Komodo National Park Fees

What you pay	Amount	Basis
Park entrance, foreign visitor	Rp 250,000 ≈ $14	per person, per visit Identical on weekdays and public holidays. Already includes trekking, wildlife observation and snorkelling inside the park.
Park entrance, Indonesian visitor, weekday	Rp 50,000 ≈ $3	per person, per visit Raised from Rp 35,000 in October 2024.
Park entrance, Indonesian visitor, weekend or public holiday	Rp 75,000 ≈ $4	per person, per visit The holiday uplift applies to the Indonesian rate only.
Park entrance, Indonesian student group	Rp 25,000 ≈ $1	per person, per day Group bookings only.
Scuba diving permit	Rp 25,000 ≈ $1	per diver, per day Charged on top of the entrance fee. Snorkelling is not charged separately.
Vessel entry	varies	Assessed on the engine capacity of the boat, so it is normally settled by the operator rather than by passengers.

Booking runs through SIORA, the park's own system, and is handled by a licensed operator before arrival. There is no ticket window at the gate.
A daily cap of 1,000 visitors applies across the park, split between Komodo, Rinca and Padar and the dive sites around them.
Entry runs in sessions rather than all day, which is why a boat's arrival time is set by the park and not by the crew.
A drone permit is separate, expensive, and has to be requested well in advance.

Statutory rates set by Peraturan Pemerintah No. 36 Tahun 2024, in force since 30 October 2024. Checked 25 August 2026. Amounts are payable in rupiah; dollar figures are converted at Rp 17,900 and rounded. A rise in the foreign rate was under government review in April 2026 and had not taken effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all the cabins really king beds?

The referenced cabin descriptions list king beds in all six guest cabins. The operator's current specification places two cabins on the upper deck and four on the lower deck; confirm the bedding for your chosen room.

What if two friends want separate beds?

The referenced cabin descriptions use king beds. Ask the operator whether any room can provide separate beds; a twin arrangement has not been verified.

How much does group size affect the price?

The published private charter card uses 1–6 and 7–12 guest bands. The minimum 3D2N package starts at approximately $4,080 in the first band. Shared 3D2N cabins start at about $405 per person; extra beds are quoted separately.

Is drone documentation included or not?

Documentation inclusions vary in the reference package material. Request a written confirmation of camera, drone and GoPro coverage for your selected shared or private trip.

How is she powered?

The current operator specification lists a Mitsubishi 8-cylinder M20 main engine, a Mitsubishi 4D30 22 kVA generator and cruising speed of 8–12 knots. It does not confirm that the boat's electrical supply runs entirely on solar power.

What safety equipment does she carry?

The published equipment list includes two 15-person life rafts, eight lifesavers, 36 life jackets, an oxygen tank, first aid and fire extinguishers. Navigation includes radar, echo sounder, GPS, VHF radio and a compass. Confirm the current safety inventory and certification with the operator.
