Entrance, international visitor
- Indicative figure
- IDR 150,000–225,000 / person
- Notes
- Roughly USD 9–14. The higher figure applies on Sundays and public holidays; domestic visitors pay a lower tier.
Cruising Guides
The part of an eastern cruise most often got wrong
Charged per person and per activity, in rupiah, under tariffs set by two different park authorities — with different figures, payment points and validity periods.
In short
Set against the cost of a cruise these are small numbers — but they are mandatory, receipted, and checked.
- Handling them badly costs guest time in the best hours of the day.
- Tariffs are government-set and periodically revised; figures here are indicative.
- The desk confirms current numbers against the park offices for each vessel file.
Komodo National Park
How the Komodo fees stack
Charged per person, per activity and per vessel under the national park's non-tax state revenue schedule.
Activity fees
- Indicative figure
- IDR 15,000–25,000 / person / activity
- Notes
- Trekking, snorkelling and diving, charged per activity per day.
Ranger or naturalist guide
- Indicative figure
- IDR 120,000–250,000 / group
- Notes
- Mandatory for island landings. It is a safety rule, not a formality — dragons are wild predators and rangers set the walking routes.
Vessel entry and anchoring
- Indicative figure
- Tiered by vessel size
- Notes
- Payable for the yacht and for any operating tenders.
Documentation & harbour coordination
- Indicative figure
- Case by case
- Notes
- Labuan Bajo. Handled inside the desk's file.
Landings at Loh Liang on Komodo and Loh Buaya on Rinca require the ranger escort regardless of how the fees were paid.
The shore programme these fees buyRaja Ampat
A simpler headline, with a longer memory
One per-person environmental services fee, administered from Waisai and evidenced by a waterproof tag that rangers do check at dive sites.
Marine Park Environmental Services fee
- Indicative figure
- IDR 700,000 / person
- Notes
- International visitors; IDR 300,000 for domestic. Valid twelve months from issue.
Vessel-related charges
- Indicative figure
- Arranged via Sorong or Waisai
- Notes
- For yachts and liveaboards, on top of the per-person fee.
Village and site contributions
- Indicative figure
- Local, area-dependent
- Notes
- Applies in some areas and is itemised where it does.
The twelve-month validity matters: guests returning within the year do not pay twice, so the desk keeps tag records with the vessel's file.
How the far-east leg is arrangedWhat the desk does with it
Four things, before your guests land
Pre-arrival calculation
Current tariffs confirmed with the park offices, the full fee position calculated for your guest list and itinerary, and stated in the disbursement estimate in USD.
Payment through the right channels
Fees settled with receipts and tags in hand before guests land. No cash negotiations at ranger posts.
Aligned with the clearance file
Park entry matched to the vessel's own clearance and permit position, because rangers and harbourmasters increasingly cross-check.
Escorts booked on the ground
Ranger escorts reserved and shore programmes coordinated, so tenders land against an assignment rather than a queue.
For planning: a party of eight spending three active days in Komodo should budget roughly USD 400–700 in park-related fees including ranger escorts and activity charges. The same party entering Raja Ampat carries about USD 350–400 in environmental fees on arrival, plus vessel and site charges.
Put the fees in the file
Send the itinerary and guest count. The desk returns the current fee position in writing, inside the disbursement estimate — so nobody queues at a ranger post.
