“This tour requires booking at least 4 months in advance. However, for peak months such as June, July, and August, a minimum of 5 months’ advance booking is necessary due to the limited availability of ships cruising from Lombok to Komodo. Additionally, if you prefer a private cabin, early reservation is essential to secure your spot.”
