Gammara Phinisi
One traveller, two seats, and an honest list of unknowns
Updated 3 November 2026
A solo traveller on a Komodo phinisi needs a second guest: the open trip on Gammara Phinisi sells cabins to two, from IDR 7,100,000 (≈ USD 436) per person for 3D2N. A single price is not printed. Whether a lone guest pays a supplement or is paired is confirmed in writing before you pay.
Why fares begin at two guests
The open trip on Gammara sells cabins, not single berths. Every cabin holds 2 guests, the fares are per person with two sharing, and the minimum booking is 2. That is the rule, and we apply it as written.
Fares for 3D2N are IDR 8,100,000 (≈ USD 497) per person in Jasmine, IDR 7,850,000 (≈ USD 482) in Lily and IDR 7,100,000 (≈ USD 436) in a Deluxe cabin. The boat sails on Monday & Friday. A single price is not printed anywhere we have read, so this page prints none.
Underneath the rule is a plain reason. One bed, a king or a double, is made for two. A traveller who arrives alone has to be matched with a second guest, or has to pay for the second seat. Which of those applies is the part we do not yet know.
| Cabins | Deck | per person |
|---|---|---|
| Master Cabin Jasmine | Upper deck | IDR 8,100,000 (≈ USD 497) |
| Suite Cabin Lily | Upper deck | IDR 7,850,000 (≈ USD 482) |
| Deluxe Cabins Ivy, Azalea, Hazel and Iris | Lower deck | IDR 7,100,000 (≈ USD 436) |

Travelling alone: known, and not yet known
Known: the minimum booking is 2. The fares per person are above. A guide and documentation are included on the open trip. The meeting is at Komodo Airport or your hotel between 09:00 and 09:30, and the harbour return is about 12:00 on day 3.
Not yet known: whether a lone guest pays a supplement, whether a lone guest is paired with another traveller, and how a pairing would be decided. We do not guess. These are confirmed in writing before you pay, and you decide after reading the answer.
That order matters. Nothing is owed until the written answer has arrived and you have said yes. If the answer does not suit you, nothing has been lost but a few messages.
Departure dates for one traveller
Dates run on Monday & Friday, and the next is Friday, 6 November 2026. A Friday sailing returns on Sunday at about 12:00. A Monday sailing returns on Wednesday at the same hour. Pick the one that fits your flights, and book home after 15:00 on the last day.
Day 1 gives you Kelor's short hill, a snorkel and sunset at Kalong. Day 2 starts with Padar before sunrise, 25 to 45 minutes of climbing, and goes on to Pink Beach and a ranger walk on Komodo Island. Day 3 is Kanawa and the harbour. For a lone traveller, the group is the company, because the day is shared with the other guests.
The dates below are read as of the day printed on the page, and each is confirmed live on WhatsApp before you pay. We never show who else is aboard.
A friend, or both seats in a Deluxe
There are three ways through the minimum. The first is a friend: two seats, two people, no question. The second is the whole cabin to yourself, by paying for both seats. In a Deluxe cabin that is two seats at IDR 7,100,000 (≈ USD 436) each, a double bed, your own bathroom and air conditioning, and no sea view stated. Jasmine for one would be two seats at IDR 8,100,000 (≈ USD 497), with a king bed and a panoramic ocean view.
The third is the whole boat. A private charter for 1 to 6 guests is IDR 73,000,000 (≈ USD 4,479) for 3D2N, and it is the same figure for one guest as for six. It is a price for a party, and for a lone traveller it is hard to justify. We name it so you can see the edge.
Both seats in a cabin is a request, and we confirm availability and the price in writing. Park tickets are outside every figure, quoted as a package with your trip.
Questions worth asking before paying
- Is there a supplement for one guest, and what does it come to in rupiah?
- Would I share a cabin with another traveller, and who decides?
- Which of Jasmine, Lily and a Deluxe cabin is free on my date?
- What are the park tickets for my trip?
- When is the balance due, and how do I pay from abroad?
Send those to us on WhatsApp. We answer each in writing, and the answers are yours to keep. Passport or ID details are due seven days before sailing, and travel insurance is recommended.

FAQ
What does one traveller pay on the open trip, and who shares the cabin?
The fare is per person with two sharing, from IDR 7,100,000 (≈ USD 436) for 3D2N, and the minimum booking is 2. A single price is not printed. Whether a lone guest pays a supplement or is paired with another guest is confirmed in writing before you pay.
Can I pay for both seats and have the cabin to myself?
That is a request, not a printed product. Two seats in a Deluxe cabin would be 2 x IDR 7,100,000 (≈ USD 436), and we confirm availability, and the cabin, in writing before you pay. Jasmine and Lily are priced the same way, seat by seat.
Is a private charter for one guest possible?
The whole boat is priced by the band of 1 to 6 guests, so one guest pays IDR 73,000,000 (≈ USD 4,479) for 3D2N, the same as six. It is a charter price and not a price made for one. Park tickets, a guide and documentation are outside it.
