Komodo National Park Fees – Updated Guide for Visitors

When planning a trip to Komodo National Park, one of the most common questions travelers ask is: “How much are the Komodo National Park fees?”
Like all national parks in Indonesia, there are entrance and activity fees that apply for both land and marine activities. These costs can sometimes be confusing, as certain charges are shared among groups, while others are calculated per person per day. To help you budget correctly, here is a complete breakdown of Komodo Island tour fees, diving surcharges, and ranger costs.

Komodo Island Entrance Fees

Komodo Marine Park Ticket

IDR 250,000 per person, per day
Applies to all visitors entering the marine park, whether for snorkeling, diving, or sightseeing.

Harbour Fee

IDR 25,000 per person
Paid when entering the port.
For day trips, this fee is typically charged daily.
For liveaboards (multi-day trips), it is usually paid once for the entire trip.

💡 Tip: Some tour operators include these charges in their package price, while others list them separately. Always confirm in advance to avoid surprises.

Komodo Diving Fees

For those joining scuba diving trips in Komodo, there are additional charges on top of the regular park entrance ticket.

Scuba Diving Surcharge: IDR 25,000 per diver, per day.
Total Diving Fee per Day: IDR 275,000 (approx. €15) – this includes the marine park ticket + diving surcharge.

These fees apply whether you are joining a day trip dive boat or a multi-day liveaboard diving cruise.

Komodo Island Ranger Fees

When visiting Komodo Island, Rinca Island, or Padar Island for trekking or wildlife viewing, a licensed ranger must accompany all guests. This is both for safety and conservation.

Ranger Fees (Shared among up to 5 guests):

Padar Island Trekking: IDR 150,000
Komodo Island / Rinca Island (Komodo Dragons): IDR 200,000

💡 Since the fee is shared, if you travel in a small group the cost may be higher per person compared to larger groups.

Important Notes on Komodo Fees

Liveaboard trips often bundle these fees into the overall package price. Always ask your operator for a full breakdown.
Day trip operators may list the park entrance separately from the tour price.
Fees are set by the Indonesian government and may change without notice.
Children may sometimes qualify for reduced fees.

Why the Fees Matter

These entrance and ranger fees go directly toward:

Conservation of Komodo dragons and their habitat
Marine life protection (coral reefs, manta rays, turtles, etc.)
Salaries for rangers and park staff
Community development around Komodo National Park

By paying these fees, you directly contribute to preserving one of the world’s most unique ecosystems.
