Method

How booking works

  1. 01

    Send the basics.

    Dates, group size, each guest's swim confidence, and any Wayag or Misool preference.

  2. 02

    Fix the date first.

    The park works on dated tickets, so the date is set before a boat is named.

  3. 03

    Choose boat or land base.

    A vessel or partner property matched to the route.

  4. 04

    Book the flight leg.

    Match the nonstop's weekday, or take a one-stop with a wet-season buffer.

  5. 05

    Pay the park fees.

    Online or on site; non-refundable once issued.

  6. 06

    Add Bali nights.

    One rest night before the overnight flight, one recovery night after.
