Часто Задаваемые Вопросы

Can I combine Komodo and Raja Ampat in one charter?+

Yes! Extended 10–14 day voyages via the Banda Sea connect both destinations. This expedition-style charter is our most exclusive offering.

Which destination is better for beginners?+

Komodo is more accessible — closer to Bali, shorter minimum duration, and easier logistics. Raja Ampat is more remote but equally rewarding for non-divers thanks to incredible snorkelling and scenery.

Which is better for diving?+

Raja Ampat has the world's highest marine biodiversity, but Komodo offers more adrenaline-pumping drift dives. Both are world-class — serious divers should visit both.

Which is more expensive?+

Raja Ampat charters typically cost 20–40% more due to remote logistics, longer minimum durations, and marine park permits. Komodo offers better value for shorter trips.
