Is the Komodo National Park fee per day or per visit?

By Komodo National Park Fee Editorial Desk

Sourced figures: fees in the table carry their source and check month. They are official or third-party figures, not our offers, and they change. This guide is not the park authority.

The Komodo National Park fee is per day, not per visit: the park authority's poster prices the tourist entrance ticket per person per day. The cost therefore grows with days and heads, and the poster has no island line. How a final morning counts is an operator's reading, because no official day-count rule is cited.

Is the Komodo National Park fee per day?

Yes. The poster prices both the foreign tourist ticket and the Indonesian tourist ticket per person per day. It has no per-visit line for tourists, so one ticket does not buy a stay of several days. It has no per-island line either, a point taken up below.

The poster states the unit without explaining it, and the daily logic runs through the law as well as the poster. The appendix to Government Regulation 36/2024 charges its fine for entering without a ticket on a daily basis too, for each person or unit and each day, as the PP 36/2024 page sets out.

Official lines are on the entrance fee list.

How does it add up across days?

The sum for tourist entrance is short: people, times days inside the park, times the rate for that traveller group. The price table on this page has the foreign rate and the lower Indonesian rate, and the full tariff list adds the Sunday and holiday line. The day count is the part that needs care, and these worked shapes show where the answer forks.

The third row is the one to settle in writing, since the gap between the two answers is a full day's ticket for every person on board.

A daily ticket figure is also not a daily trip budget. Indonesia's tourism ministry site leaves boats, accommodation and tour operator services outside the tariff. If you are working out the total cost of a day in the park, the ticket is one input, and the larger items sit elsewhere. Who pays the ticket on a tour is a question of its own, covered on the page on whether the fee is included in a tour.

Does one day's ticket cover several islands?

The poster has no island line, and no official text cited here says in terms whether one day's ticket is valid at several gates. Sellers describe it in opposite ways. Neptune Liveaboards says the single daily ticket covers a ranger walk on Rinca, the Padar viewpoint and snorkelling. Its ranger wording does not settle the guide charge: the park publishes a separate guide tariff for Loh Buaya. Dragon Dive Komodo lists island entry fees on top of a base ticket, and Phinisi Trip prints island tickets in dollars, which conflict with the poster and the tourism ministry site. Confirm in SiOra or with the park before you accept a second state ticket for one date, and ask any seller to name the poster line behind it.

Do days outside the park boundary count?

One operator says no. Neptune Liveaboards says the fee follows days inside the boundary, and that the first afternoon and final morning can fall partly outside. The poster gives no boundary rule of its own, so treat this as one seller's reading and a check to run: ask for the route with dates, mark which days are inside the boundary, and compare that with the dates on your tickets. Do not drop a day from your tickets on this reading alone.

Does the last morning count?

That depends on who you ask, and the answer on hand comes from a seller. Operator Ocean Earth Travels says that on multi-day liveaboards the fee applies per person for each day inside the park, and that a final day ending in the morning is generally not counted. "Generally" is the operator's own hedge. The poster says per person per day and stops there, so another seller may count differently without breaking anything the poster says.

Two official points make the count more than a formality. First, tickets are tied to dates: the park authority wants the e-ticket date to match the booked visit. Second, the poster rules out cancellation and refund. Buying a day you end up not using is therefore money you should not expect to recover. The fine mentioned above is stated per person or unit per day. No source cited here says how it treats a final morning, so settle the dates before you pay.

The safest reading is the one that can be seen in the paperwork. Ask to see which calendar dates the tickets will carry, and compare them with the dates your boat will be inside the park. If the two do not match, ask why before you pay, not on the last morning.

Which tickets use other units?

The per-day habit does not carry over to every line. Several tickets on the poster count something else, which is why a multi-day estimate built from one line alone can be well off in either direction.

On diving, one conflict is worth knowing. Antara reported the park head describing the diving ticket as per activity, while the poster and the regulation's table both say per person per day. The regulation and poster are the stronger sources. Operator Komodo Resort follows the daily reading and says the diving surcharge accumulates for each diving day on a multi-day trip.

The boat line deserves a note because a passenger may never see it as a separate item. It is priced per unit per day, in bands by engine power, so a longer trip costs more in boat tickets even if the passenger list stays the same. The sport fishing and commercial video lines work differently again, and a film crew on a three-day shoot at one location is priced by package and location, not by multiplying a daily figure.

How should you ask for a day count?

Ask for dates, not a number of days. "Three days" can mean three tickets or two, while a list of dates can only mean one thing. A short message covers it:

1. Which calendar dates will the entrance tickets for each person carry?
2. Do you count the final morning as a ticketed day, and on what basis?
3. Are the tickets inside your price or a separate line, and is the boat ticket treated the same way?
4. If diving is included, how many scuba tickets per diver, on which dates?
5. For Indonesian travellers, which dates are charged at the higher rate?

A seller who answers with dates has done the sum and can be checked against the poster. A seller who answers only with a total has given you something you cannot verify, and it is fair to ask for the breakdown before you commit. Foreign travellers can run the same sum on the page for foreigners, and the checking guide turns it into a worksheet. Before either, make sure your dates have places on the quota page, and if nobody is registering you, see whether you can book tickets yourself. The Komodo National Park fee overview shows how the daily ticket relates to every other charge.

What else do people ask about daily fees?

How much is the Komodo National Park fee per day?

It depends on the traveller group. The foreign line and the weekday Indonesian line are in the price table on this page, each stated per person per day, and Indonesian tourists pay more on Sundays and holidays. Multiply by people and days inside the park, then add any activity or boat lines that apply.

How much is the Komodo National Park fee per person?

The tourist entrance line is a per-person figure, but it applies again each day. For one person the total is the daily line times the days counted, plus an activity ticket such as scuba diving where relevant.

Is the Komodo fee per day or per visit?

Per day. The poster's unit for tourist entrance tickets is per person per day, and no per-visit line appears on it.

How much does a three-day Komodo National Park ticket cost?

Three times the daily line if all three days count. Operator Ocean Earth Travels says a final day ending in the morning is generally not counted on liveaboards, which would make it two. No official rule settles that, so get the dates in writing.

How do I reach the desk?

The desk can look at a day count with you for a request, though it does not issue tickets and cannot rule on how the park counts a day. Requests can lead to a paid booking, so we have a commercial interest. A written offer binds only the seller; it does not change how the park counts a day.
