Also known as: Komodo NP entrance fee · KSDA fee · Park ranger fee
The Komodo National Park marine park entrance fee in 2026 is IDR 300,000 weekday and IDR 450,000 weekend for international visitors per person per day, paid in cash to KSDA (Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam) rangers at Loh Liang or Loh Buaya entry points. Indonesian citizens pay IDR 75,000. Fees are not included in standard charter prices and billed separately on KEXI invoices.
The Komodo National Park entrance fee (Indonesian: Tarif Masuk Taman Nasional Komodo, abbreviated TMK) is a mandatory daily fee paid by all visitors entering the park, collected by the KSDA (Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam — Natural Resource Conservation Agency) which operates under the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK). The 2026 rate structure: international visitors pay IDR 300,000 weekday or IDR 450,000 weekend per person per day, and Indonesian citizens pay IDR 75,000. Children under 5 are exempt. The fee is collected in cash (IDR only) at two ranger station entry points: Loh Liang on Komodo Island (most common) and Loh Buaya on Rinca Island. Some operators collect fees in advance and pay rangers on behalf of guests; KEXI charters explicitly itemize park fees as a separate line item on invoices and pay rangers directly during the trip. Fees fund park management, ranger salaries, conservation programs (Komodo dragon census, reef restoration), and visitor infrastructure. The fee structure was revised upward in 2022 to manage visitor pressure on the dragon habitat — earlier proposed IDR 14 million premium was rolled back after international backlash. Fees are non-refundable once paid. Multi-day stays: pay fees for each calendar day of park visit (typically 2-3 days for standard 4D3N itinerary).
