Here’s a concise summary of what changed for Komodo National Park tickets and access in 2026, based on the sources you provided.

—

1. Visitor quota: 1,000 people per day

What’s new:

  • A strict cap of 1,000 visitors per day across the whole park is now in effect.
  • This applies to:
  • Divers (liveaboard and day boats)
  • Snorkellers
  • Land visitors/trekkers (Komodo, Rinca, Padar, etc.)

    • April 2026 enforcement:

    • The limit was trialed from Jan–Mar 2026 as a pilot program.
    • From April 2026, enforcement became strict:
    • [Divebooker] and [Komodo Resort] both describe it as a firm 1,000-visitor-per-day quota.
    • Specific sub-limits at key sites (per Komodo Resort guide):
    • Loh Liang (Komodo Island): 250 visitors/day
    • Loh Buaya (Rinca Island): 150 visitors/day
    • Padar Island: 60 visitors/day

      • Important nuance from Karang Travel:

      • The 1,000 cap emerged first as a pilot/trial measure and:
      • Is controlled via ticket allocations at certain entry points.
      • May involve time slots and differing restrictions by island.
      • Regulations are still being fine‑tuned, so procedures can vary slightly by operator and access point.

      Practical implication: popular dates in peak season (roughly April–October) now fill up fast; advance booking is essential.

      2. New online booking requirement: Komodo NP online booking system

      Key change:

      • Walk‑in ticket purchases are no longer available.
      • All visitors must book through the official Komodo NP online booking (Sistem Informasi Online Reservasi Wisata Alam) platform.

      How it works (Komodo Resort / Divebooker):

      1. Access the Komodo NP online booking web portal or mobile app.
      2. Create an account (email-based).
      3. Select your visit date(s).
      4. Enter passport details for each visitor:
      5. Full name
      6. Nationality
      7. Passport number
      8. Pay the required fees online.
      9. Download your e‑permit, which you must show along with your passport.

      Rules:

      • Booking deadline: at least 2–3 days before your visit.
      • Permits are non‑refundable and non‑transferable.
      • Many tour and dive operators handle Komodo NP online booking bookings on your behalf; you still must commit early so they can secure your quota spots.

      Dive-focused notes (from Divebooker):

      • The former system of buying paper tickets at Labuan Bajo harbour is being phased out/ended.
      • From April 2026, park access is fully managed via the digital Komodo NP online booking system.

      3. Updated foreign (international) visitor fee structure

      There is some variation in how operators describe the breakdown, but the direction is consistent: foreign visitors are paying around IDR 300,000–400,000 per person per day, with clearer itemization.

      Base structure (Komodo Resort guide)

      For international visitors:

      • Marine park entry fee:
      • IDR 250,000 per person, per day
      • Conservation fee:
      • IDR 100,000 per person, per day
      • Harbour fee:
      • IDR 25,000 per person (day-trippers generally pay once; liveaboards often include it in the package)

        • Minimum daily cost (no diving):

        • IDR 250,000 (entry) + 100,000 (conservation) + 25,000 (harbour)

        = IDR 375,000 per day for foreigners.

        Divers:

        • Additional diving surcharge: IDR 25,000 per diver, per day.
        • That brings a diver’s total to roughly IDR 400,000 per day (depending how the harbour fee is applied in your package).

        Divebooker breakdown (for divers)

        Divebooker presents a slightly simplified diver-specific structure:

        • Marine Park Entry (non-Indonesian passport): IDR 250,000
        • Diver surcharge: IDR 25,000
        • Harbour fee: IDR 25,000
        • Total daily cost for divers:IDR 300,000 (approx. CAD 24; note they may not be including the extra conservation fee explicitly in that table, or it may be bundled differently).

        Key point: despite rumors, there was no massive year-on-year fee hike for 2026 for foreign divers. The widely discussed IDR 3.75 million annual pass was scrapped. Instead, the park stayed with a per‑day model, with clarified breakdowns and some operators adding a distinct “conservation fee” line.

        Other references

        • Komodo Island Tour & other operators generally quote:
        • Marine park ticket: IDR 250,000
        • Harbour fee: ~IDR 25,000
        • Ranger fees shared: IDR 150,000–200,000 per group
        • Estimated total:IDR 300,000–400,000 per person per day, depending on activities and group size.

          4. Domestic (Indonesian) visitor fees

          For Indonesian citizens (Komodo Resort):

          • Entry fee:
          • Weekdays: IDR 50,000
          • Weekends/public holidays: IDR 75,000
          • Conservation fee:
          • IDR 10,000 per person.

            • Domestic visitors pay substantially less than foreign visitors, as before, but with clearer conservation line items.

            5. Conservation fee changes

            Compared with earlier years where conservation elements were less clearly broken out, 2026 information emphasizes:

            • A distinct conservation fee for foreign visitors:
            • IDR 100,000 per person, per day (Komodo Resort)
            • For domestic visitors:
            • IDR 10,000 per person.

            This is explicitly described as supporting habitat protection and anti‑poaching patrols. While exact year‑by‑year historical amounts aren’t fully detailed in the pages you provided, the 2026 guides clearly highlight conservation contributions more prominently than before, and in some structures this represents an increase in the conservation component of the ticket.

            6. New permit & add‑on requirements (2026 emphasis)

            a) Ranger trekking fees (land visits)

            These are per group, up to 5 people:
