To contact Raja Ampat Diving Tour, message the Komodo Luxury reservations team on WhatsApp at +62 811-3823-875 or email sales@komodoluxury.com. Send your travel dates, arrival flight into Sorong, certification level with logged dives, preferred format and group size. A complete brief lets the team check partner dive centres and liveaboards without a long back-and-forth.
Raja Ampat Diving Tour is arranged by Komodo Luxury. Bookings go straight to its reservations team, not to a call centre or a reseller.
One point of honesty before you write: Komodo Luxury is not a PADI dive centre. Every dive on a Raja Ampat itinerary is guided by a licensed partner dive centre or dive master. Komodo Luxury plans the trip, matches you to the right partner and vessel, and handles logistics.
How do I reach the Komodo Luxury concierge?
These are the only two booking channels for this site. Treat any other number or address using the Raja Ampat Diving Tour name with caution.

What should I include in my enquiry?
Seven details decide which sites, boats and formats are realistic for you. Put them in your first message and the quote comes back far more precise.
- Travel dates and flexibility. October to April is the main season. December to February brings peak visibility and the busiest, most expensive weeks.
- Arrival flight to Sorong. Airline, flight number and landing time at Domine Eduard Osok airport (SOQ). This shapes whether you cross to Waisai the same day or overnight in Sorong.
- Certification level and logged dives. Agency, level, total logged dives and the date of your last dive. Operators treat Cape Kri, Blue Magic and the Misool pinnacles as Advanced Open Water territory with drift experience.
- Preferred format. Day dive tour, dive-and-stay, or dive liveaboard. Say if you are undecided and want a recommendation.
- Number of nights. Include any nights you plan in Sorong or elsewhere in Indonesia.
- Group size and non-divers. Park fees apply to every guest, diver or not, so the team needs the full headcount.
- Nitrox, yes or no. If yes, mention your enriched air certification.

Which Raja Ampat diving options can I ask about?
The table below shows the formats the concierge arranges and the price guidance available as of 2026. All figures are indicative, subject to change, and must be confirmed at booking.
| Format | Typical length | Certification guidance | Indicative price (2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day dive tour from Waisai or Sorong | One day of guided dives | Open Water divers generally kept to 18–20 m and lower-current sites near Waisai; Advanced Open Water for Cape Kri and Blue Magic | Quoted per partner dive centre on request |
| Dive-and-stay package | Nights of your choice, diving with a partner centre | As above, set by the partner centre | Quoted on request |
| Luxury dive liveaboard | Multi-night; 7–10 days is common | Advanced Open Water plus current experience; some vessels ask for about 50 logged dives | Quote on request for the specific vessel, dates, duration, guest count and inclusions |
| Komodo plus Raja Ampat | About 5 days Komodo, then 7–10 days Raja Ampat | Advanced Open Water plus current experience | Quote on request for the specific vessel, dates, duration, guest count and inclusions |
Flights between Labuan Bajo and Sorong take about 3.5 hours, which is what makes the combined trip workable.
Which fees sit outside the quote?
Liveaboards usually charge Raja Ampat’s two visitor charges separately from the base price. According to 2026 fee summaries, they break down like this:
| Charge | International visitor | Indonesian citizen | Validity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marine park conservation card (Raja Ampat Marine Park Authority) | IDR 1,000,000 per person per year (Southwest Papua Governor Regulation No. 32 of 2024) | IDR 500,000 per person per year (IDR 250,000 for Papua-area ID holders from outside Southwest Papua; IDR 150,000 for Southwest Papua ID holders) | 12 months; children under 12 exempt |
| Regency entry ticket (Regent Regulation 34/2025, from 1 January 2026) | Confirm at booking | Confirm at booking | One visit only |
Both charges apply even on a single day trip.
How does booking work once I send a message?
- Send your brief by WhatsApp or email using the checklist above.
- Fit check. The team reviews your dates, certification and logged dives against the season and the sites you want. Expect a request for a photo of your card.
- Options and quote. You receive suitable formats and indicative pricing, with what is included and what is not (flights, park card, regency ticket).
- Written confirmation. Payment terms and cancellation conditions are set out in writing before you commit.
- Permits and transfers. Permits are usually processed by the operator, and the Sorong harbour crossing to Waisai by ferry or fast boat is arranged around your flight.
- Pre-trip briefing. Final itinerary, partner dive centre or vessel details, and what to bring. Partners may ask for proof of dive insurance.
How quickly will I hear back?
There is no guaranteed reply time, and this page will not pretend otherwise. WhatsApp is usually the quicker channel. The team works from Labuan Bajo on Central Indonesia Time (UTC+8), so messages sent overnight in Europe or the Americas are read the next working day there.
Simple questions often get a fast answer. Liveaboard dates, whole-vessel availability and dive-and-stay combinations take longer, because the team confirms directly with partner dive centres and vessel owners before quoting.
Timing matters more than speed. Guides advise booking liveaboards and luxury packages 4–6 months ahead for October–April travel. If a few days pass without a reply, resend the same brief on the other channel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest way to contact a Raja Ampat diving tour operator?
WhatsApp is usually fastest. Message Komodo Luxury at +62 811-3823-875 using click-to-chat and include your dates, certification and preferred format. Email to sales@komodoluxury.com suits longer briefs and group trips. No reply time is guaranteed, and liveaboard or whole-vessel requests take longer because availability is confirmed with partner dive centres and vessel owners first.
Do I need to share my dive certification when I first enquire?
Yes, it saves time. Send your agency, level, total logged dives and last dive date. Sites such as Cape Kri, Blue Magic and the Misool pinnacles are treated as Advanced Open Water territory with drift experience, and some liveaboards ask for about 50 logged dives. Without this, the team cannot confirm which sites or vessels suit you.
Can I enquire if some people in my group do not dive?
Yes. Tell the team how many divers and non-divers are travelling, because the marine park card and regency entry ticket apply to every guest. Non-divers can often snorkel, and Wayag is chiefly a karst viewpoint and snorkelling destination. The team will suggest a format, such as a liveaboard or dive-and-stay, that works for mixed groups.
Are Raja Ampat park fees included in the quote I receive?
Usually not on liveaboards, which tend to list them separately. International visitors pay the marine park card (IDR 1,000,000 per person per year under Southwest Papua Governor Regulation No. 32 of 2024) plus the regency entry ticket. Your quote will state clearly what is included. Confirm the current figures at booking.
