Visiting Komodo National Park involves navigating a complex fee structure that has seen significant changes recently. In 2026, the park transitioned to a consolidated ticket system managed through the SiORA application, aiming to streamline the process and manage visitor quotas.
The 2026 Consolidated Ticket System
The previous system of itemized charges (entry, ranger, conservation, activity) has largely been replaced by a bundled ticket per route. This simplifies budgeting for your trip.
Current Reported Rates (as of early 2026):
| Route | Consolidated Fee (per person) | What it Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Komodo Island Route | IDR 650,000 | Park entry, ranger access, visits to Komodo Island, Padar Island, and Pink Beach. |
| Rinca Island Route | IDR 900,000 | Rinca Island entry and trekking, Padar Island access, ranger fees for both islands, snorkeling, and local conservation contributions. |
Note: These figures are widely reported by Labuan Bajo operators but are subject to official confirmation from BTNK (Komodo National Park Authority). Always verify current rates with your tour operator.
Domestic vs. International Fees
The fee structure maintains a distinction between domestic Indonesian visitors and international tourists.
- International Visitors: The consolidated tickets mentioned above apply. If itemized fees are still used by some operators, expect to pay approximately IDR 250,000 per day for base entry, plus conservation and activity fees.
- Domestic Visitors: Indonesian citizens pay significantly lower rates, typically around IDR 50,000–70,000 for base entry, or IDR 350,000–400,000 for bundled tickets. A valid KTP or KITAS is required.
The SiORA App and Visitor Quotas
A crucial change in 2026 is the mandatory use of the SiORA application for booking entry permits. Walk-in tickets are no longer available.
- Daily Quota: The park enforces a strict limit of 1,000 visitors per day.
- Advance Booking: You must pre-book your permit via SiORA or through your tour operator. Peak season slots (July-October) fill up months in advance.
What Your Fees Support
The fees collected fund essential park operations, including:
- Habitat maintenance and wildlife monitoring programs.
- Ranger salaries (mandatory guides for all trekking routes).
- Enforcement of no-fishing zones and marine conservation efforts.
