Planning a Diving Trip in Komodo?
We’ll help plan a trip you’ll never forget!
Komodo National Park entrance fees in 2026 are IDR 275,000 per diving day for foreign divers. This includes IDR 250,000 for park entrance and an additional IDR 25,000 diver surcharge that many fee guides leave out. Understanding the actual Komodo National Park entrance fees is essential when planning your diving trip to Labuan Bajo, especially if you intend to spend multiple days exploring the park’s underwater sites.
The bigger change is not just the price. Since 1 April 2026, visitors can no longer simply turn up and purchase a ticket at the entrance. Every visitor must be registered through the park’s online booking system before arrival, and registration must be handled by a licensed operator.
| Komodo National Park daily ticket | Per person, per day |
|---|---|
| Foreign visitor | IDR 275,000 |
| Indonesian visitor (KTP holder) | IDR 100,000 |
These are the complete daily Komodo National Park entrance fees, not a deposit or partial payment. This is the amount you pay in Indonesian rupiah here in Labuan Bajo. The fee is charged per calendar day inside Komodo National Park, not per individual dive or per trip. For example, if you plan three days of diving, you will need to pay three days of park entrance fees.
When searching for Komodo National Park entrance fees, you will commonly find IDR 250,000 quoted as the standard foreign visitor ticket price. However, that figure applies to general visitors exploring attractions such as Padar Island or the Komodo dragons. Divers must pay an additional IDR 25,000 per person per day on top of the standard entrance fee. This brings the total Komodo diving fees to IDR 275,000 per day for foreign divers.This additional charge explains why the actual Komodo National Park entrance fees for divers may be higher than the figures you initially find online.
Komodo National Park now operates an online reservation system called SiOra — Sistem Informasi Online Reservasi Wisata Alam. This is the park authority’s official reservation system and is completely separate from SSI or any diving agency. There are two important things to understand when planning your diving trip:
Registration closes before arrival. Visitors must be registered no later than the day before entering Komodo National Park.
You cannot register yourself. Passenger registration must be completed by a licensed operator using visitors’ passport details.
For example, if you arrive in Labuan Bajo in the afternoon and hope to join a diving trip the following morning, you are relying on your operator having enough time and registration capacity to process your details.
We do. When you book a diving trip with us, we collect the necessary details, handle your SiOra registration, and organise your Komodo National Park entrance fees. You simply pay the park fee to us in rupiah here in Labuan Bajo. You do not need to download anything, create an account, or navigate the reservation system yourself.
All we need are your passport details and sufficient notice before your diving trip. Providing these details when you make your booking is always better than waiting until the day before departure. If you are joining us for a fun diving trip, we include the registration arrangements as part of the service we organise for you. Since 1 April 2026, Komodo National Park has operated with a daily visitor cap of 1,000 people. The Ministry has described this limit as adaptive, and the park authority has adjusted the quota in stages during busier months.
For divers, this means that paying the Komodo National Park entrance fees alone does not guarantee access. Your place in the park is confirmed once your registration has been successfully processed. During peak travel periods, particularly July, August, Christmas, and New Year, visitor capacity can become a genuine limitation rather than just an administrative requirement.
The Komodo National Park entrance fees cover your entry into the national park. However, they do not automatically include other activities or services during your diving trip.
Here are some additional costs to consider:
Your diving experience: The boat, diving guide, tanks, and full diving equipment are included in our trip and course prices. You do not need to rent equipment separately, but these services are quoted separately from the park entrance ticket.
Ranger fees for trekking: If you plan to visit Komodo or Rinca Island for a dragon walk, a ranger must accompany your group. This is charged separately.
Harbour charges: Additional port or harbour fees may apply.
If you are combining diving with island exploration, remember that the Komodo Island Tour has its own costs in addition to the Komodo National Park entrance fees.
Komodo National Park entrance fees are paid in Indonesian rupiah. Although Labuan Bajo has several ATMs, they can run out of cash during peak season, and some machines may not accept certain foreign bank cards.
To avoid unnecessary stress on the morning of your diving trip, we recommend bringing enough cash to cover your park fees in advance rather than relying entirely on ATM withdrawals. For a four-day diving trip, foreign divers should budget approximately IDR 1,100,000 for Komodo National Park entrance fees alone.
The two most important things to organise in advance are the number of days you plan to spend inside Komodo National Park and your visitor registration. Make sure your operator receives your passport details early enough to complete the SiOra registration process without rushing. Planning a diving adventure in Komodo?
