Here’s how foreign tourists can (realistically) buy Komodo National Park tickets online in 2026, what to watch out for, and which fees/URLs to trust.

—

1. Official Online Booking System: SiOra

Indonesia has moved Komodo National Park to a largely digital, quota‑based system:

  • System name: SiOra – Sistem Informasi Online Reservasi Wisata Alam
  • Purpose: Official online permit and fee payment system for Komodo NP and other nature parks
  • Key rules (from 2026 updates):
  • Mandatory advance booking via SiOra or a registered operator that uses SiOra
  • 1,000 visitors per day total across the park
  • Permits are date‑specific, non‑refundable, non‑transferable
  • In many cases you must book at least 2–3 days before your park entry date

    • > Important: The only authoritative information is whatever is linked from the official park / government sites (see “Trusted URLs” below). Treat any random “siora” domain that isn’t linked from official sites as suspicious.

    2. Exact Fee Structure for Foreign Visitors in 2026

    You’ll see slightly different breakdowns depending on whether you are:

    • A diver (liveaboard/day‑boat dive trips) – references like Divebooker, Phinisi Labuan Bajo
    • A non‑diving visitor (standard island‑hopping, treks, snorkelling) – references like SeekSophie, Matador, etc.

    The pattern is consistent: a base park entry fee plus surcharges for activities and local services.

    2.1. For international divers (per Divebooker 2026 update)

    For non‑Indonesian passport holders, per day:

    | Fee Category | Amount (IDR) | Notes |

    |———————————————-|————-:|———————————————————|

    | Marine Park Entry (foreign passport) | 250,000 | Mandatory for all visitors |

    | Diver Surcharge | 25,000 | Per diver, per day |

    | Harbour Fee | 25,000 | Per person, per day |

    | Total daily cost for divers | 300,000 | ≈ 24 CAD (approx; depends on FX rate) |

    Additional local fees (paid on‑site or via operator):

    • Ranger trekking fee – Komodo or Rinca: IDR 200,000 per group (up to 5 people)
    • Ranger trekking fee – Padar: IDR 150,000 per group
    • Drone permit: IDR 2,000,000 per drone, per day (strictly enforced)

    The previously proposed IDR 3.75 million annual membership fee has been officially scrapped and is not in effect.

    2.2. For general foreign visitors (non‑divers)

    Multiple 2026 sources give very similar ranges:

    • Foreign visitor base entrance: typically IDR 250,000 per person per day
    • Multi‑day packages:
    • 1‑day trip: ~IDR 250,000 (entrance portion)
    • 3D2N trip: ~IDR 650,000 (entrance portion)
    • Other published breakdowns:
    • Entrance: IDR 250,000/day
    • Guide / ranger fee: IDR 75,000/day
    • Conservation contribution: IDR 25,000/day

      • Why the numbers differ:

      • Some sources quote only the base park entrance.
      • Others bundle guide, conservation, harbour, and trekking fees into one “park fee”.
      • Weekends/holidays can be slightly more expensive.
      • Diving/special activities add their own surcharges.

      Best practice: Always ask your operator, in writing, whether your quoted price:

      • Includes all park, harbour, ranger, and conservation fees, or
      • Excludes park fees, in which case you need to pay IDR 250k–300k/day+ yourself.

      3. Step‑by‑Step: How Foreigners Book Through SiOra

      In 2026, foreign tourists usually don’t book direct; the tour operator / liveaboard handles the SiOra permit. But if you’re doing it yourself, the steps are similar.

      3.1. If booking via a tour/dive operator (most common and recommended)

      1. Choose a legitimate operator
      2. Examples from your search:
      3. Reputable resorts/boats (e.g., Komodo Resort, established liveaboards)
      4. Agencies with physical offices in Labuan Bajo (e.g., Jl. Soekarno Hatta addresses)
      5. Check for:
      6. Clear company name, address, and Indonesian business details
      7. External reviews on platforms like Google Maps, TripAdvisor, or major OTAs
      8. Reasonable prices (very low “all‑inclusive” prices are a red flag)
      1. Confirm your trip dates and route
      2. Make sure you know exactly which dates you will enter the park; SiOra permits are date‑specific.
      3. For multi‑day trips, they will usually issue permits for each day in the park.
      1. Send your passport details

      Operators will ask for:

      • Full name (as in passport)
      • Nationality
      • Passport number
      • Date of birth
      • Sometimes a photo/scan of the passport photo page
        1. Pay the trip deposit / fee
        2. The operator then uses your details to secure your SiOra permits.
        3. Ask explicitly: “Is my Komodo National Park permit confirmed and included in this payment?”
        1. Receive written confirmation
        2. You should get an email/WhatsApp with booking confirmation that:
        3. Mentions Komodo NP entry permits
        4. Lists your entry dates
        5. Some operators may send you a QR code or permit reference generated from the app.
        1. Carry ID and confirmation
        2. Bring your physical passport (or at least a clear copy) on the boat.
        3. Have your digital confirmation easily accessible in case rangers or harbour officials cross‑check.

        3.2. If you book directly yourself through SiOra (where available)

        Direct access for foreigners can be finicky because the payment gateway prioritizes Indonesian methods, but the process conceptually is:

        1. Go only via official links (see URLs section)

        Don’t Google “siora tickets” and click ads; start from the official Komodo NP or Indonesian Ministry/Environment site and follow their SiOra link.

        1. Create an account
        2. Register with your email and a password.
        3. Set your nationality as your foreign country and enter your passport details.
        1. Select Komodo National Park & date
        2. Choose “Komodo National Park” from the park list.
        3. Select your exact visit date(s) and choose your session (if time‑slots are enforced, e.g., 06:00–11:00, 11:00–15:00, 15:00–18:00).
        4. The system will show how many of the 1,000 daily slots remain.
        1. Add group members
        2. For each person you’re booking:
        3. Name
        4. Passport number
        5. Nationality
        6. Each ticket will be tied to that person; no substitutions later.
        1. Select activities / add‑ons
        2. Choose whether you are:
        3. Visitor only
        4. Diver/snorkeller
        5. Add ranger guide and any trekking/Padar options if available as selectable add‑ons.
        1. Review the fee breakdown

        You should see itemized:

        • Entrance fee (e.g., 250,000 IDR/day)
        • Conservation tax / tourism levy
        • Guide/ranger fee (if added)
        • Any activity surcharges (diving, etc.)
        1. Pay (see payment methods below)

        After successful payment, the app generates a:

        • Digital ticket / permit with QR code, or
        • Booking number linked to your passport details.
        1. Save ticket offline
        2. Screenshot the QR code and/or save the PDF to your phone.
        3. Internet can be unreliable; don’t assume you’ll have data at the harbour.

        4. Payment Methods That Work for Foreigners

        This is usually the hardest part for non‑Indonesian visitors.

        4.1. Typical Indonesian payment options (problematic for foreigners)

        Common methods in local gateways:

        • Local bank transfer (VA / manual transfer) – requires an Indonesian bank account
        • E‑wallets (OVO, GoPay, Dana, ShopeePay, etc.) – local accounts needed
        • Local debit networks

        These are often not usable with foreign bank accounts.

        4.2. What can work for international tourists

        What you should look for in the SiOra payment screen or via your operator:

        • International credit cards (Visa/Mastercard, possibly Amex)
        • Some government or park systems integrate international processors (e.g., Mastercard/Visa via global gateway).
        • Cards that often work better:
        • Visa or Mastercard from major banks
        • Cards with 3D Secure (Verified by Visa, Mastercard SecureCode)
        • If a card fails:
        • Try a 2nd card
        • Temporarily enable “international online transactions” in your banking app
        • Switch browser and disable VPN; sometimes risk systems flag transactions
          • Third‑party platforms that re‑sell permits

          Many reputable tour platforms and operators will:

          • Accept international cards and/or PayPal/Stripe
          • Then pay SiOra or local authorities on your behalf

          This is the easiest route for most foreign travellers.

          4.3. Why using a tour operator is often the best solution

          Because Indonesian payment gateways are restrictive, for most foreigners the cleanest method is:

          1. Pay your trip + park fees to a reputable operator (card, PayPal, Stripe, bank transfer).
          2. The operator then:
          3. Uses local payment methods to secure your permits in SiOra.
          4. Bundles the park/pass fees and harbour/ranger fees into your total price.

          Ask the operator to state in writing that all mandatory Komodo NP fees and permits are included, so you don’t get surprises at the harbour.

          5. Alternatives: Third‑Party Booking Platforms

          These are not a substitute for SiOra from a legal standpoint (permits are still issued through the official system), but they are practical intermediaries.

          5.1. Types of third‑party platforms

          • Major tour marketplaces
          • SeekSophie, Klook, Viator, GetYourGuide, etc.
          • They list Komodo day‑trips and liveaboards, often with clear fee breakdowns.
          • Dive / liveaboard booking portals
          • Example: Divebooker, and similar sites.
          • They specialize in multi‑day dive trips where the operator handles all permits.
          • Direct operators with online booking
          • Resorts (e.g., Komodo Resort)
          • Boat companies (phinisi / liveaboards)
          • Local agencies with their own websites (e.g., Labuan Bajo‑based companies)

          5.2. How to use them safely

          1. Confirm whether park fees are included or “pay on arrival”.
          2. Check cancellation rules – SiOra permits are non‑refundable, so many operators treat the park‑fee portion as non‑refundable once issued.
          3. Look for:
          4. A real business address (e.g., in Labuan Bajo)
          5. Local phone/WhatsApp numbers
          6. Independent reviews on third‑party sites

          6. Scam Warnings & How to Avoid Problems

          Because demand is capped at 1,000 visitors/day and everything is online, scams are a real risk.

          6.1. Common red flags

          • “Guarantee” of permits for sold‑out dates

          If the official system says a date is full, nobody can “magically” bypass this legally.

          • Unusually cheap “all‑inclusive park pass” offers

          If a site is offering park + boat + guide for a fraction of typical rates, be suspicious.

          • No clear business identity
