We do understand that some guests flights may arrive on the day of departure, if this is the case, please arrange that your flight lands in Labuan Bajo (Komodo) or Sorong (Raja Ampat) no later than the 09:00.

With regard to private full boat charters, we are more than happy to be flexible with your desired embarkation time. Please ensure you make us aware in due course at the time of communication with our office based staff.

For the benefit of arranging your return flights, below are approximate times that the vessel arrives back in the port on the day of disembarkation;

Raja Ampat: 06:00
Komodo: 05:00

Please note, these times are not guaranteed by Pindito based on factors including vessel and weather conditions. WE WILL ALWAYS TRY OUR BEST TO DELAY SO THAT EVERYONE HAS A FAIR CHANCE TO GET ON BOARD ON TIME. DEPARTURE TIMES ARE NOT SO STRICT BUT INDEED IT IS RECCOMENDED TO ARRIVE AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE

YES

If you arrive on the day of departure, then we will collect you from the Airport and head directly to Pindito, gratis. Please be advised that the latest time your flight can land for both Komodo and Raja Ampat is 09:00, this should ensure that you don’t miss the departure time.

ENGLISH AND INDONESIAN

11:00 a.m

Yes, and we can often offer better discounts than you will find going directly to the hotel, or online.

During the process of confirming your trip with us, please let one of our team know and we will do our best to find something in your budget.

*Please note that this service is only available to customers booking directly with Pindito.

YES

Indonesia is very much dependent on tourism, and the government continues to invest heavily not just in safety, but in logistics, ensuring that trips go as smoothly as they possibly can.

Due to the vessel’s location on the equator, it would be sensible to bring a hat, some longer sleeved/legged clothes to protect your arms and legs from the sun, and a decent pair of sun glasses. At night however, the temperatures can drop somewhat, so we advise maybe a warm-ish jumper if you intend on spending much time on deck stargazing.

Onboard it is safest to go barefoot as our decking can often get wet, and the anti-slip treatments we use are significantly more effective against bare skin. It is also advisable to bring some sturdy footwear for the light / mild treks that we go on. A thin raincoat would also be advisable, or you can just live in your wetsuit 24/7!!!

Facilities

What cabin types do you offer?

Pindito has 8 Cabin types to suit everyone.

Our Deluxe Cabins are located on our lower deck. In total there are 8 cabins that can easily and very comfortably accommodate 16 people. These spaces are great options for anyone who gets the occasional sea sickness due to how low they sit in the vessel against the water line. Both Twin & Double bed arrangements are available in these cabins.

All our cabins are equipped with A/C, and each cabin has an ensuite bathroom with a marine toilet and hot freshwater showers. We provide towels for both your cabin and diving, so you always have a clean, dry towel on hand. We will provide you with fresh bed sheets at least every 3 days, depending on the length of your trip.

If you get frustrated with carrying plug converters, then do not worry, all of the sockets on Pindito are fully universal and come with USB ports as well, for ease of charging your phone, cameras and Laptops.

We kindly request that no electrical items are left unattended whilst charging in your cabin.

Head on over to our boat page and check out the boat and see some images of the cabin types.

NO MINIMUM AGE, WE CAN EVEN HIRE A NANNY FOR THE TRIP AT EXTRA COST OF PASSANGER TO HAVE FULL TIME SUPERVISION OF THE CHILD.

There is limited cellular and internet coverage in remote areas such as Raja Ampat and Komodo. Raja Ampat has slightly better service than in the past due to new telecommunication towers placed around the region; this, however, is still not perfect and very intermittent.

If you need internet access during your trip, our crew are very familiar with the locations where we can obtain a signal.
WE HAVE STARLINK ON BOARD USD25 PER PERSON TO ACCESS FOR THE WHOLE TRIP
If you prefer to have a cellular connection, you can purchase a local sim card at most Indonesian International Airports or local shops, we can also arrange this for you for a small fee, so it is ready for you when you get to Pindito. Telkomsel is the best choice for sim cards in Indonesia. This sort of SIM card will cost you around $5.

Don’t forget to buy your phone & internet credit. $15/$20 (200 – 300,000 Rp ) is usually enough credit for data based calls and basic internet service.

To get cheaper rates for overseas calling, you need to dial either 01017 before your country code, e.g.; (01017) (country code) (phone number)

NO, SHOULD WE APPLY THIS? CAN BUY ONE IN EACH CABIN IF EDI AGREES

YES

The material used in the construction of these vessels by no means denotes otherwise. The maritime industry is huge in the archipelago of Indonesia, and wooden vessels are scrutinised as stringently as those made from fibre glass/ steel.

The stylings of the vessel can be linked to two origins, that of an Indonesian ‘Phinisi’ which is still manufactured today to cargo goods and for fishing, and a ‘schooner’. these two styles have been fused to create a boat that is both great for comfort, and longer voyages.

Health

Do people often get seasick?

If you feel you may suffer from seas sickness then we recommend you to carry your preferred medication. We also stock an ample amount of sea-sickness medication onboard, just in case you happen to need them.

However, highly recommend herbal alternatives, that most guests seem to have better success with than most prescribed medicines, the name of this preferred product is ‘Tolak Angin’ if you wish to do some prior research.

If you have the following medical conditions, then we would require a signed medical certificate from your doctor to say that you are fit for diving. We would also need to see proof that you have valid dive and medical insurance, and both include emergency evacuation.

Asthma in the last ten years
Diabetes
Thyroid disease or no Thyroid
Use Anti-Depressants
High blood pressure

Any guest that suffers from sleep apnea, and must use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine at night, must be traveling with a companion willing to share the cabin with them or book a cabin at single occupancy at the standard + 65% surcharge.

*If you feel other medical reasons that could potentially affect your diving then please let us know in advance so that if we need to make special arrangements we can.

Pindito stocks a large inventory of both diving and non diving first aid equipment. There is also a 12+ hour bank of emergency breathing oxygen onboard, as well as an AED (defibrillator).

All crew department heads onboard are required to be trained in emergency responder protocols.

During your stay onboard Pindito you will find that you will very likely not find any mosquitos onboard, as they tend to avoid/struggle to navigate the surface breezes over the ocean, and much prefer stagnant, fresh, water.

You are much more likely to encounter sand fleas on the land tours/beach visits we conduct, but these are more of an irritation that a health concern.

YES

We have a full range of diving and snorkelling equipment on board, and all our snorkelling equipment is free of charge as well as some of our diving equipment. A full set of diving equipment is $35 per person, per day.

This is a subjective question, but the answer for most divers is;

Komodo – 3 to 5mm Long Suit

Raja Ampat – 3mm Shorty / Rash Guard

Pindito has aluminum 12L and 15L tanks with both DIN and Yoke tanks valves, and adapters. Our 15L tanks are available for $50 for the whole trip (up to 6 tanks a day).

If needs be, the Cruise Director will also join the groups if a guest / group of guests requires / requests a private guide.


Each of our dive guides brings something a little unique with their knowledge and experience, so we alternate the dive guides everyday when heading to the dive sites, this is to try and make sure that every guest gets the most from their trip.

When arranging groups, we try and match the number of dives and certifications to ensure everyone gets the best experience possible.

NO MINIMUM REQUIREMENT, JUST BE CERTIFIED

If Pindito dive crew or you find that you are not confident or capable with the diving conditions during the trip, we can assist you in water in the hope to regain some of your in-water confidence.

NO MINIMUM REQUIREMENT, JUST BE CERTIFIED

The short answer is we are not, we just ask that you bring, or purchase from us onboard, a ‘reef safe’ sunscreen.

Most, if not all of the sunscreens you buy over the counter include Oxybenzone, a chemical ingredient that can lead to coral bleaching, damage the DNA of corals, and increase abnormal growth and deformities.

Food & Drink

What type of food do you serve?

All meals onboard are a mixture of Indo-Asian fusion & Western cuisine and are presented as a buffet. In the case that you have specific dietary requirements, then we will do our best to plate your meals individually, especially in cases where a guest may suffer from allergies.

Our fantastic team of chefs are more than happy to prepare delicious vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free dishes when given the opportunity. and we can substitute meat/fish dishes for soy alternatives.

* If you do not make Pindito aware before departure of certain dietary requirements, it may be difficult for us to cater for you due to limited storage capabilities for stock.

** Pindito cannot guarantee that any of our meals or snacks may contain traces of palm origin products or peanuts. If you suffer from severe allergies to either of the aforementioned, we would suggest not holidaying within Indonesia.
