How much are park fees per day?

IDR 700,000 per person per day for foreign visitors, plus an IDR 25,000 harbour fee. Indonesian citizens and KITAS holders pay around IDR 75,000 a day.

Do I need to book the permit in advance?

Yes. Since 2026 the park runs a dated e-ticket under a 1,000-per-day quota, booked through the SiORA app. Turning up at the gate without one does not work. Most operators arrange it for you.

Do I pay entry again on an overnight cruise?

Yes. The ticket is dated and covers a day, not a trip. Three days inside park boundaries means three tickets, which is what makes the fee line so much larger than people expect.

Do Indonesians pay the same?

No — Indonesian citizens and KITAS holders pay around IDR 75,000 per person per day against IDR 700,000 for foreign visitors. Bring the document if you hold one.

Are fees included in tour prices?

Sometimes. It is the most common thing left out of a headline price, and at IDR 700,000 per person per day it is not a rounding error. Ask for it as a line item, not a footnote.

Watch for this

Miss your session slot and you do not get in that day
Quotes that say "park fees extra" without naming the IDR 700,000
Liveaboards and dive boats sit under the same quota — no exemption
Arrive in Labuan Bajo a day early so a flight delay cannot cost you the slot
