Only the entrance fee for Komodo National Park is billed as a separate line item, paid in cash at the gate on the day you travel. The Rp1,350,000 seat price itself stays flat all year — we don't add wet-season or dry-season surcharges, so a July quote on WhatsApp matches what you'd pay in December.
As of July 2026, the official rate we've verified is still Rp250.000 $15 for Indonesian citizens (WNI) and Rp400.000 $25 for foreign visitors (WNA), paid in cash at the park gate. Since April 2026 the government has capped daily visits to Komodo National Park at 1,000 people and requires advance booking through the official SiORA app — walk-in gate tickets are no longer something to count on. A newer bundled fee structure is being reported by some operators but hadn't been formally announced by BTNK as of our last check, so the figures above could shift. We'll update them the moment an official rate lands; until then, confirm your date and quota when you lock in a seat on the booking page.

That Rp1,350,000 per-seat figure already folds in getting picked up and dropped back at your hotel, the speedboat itself, an English-speaking guide, lunch on board, mineral water, a snack, and a full snorkel gear set — see the facility/included breakdown above for the complete list. Only one line item sits outside it: the Komodo National Park entrance fee, paid in cash at the gate on arrival.
Yes, if your time or budget is limited — Padar's sunrise ridge, wild Komodo dragons, Pink Beach and Manta Point snorkeling all fit into one Rp1,350,000 day, versus $250+ for a multi-night liveaboard. You trade overnight sailing and a Kalong Island sunset for a same-day return to your hotel — a fair swap for most first-time visitors.
As of July 2026, the entrance fee we've verified is still Rp250,000 per person for Indonesian citizens (WNI) and Rp400,000 for foreign visitors (WNA), paid in cash at the park gate and separate from our open-trip price. Since April 2026 the government has capped daily park visits at 1,000 people and requires advance booking through the official SiORA app; some Labuan Bajo operators are reporting a new, higher bundled fee, but the park authority (BTNK) hadn't made it official as of our last check. These figures can change — we'll update them the moment a formal rate is published, so confirm with us on WhatsApp when you book.
Padar is our first stop, at 06:45, and you'll spend roughly 45-60 minutes climbing the savanna ridge for that three-bay panorama while the morning light is still soft — wear proper shoes, since it's a dry hike rather than a beach call. We move straight on to Pink Beach after, so save your swimwear for that stop.
