WHY DO WE NEED TO BUY TICKET?

The basic funding for the Park is provided through the Government of Indonesia. These funds, however, are insufficient to meet all the management needs for the Park. Therefore, The Komodo National Park management will conduct an assessment of options for restructuring tourist gate fees and reforming the gate fee distribution system within the park, so that a significant portion of these fees can be channeled directly to Park management support.

HOW MUCH IS THE KOMODO NATIONAL PARK’S TICKET FEE?

The ticket price depends on the day of your trip. Our price does not include the ticket fee because we do not sell the ticket ourselves. It is meant to be purchased directly by the guest(s) on the Komodo National Park’s locket. The price below is the price per person per day.

AM I PHYSICALLY FIT FOR SCUBA DIVING?

Although it is recommended to have a medical test before trying scuba diving, it is not necessary to be super healthy. All scuba divers will need to fill a dive health assessment before they start to dive. If the majority of your answer is “YES” (depending what you answer yes to), then there should be no problem for you to rock scuba diving. One basic skill that you definitely need to have is the ability to swim and float as it is required in the Open Water Swimming Test.

DO I NEED INSURANCE?

It’s always convenient to have insurance before starting a trip. Especially when you plan on having a diving trip. Make sure your travel insurance can cover for scuba diving activities. There are some Insurance companies especially for diver: DAN, PADI, and IDEC. Make sure to visit their website and to contact them for further information.

TIPPING

Surprisingly, tipping is the question that is very common asked by our guest. Tipping is entirely discretionary. If you are happy with our Divemaster/Dive Instructor and crew service, they are very welcome to accept it. The amount of the tip usually is 10% from the amount of your service. Our Dive masters and crew are all hard workers and fun people. We are very glad if you could support their incomes.

FUN FACTS
Sound travels five times faster underwater than in air, which makes it almost impossible to establish where sound is coming from, as we rely on the time difference between our ears to do so.
When is the best time to dive?
Best time to dive in Komodo is during dry season, starting from March until October. The sea is calmer, and sunny all day. This is the best time to dive in North and Central dive sites. During November until December is rainy season, the weather is a bit rough, and the current can be really strong. But it is the best time to see a lot of Mantas. Also perfect time to go to the south dive sites. January and February is the peak of rainy season in Komodo. The weather is unpredictable, sometimes the harbor master prohibit all the boats to sail.
