About this trip

Gandiva is a wooden phinisi luxury-class boat running 3 days 2 nights sharing open trips out of Labuan Bajo, with 5 cabins. You pay per person rather than chartering the whole boat: Bima Room at IDR 8,800,000, Yudishtira Room at IDR 8,800,000, Nakula Room at IDR 9,850,000, Sadewa Room at IDR 9,850,000, Arjuna Room at IDR 11,100,000. The cabin is what changes, the route does not.

Paid separately in cash on site: the Komodo National Park entry fee, IDR 250,000 for Indonesian visitors and IDR 650,000 for foreign visitors, plus the ranger fee.

Departure dates and remaining seats are listed on this page. If your dates are not fixed yet, message us on WhatsApp before paying a deposit.

Cabins

Arjuna Room Gandiva

Arjuna Room

2 pax

The priciest cabin on board, and the one the operator calls the master bedroom. They have not sent a photo of the room yet, so what you see here is its ensuite: the window opens onto the sea, the shower sits above. Ask on WhatsApp if you want to see the room before paying.

Book this cabinRp 11.100.000/pax
Nakula Room Gandiva

Nakula Room

2 pax

Its double bed sits against three big windows facing the sea, so the water is in view while you are still lying down. The headboard is a green and gold geometric wood panel, the only one on this boat. Same price as Sadewa, and these two are the cabins the operator calls ocean view.

Book this cabinRp 9.850.000/pax
Sadewa Room Gandiva

Sadewa Room

2 pax

Nakula’s twin: same price, same double bed, and the same sea view through two large windows beside the bed. A carved timber panel sits above the headboard. Either one works; the difference is the number of windows and the wall panel.

Book this cabinRp 9.850.000/pax
Bima Room Gandiva

Bima Room

2 pax

IDR 1,050,000 cheaper than the ocean-view cabins, and the view is what you give up: no sea windows here, just one small round porthole in the wall. The rest is full timber, with a bedside table, sockets and a reading light. Its ensuite has a pillar shower and a basin.

Book this cabinRp 8.800.000/pax
Yudishtira Room Gandiva

Yudishtira Room

2 pax

Same price as Bima, so this is the joint-cheapest cabin on board. The operator has not sent a photo of the room; what exists is its ensuite, with a shower and a basin. Ask on WhatsApp if you want to see the room before paying.
