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.
No — the fee is strictly per person, per day. There is no multi-day or weekly pass.
Indonesian nationals (KTP holders) pay IDR 5,000/day plus separate ranger and mooring fees in IDR. Bring your KTP — foreign-rate fees will apply without ID proof.
Yes — children pay roughly half the adult foreign rate (USD 100/day). Toddlers (under 3) are typically free; confirm at the park entry.
No — fees are paid on entry and non-refundable.
No tariff revision for 2027 has been announced as of this season — the 2026 table above continues to apply until the park authority publishes an update, and this page is revised the day that happens. Budget planning for 2027 trips can safely use current figures with a small contingency; the structure (entry, trekking, ranger, activity and boat lines, foreigner and domestic tiers) has been stable since the SiORA system launched.
Entry, trekking, ranger and activity fees are per person; mooring and boat-entry lines are per vessel and sit inside your charter quote. Every line is itemized on our quotes so you can check them against the official table above.
Yes. Park entry gets you into the park’s waters; the guided dragon trek on Komodo or Rinca carries its own trekking and ranger lines. Skipping them at booking is the most common cause of ranger-station delays.
Yes — the official table separates foreigner and domestic (WNI) tiers across most lines. Mixed groups pay per passport, not per booking.
Through SiORA before your visit date — ideally the moment your charter is confirmed. Peak-season quota days close early; the SiORA Komodo booking guide covers timing in detail.
They are itemized separately on every quote — deliberately, so you can verify each line against this official table instead of trusting a bundled number. The boat-side figures live on the 2026 charter rate card; the permit walkthrough is in the how to book the Komodo entry permit online guide.
