Frequently Asked Pre-Contact Questions
Do you charge for booking assistance?
Standard Komodo NP online booking assistance is complimentary for travelers who book any tour package with our affiliated operator. For travelers who want booking assistance only (no tour package), we charge a small service fee that we’ll quote upfront based on group size and complexity. See our FAQ for full details.
What’s your cancellation and refund policy?
Our tour packages follow our affiliated operator’s published cancellation policy: full refund 30+ days before departure, 50% refund 15–29 days before, no refund within 14 days except for force majeure. Komodo NP booking platform park fees follow BTNK’s official refund policy (see our FAQ). Travel insurance is strongly recommended.
Can you build a custom itinerary?
Yes. We design custom Komodo itineraries from 1-day excursions to 7-night liveaboard expeditions, including diving, photography, family-friendly trips, and luxury private charters. Pricing varies by boat class, group size, and inclusions. Share your dates and preferences and we’ll send a tailored proposal within 24 hours.

What foreign visitors need to know about Komodo National Park access in 2026
Visiting Komodo National Park as a foreign tourist in 2026 requires understanding several moving parts: the new online ticketing system, the 1,000-visitor daily quota enforced since April 2026, the foreign-visitor entrance fee structure (significantly higher than Indonesian rates), and the optional permits required for specific activities like drone photography or scuba diving. This page is one piece of our complete foreign-visitor guide — see our pillar resources linked below for the full picture.
Why the booking process matters more in 2026
Before April 2026, walk-in ticket purchases at Labuan Bajo harbor were possible. That has changed. The new online booking requirement means foreign tourists must reserve their park entry days in advance — and during peak season (June–September, December–January), the 1,000-daily-visitor cap is reached well before the actual visit date. Booking 2–4 weeks ahead is now standard practice for foreign visitors planning a Komodo National Park trip.
Foreign visitor entrance fee structure (2026)
The complete entrance fee structure for foreign tourists visiting Komodo National Park in 2026 breaks down into several components: the base park entrance fee (charged per person per visit), the conservation fee (per day inside the park, regardless of how many islands you visit), the ranger accompaniment fee (mandatory — rangers must accompany all visitors on land), and additional per-island fees for sites like Pink Beach, Padar Island viewpoint, or Rinca Island. For a typical 2D1N trip, foreign visitors should budget approximately IDR 1.5M–2M per person just for entrance-related fees, before boat charter, accommodation, food, or guide fees.
What’s included in the standard Komodo National Park ticket
Your Komodo National Park entrance ticket gives you access to the protected area covering the islands of Komodo, Rinca, Padar, Pink Beach, Kanawa, Kelor, and Manjarite. It does NOT automatically include boat transportation between islands (that’s chartered separately), accommodation on Komodo or Rinca (which is extremely limited and not for casual visitors), professional dive permits (separate SIMAKSI permit required), drone photography rights (separate SIMAKSI permit), or any commercial activities. The ticket is essentially a “right to enter the park” — everything else needs separate arrangement.
How tour operators handle bookings versus DIY
Many foreign visitors choose to book Komodo National Park through a Labuan Bajo–based tour operator (like Juara Holding’s local Komodo team) rather than attempt the online booking system themselves. Reasons foreigners commonly cite: the online booking system has limited English support, foreign credit cards frequently fail on the Indonesian payment gateway, the quota check interface is unfamiliar, and the harbor process requires Indonesian documentation that tour operators handle automatically. A reputable tour operator handles all permits, ranger coordination, boat arrangements, and harbor formalities on the visitor’s behalf, charging a service fee on top of the underlying ticket cost.
Common foreign-visitor mistakes to avoid
Among the most frequent mistakes foreign tourists make when planning a Komodo trip: assuming the entrance fee is paid in cash at the harbor (it’s not — pre-payment required now), trying to use SimSat or unbranded ticket vendors on Komodo Island (these are unauthorized resellers), ignoring the conservation fee (it’s separate from the entrance fee, and rangers will turn you back if it’s not paid), arriving at the harbor without printed booking confirmation (digital must be backed up by printed copy in case of signal issues), and underestimating the ranger fee (it’s mandatory and charged per group of visitors, not per individual).
Best time to visit Komodo National Park as a foreigner
Komodo National Park is open year-round, but foreign visitors should be aware of two seasonal patterns. Dry season (April through November) offers calmer seas, better visibility for diving and snorkeling, and reliable boat trips — but also higher tourist volumes and frequent quota sellouts. Wet season (December through March) brings rougher seas, occasional boat cancellations, and limited dive operations, but also smaller crowds and lower prices. Manta ray season peaks November to April. Komodo dragon sightings are reliable year-round, though dragons are more active during cooler morning hours.
