Let me show you the islands I love…

Ferdinand Ontu, Komodo Tour Planner in Labuan Bajo

While headquartered in Bali, I spent many years in the tour business. In 2013 my wife, two kids, and I moved back to the family farm on Flores Island where I was born. Since the world has opened up again after COVID, my new team has been making traveler’s dreams come true, here in the beautiful islands from Labuan Bajo to Bali. My dream is not to be the biggest tour  company . . . just the best Komodo tour planner!

Where is best place to exchange money in the islands?

You will get the best exchange rates in Bali and other larger Indonesian tourist destinations than here in our island world. Be prepared before you arrive. Cash speaks everywhere, especially Indonesian rupiah.

Do all the islands have ATMs?

Most villages on Flores Island have ATM. Only select restaurants and businesses accept credit cards.

Can you create a customized tour just for me?

Of course! I wouldn’t be a Cruise Komodo tour planner if I couldn’t! Luxury? Bare-bones? Somewhere in between? The more you let me know about your desires, your visiting time, your budget, and the number of travelers, the better I can plan exactly what you want.

Do the cabins on the boats have air conditioning?

Most do, some don’t. If you need air conditioning, I can arrange it. The boats in the area are very diverse, from traditionally old fashioned to absolute luxury.

What languages do your guides speak?

Most guides speak enough English to communicate well. If you want a guide who speaks a specific language, let me know and I will try to satisfy your request.

Is Cruise Komodo certified by an official travel organization?

Yes it is! Cruise Komodo is registered under PT. Frendosarthatour and officially certified by HPl, Himpunan Pramuwisata, the Tour Guide Association of Indonesia

What should I bring on your tours?

This depends on the tour, but here is a checklist for you. Sunglasses, sunblock, sunhat, sun visor, sandals, trekking shoes (water-resistant during the rainy season, long-sleeved shirt, pants, jacket or raincoat,  sleeping bag for overnight village tours, insect repellent, towel, swimming suit, flash light, video camera, replacement batteries and charger, extra memory cards, Indonesian SIM card for internet, personal toiletries and medicine, extra cash for gratuities and souvenirs, passport, visa, airline tickets, and that book you’ve been excited to read. Either pack your suitcase half-full or buy another one in the islands for all the treasures you’ll want to bring home.

What is the meaning of life?

Don’t worry. Be happy. Life is short. Make it wide! With Cruise Komodo, you’ll have a panoramic experience of island adventures to treasure forever!
