Komodo National Park charges a daily entrance fee, a ranger-accompaniment fee at each island stop, and a conservation contribution via the SiORA booking platform. The fees are separate from your charter cost and are paid per person, per day inside the park.
The Komodo park authority raised the foreign-tourist entrance fee from USD 100 to USD 200 per day at the start of 2026, with the additional revenue earmarked for ranger training, anti-poaching patrols, and habitat restoration. Indonesian-citizen rates remain at IDR 5,000/day. The SiORA conservation fee was introduced in 2024 as a separate line item.
Important: the daily fee is charged for every calendar day the boat is inside the park. A 3D2N charter that enters the park on Day 1 morning and exits Day 3 afternoon is charged for 3 days per guest.
For private charters: fees are added as a separate line on your final invoice, calculated based on actual days inside the park. The charter operator pays the park on your behalf at the entry point. You will see a receipt issued by the park authority.
For open trips: fees are typically excluded from the per-seat price and collected on Day 1 boarding (in cash, USD or IDR). Confirm at booking.
Tip: bring small USD bills (20s and 50s) for any extras — ranger gratuities, ad-hoc activity fees — that aren’t prepaid.
Day trips that stay outside the park boundary (Kanawa, Bidadari, Sebayur, the Labuan Bajo day-trip route) carry no park entrance fees. Any itinerary that enters the park — Padar, Komodo, Rinca, Pink Beach, Manta Point, Taka Makassar, Gili Lawa, Kalong — triggers the daily fee.
All fees listed in USD. Fees are paid per person, per day inside the park. Rates last updated for the 2026 season — subject to revision by the park authority.

The park authority redirected the revenue to ranger training, anti-poaching, and habitat protection. Officials cited the dragon population’s vulnerability and pressure on the coral reefs from a tenfold rise in visitor numbers since 2010.
