Indo Aggressor Itineraries:
The 7-, 10- and 11-night liveaboard cruises feature enhanced itineraries that allow guests more time diving and more time in the signature areas.
The Indo Aggressor offers multiple itineraries to several different areas, with each departing from a different island/port. The Indo Aggressor has chosen the best time of year to be in these different areas. It is important to know which itinerary you have chosen and the embark/disembark locations. Guests are encouraged to arrive at least one day prior to the charter start date regardless of the trip you are on. Water temperatures can vary greatly within the areas, ranging from a low of 72°F (22°C) in the south to a high of 84°F (29°C) in the northern region.
The Indo Aggressor aims to return to port on the evening prior to disembarkation. Final disembarkation will occur between 8 a.m.-1 p.m. at the end of the charter. Please remember the suggested 24-hour no-fly rule when planning your departure.
Getting There, Passports
& Visa Documentation:
The Komodo National Park Indonesia is part of the Republic of Indonesia and is 8 to 9 degrees south of the equator between Java Indonesia on the west and Lombok Indonesia and the rest of the Lesser Sunda Islands Indonesia (Sumbawa, Flores, Sumba and Timor) on the east.
Airlines fly into Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Denpassar Indonesia: Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, China Air, Eva Airways, and Qatar Airways. An overnight in a Bali hotel is required before boarding a domestic flight to Labuan Bajo where you will meet the Indo Aggressor.
Visitors must have a current passport (two blank pages), adequate funds to support themselves, and a return airline ticket. U.S. citizens require a passport that must be valid for six months from date of entry. It is the travelers’ responsibility to ensure they have the proper visa to travel into each country on his or her itinerary as well as for re-entry and return to their country. Since regulations vary by country, contact your consulate or embassy of your country for the requirements.
Komodo National Park: (7- or 10-Night Charters)
Arrival to the Indo Aggressor will involve a round-trip domestic flight from Bali to the Komodo Airport near the city of Labuan Bajo (city code LBJ) on Flores Island in the East Nusa Tenggara province in Indonesia. Since the majority of the Indonesian domestic air carriers do not participate in global ticket distribution, Aggressor Liveaboards has arranged with a local Indonesia travel company to provide a purchasing service for the domestic tickets on our guests’ behalf. Guests may board the Indo Aggressor at 1 p.m. for a scheduled 5 p.m. departure. Guests should arrange to take one of the two available morning flights.
Once you have claimed your luggage in Labuan Bajo Airport you will need to show your claim tickets. An agent wearing an Aggressor Liveaboards polo shirt will be waiting for you outside the claim area for those who have arranged this transfer in advance. The Indo Aggressor aims to return to port on the evening prior to disembarkation. Final check out is between 8 a.m.-1 p.m. at the end of the charter. Guests will be transported to the Labuan Bajo airport for a domestic flight back to Bali. We recommend at least two hotel nights be built into your travels; one upon arrival between the international and domestic legs of your trip, and one on your journey home between the domestic and international legs.
