Line by line

What shapes the cost

Core costs are the stay, the transfers and the guided days on the water, all bundled in our trip price. Everything else is a personal expense.

  1. Largest line

    Accommodation

    Your primary expense: over-water villas and resorts on Derawan, Maratua and near Kakaban. The stay sets the private trip price.

  2. Transfers

    Getting there

    Fly (booked by you) to Kalimarau Airport (BEJ) in Berau, then about 2.5 – 3 h by car to the jetty and a speedboat of about 40 minutes.

  3. On the water

    Diving

    Our Derawan trips are snorkel-based; scuba diving is not included. The guide explains what the dive sites offer certified divers.

  4. On the water

    Snorkelling

    Multiple spots, including the Kakaban lake of non-stinging jellyfish, with boat, guide and equipment.

  5. Food

    Dining

    Fresh seafood with Indonesian spices. Our trips include 6 meals on the 3D2N and 9 on the 4D3N; anything beyond those is a personal expense.

  6. Optional

    Extras

    Resort extras such as spa treatments are personal expenses. Documentation is already included in our trips.

  7. Paperwork

    Visa & fees

    Many international visitors need a visa on arrival. Entrance fees are included in our Private Trip and Open Trip.

  8. Resort bills

    Tax & service

    Resorts add government tax and a service charge to most bills: ask whether a quoted price includes them.
