About This Tour

The whole boat, yours. Same vessel as our open trip, same crew, same destinations โ€” but you've got the entire Phinisi and you set the schedule. Wake up when you want, snorkel where you want, anchor where you want.

The pricing flips the math: a group of 10 pays IDR 140,000,000 total for the 3D2N (under IDR 14,000,000 per person โ€” less than the open trip's mid-tier cabin). Each extra person up to a max of 21 is IDR 4,500,000. So you can have an extended-family reunion on a Phinisi for not much more than a Bali villa.

We offer this in two durations: 2D1N (IDR 120M) and 3D2N (IDR 140M, the most popular). Longer trips can be arranged on request โ€” just WhatsApp us.

  • Why book the private charter:
  • You want a custom itinerary (a wedding photoshoot, a freediving expedition, a kids' birthday, a corporate retreat, a proposal)
  • You're a group of 6+ and the per-person math is better than the open trip
  • You want to sleep in, eat at your hours, and not coordinate with strangers
  • Honeymoon, anniversary, or you just don't want to share

Free perk on the 3D2N charter: we set up a private beach dinner on a hidden cove one evening. Tables, lights, a chef, no other guests.

Asik Travel handles the entire trip end-to-end: itinerary design, airport transfers, dietary requirements, photographer (optional add-on), KNP fees, drone permits.

    2. 10:30

      Cruise to a calm snorkel site

      Sebayur, Siaba, or your pick โ€” gentle reef, easy entry, warm-up before the bigger sites.
