Komodo National Park ticket 2026: the domestic fee and the daily quota

The legal base is Government Regulation 36 of 2024. It was signed on 30 September 2024 and has applied since 30 October 2024. It sets the non-tax revenue rates of the forestry ministry, and it lists national park entry tickets by park class, not by park name.

So the Komodo figures come from the park office, as reported at the time. ANTARA gave three of them on 26 October 2024. Domestic visitors pay IDR 50,000 on a weekday and IDR 75,000 on a holiday, and foreign visitors pay IDR 250,000. detikBali repeated the same three on 3 November 2024.

The regulation also sets the holiday rate for domestic visitors at 150 percent of the regular one, which is exactly the step from the weekday figure to the holiday one.

A few details matter when you turn those rates into a budget.

• Weekend or holiday. The reports say holiday, which covers public holidays and collective leave. We apply the higher domestic rate on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
• Old figures still circulate. Before the 2024 change, foreign visitors paid 150 thousand rupiah on a weekday and 225 thousand on a holiday, per detikBali. One commercial page updated in August 2026 still shows the old weekday figure.
• Activity tickets. ANTARA reported on 31 October 2025 that four activity tariffs were folded into one entry ticket.
• Ranger and pier charges. These are paid on the day and sit outside the ticket.

If a page you are reading quotes a foreign rate below IDR 250,000, it is showing the pre-2024 tariff.

Entry to the park is capped. The park office, known as BTNK, says a limit of 1,000 visitors a day has applied since 1 April 2026. ANTARA reported it on 14 April 2026, with 429,509 visits in 2025, 68 percent of them international.

The reason given is carrying capacity, and the capacity figure itself differs by source. Floresa, on 7 April 2026, cites a 2018 study at 366,108 visitors a year. ANTARA cites 378,870 a year from a 2022 study. Floresa also reports a trial from January, when the booking system did not always stop reservations once the cap was reached.

Then the yearly total ran out. CNN Indonesia reported on 29 September 2026 that the 2026 quota of 365,000 visitors a year had been used up since August. A BTNK notice signed on 22 September sets 500 visitors a day for the added quota from September to December. In April the forestry ministry called the yearly figure dynamic, to be reviewed, and said a rise was possible after Padar works this year (ANTARA, 25 April 2026).

For a group, the practical point is simple: the daily cap applies to the date on your ticket, so we fix that date with you before anyone pays.

Tickets are bought for a date, through the park's SiOra app, with non-cash payment. Patrols check both the ticket and the sailing permit.

The acting BTNK head said on 26 September 2026 that people buy a ticket for one day and enter on another. That mismatch is part of why the quota ran out so quickly. The sensible reading for a group is to keep the ticket date and the entry date the same.

So send us two possible dates, not one. A park day can be full while a boat is free, and we check both before you pay. Seat departures leave on Monday & Friday, and a private charter starts on a date we agree with you.

The ticket is never part of the boat fare: the cost is the guests', paid separately on the day. For every group we say which date is printed on it and which amount applies to each guest. Park rules change, so we check them for your date, not last year's.
