FUEL SURCHARGE
Due to the massive increase of fuel prices around the world, especially Indonesia where the fuel price is increasing upto 30-40% from the beginning of the year, It results to an unavoidable circumstance to implement fuel surcharge on trips starting from 26 October 2022 onwards.
Below is the list of fuel surcharges based on each destination.
Ambon-Banda sea |
USD 200/person |
Crossing route : Maumere-Alor-Lamalera-Banda-Ambon |
USD 220/person |
Crossing route : Ambon-Banda-Raja Ampat |
USD 200/person |

Raja Ampat- Misool & Misool-Blue Water Mangrove |
USD 180/person |
Alor-Maumere and revert |

We sincerely hope that the situation of fuel price will get back to the lower level until we can terminate the fuel surcharge in the nearest future.
