Park Fees at Komodo National Park

Please take note of the following details but keep in mind that the prices and policies are dictated by the Indonesian government and are subject to change. Please inquire for current park fees.

Condition of Tour Facilities
Our tours are competitively priced and well matched for the more adventurous traveller. We’re highly committed to serving our clients wholeheartedly but remember, our tours are off the beaten path and based on adventure and an authentic local experience. Other than Labuan Bajo, locations are remote and less developed so tour-facilities are more limited. Do not expect luxury accommodations and services like on Bali. We want you to be aware that most of the tour facilities such as accommodations, restaurant, boat trip, etc. are simple and basic but they are clean and perfectly functional.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is always a good idea no matter where you’re traveling. Keep in mind that travel insurance is not included in the tour price and we recommend purchasing travel insurance for Indonesia ahead of your trip.
Indonesian Domestic Airlines
There are sometimes cancellations or delays with domestic flights. It is highly recommended that you reconfirm your departure flight schedule at least 48 hours before you are flying.
Our Limitation & Responsibility
We will do our best to ensure you have a great experience on a tour with us. Keep in mind we only act in a capacity as a local tour & travel organizer to arrange your tour, transportation, accommodation, tour guide service and so on which is dependent on our dealing tour price. We are not responsible for any personal belongings missing, damage, delay, cancellations or irregularities of flight schedule, minor or major accident including death and any natural disaster such as: bad weather, landslide, storm, or anything beyond of our control.
Bank & Money Changer
Banks and Money changers are acceptable to change foreign currency but it is a very poor rate of exchange. Money changer is also very limited in our region and if you are departing from Bali or any well-developed touristic area in Indonesia, it’s better changing your currency there, before traveling to our region and we highly recommend bringing an ATM card that doesn’t charge international fees with you for cash withdrawls. Every town on Flores has ATM service but keep in mind withdrawing large amounts are limited. Outside of Labuan Bajo, most of the hotels, restaurants, mini markets are cash only and only a few accept credit card.
