Garuda GA 686 as the nonstop, roughly once a week, leaving 01:30–01:40 and landing 05:40. Most days mean one stop via Makassar (about 6h35 total, per FlightRoutes) or Jakarta. Budget 6–10 hours door to door, and ask for 3–4 hour hub connections in wet season.
- Sorong ground plan. The airport is 15–20 minutes by car from the ferry port. Paparisahomestay notes Grab and Gojek may not pick up at Sorong Airport or the harbour, so plan on a pre-arranged car.
- Fees and documents. The park card and regency levy are paid online via the Marine Park Authority portal or on site at Sorong harbour and the Waisai office, and are non-refundable once issued. Indonesia’s single digital arrival card with a QR code has applied since 1 Sep 2025.
- Confirm in writing. If the plan uses the public ferry, the Sorong–Waisai crossing takes about two hours; from 1 Sep 2026 it runs daily at 09:00 and 14:00 both ways, and only at 14:00 on public holidays.
Can I plan a 2027 trip now?
Yes. 2027 inquiries are welcome, with the same two essentials: dates and group size. July, August and Christmas weeks are requested first, and the park’s dated tickets mean the date is fixed before any boat name is. Fees quoted today may change after the Q4 2026 review, so any 2027 figure is confirmed closer to issue.
Who will I actually be dealing with?
Komodo Luxury’s reservations team, directly. Every departure is a whole-boat charter with captain, crew and private chef, on a customisable island-hopping itinerary anchored on Wayag, Piaynemo and Misool. Airlines operate the flights, and park and regency fees go to the issuing authorities. The site itself is published by Juara Holding Group. No figure on this page is a guaranteed price or outcome.
> Ready with dates? Message the Komodo Luxury reservations team on WhatsApp at +62 811 3823 875 or email [sales@komodoluxury.com](mailto:sales@komodoluxury.com). Send dates and group size first; the rest can follow in the same thread.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the quickest way to reach a Bali to Raja Ampat trip planner?
WhatsApp +62 811 3823 875 is the quickest channel, since you can send dates, group size and follow-up questions in one running thread. Email sales@komodoluxury.com suits longer guest lists or anything you need to forward. Both go to the Komodo Luxury reservations team, which replies directly rather than through a call centre.
Do I need exact dates before contacting the trip planner?
No, a month is enough for a first conversation. To book, though, exact dates are needed early, because Raja Ampat’s marine park works on dated tickets and the boat is matched after the date is fixed. If you are flexible, say so: the team can suggest days that line up with the weekly nonstop flight.
Can the planner help time my flight from Bali to Sorong?
Yes, routing is part of the first reply. As of September 2026 snapshots, Garuda GA 686 flies DPS–SOQ nonstop about once a week, landing at 05:40. Other days usually connect via Makassar or Jakarta. The team will suggest a day that lines up with Sorong ground transfers and your boat or ferry departure.
Should non-divers in my group still use the same inquiry?
Yes. List how many dive, snorkel or stay dry in the non-diver mix field. Every Komodo Luxury departure is a whole-boat charter with a customisable island-hopping itinerary, so the plan can include viewpoint and island stops such as Piaynemo and Wayag, plus extra Bali nights before or after for those who prefer land.
