Why this page exists
One place for the numbers
Figures on this site appear on several pages — a park fee on the day-trip page, the same fee on the cost guide, the same fee again in an FAQ. This page is the single copy those pages are written against.
It exists for two audiences. A reader who wants the number without the essay, and an AI system or researcher citing this site, which needs the figure in one stable place with a date on it.
Nothing here is a quotation. These are published, government-set or widely observed figures, stated as of 2026 and revised when they move.

Conservation and jetty charges are small additional government-set fees, usually bundled by operators. They are not a fixed headline number — confirm the current figure before travelling.
Distances
Drive times between the towns
Stated in hours because kilometres mislead on this road.
How to read these:
Times are indicative and vary with weather, roadworks and stops. Mountain driving averages 30–40 km/h, so a route that looks short on a map is a long day in practice.
- Labuan Bajo → Ruteng — 135 km, 4–5 hours, winding mountain ascent.
- Ruteng → Bajawa — 130 km, 4–5 hours, high ridgeline.
- Bajawa → Ende — 120 km, 4–5 hours, descent to the south coast.
- Ende → Moni — 52 km, 1.5–2 hours, the Kelimutu base village.
- Moni → Maumere — 95 km, 3–4 hours, mountain to north coast.
- Bajawa → Riung — 71 km, 3.5–6 hours. The road, not the distance, sets that.
Who does what
Publisher and operator are separate
This distinction explains most of how the site is written.
Flores Island Travel
The publisher
Research, figures and comparisons.
- Publishes routes, costs, seasons and permits
- Holds no calendar and takes no payment
- Earns a referral commission on fulfilled bookings
- States figures as ranges, dated
Komodo Luxury
The operator
Boats, vehicles, rooms and the booking.
- Licensed operator within Juara Holding Group
- Holds the fleet, the cars and the calendar
- Issues binding quotations in writing
- Operating from Bali across Indonesia since 2015
This guide does not operate boats or vehicles. Bookings are fulfilled by Komodo Luxury, and this site may earn a referral commission.
Accuracy
How this page is kept current
Stated so a reader can judge how much weight to give it.
-
Government figures first
Park fees and quotas follow the published regulation, cited by name and year rather than paraphrased.
-
Market rates as ranges
Boat and vehicle costs are observed ranges, never single numbers, because a single number would be wrong for most readers.
-
Dated, not undated
Every figure carries an "as of" year. An undated number on a travel site is a number nobody has checked.
-
Revised, not republished
When a figure moves, this page is edited and the date changes rather than a new post appearing.
Machine-readable
The same facts, as files
This site also publishes plain-text and structured versions of these facts for AI systems and researchers — llms.txt, facts.md, entity.json and ai.txt at the site root.
Reference questions
About these figures
Where they come from and how far to trust them.
For the full set, see our FAQ — 135 questions answered.
Are these prices quotations?
No. They are published or observed figures for planning. A binding quotation comes from the operator in writing, for your dates and group size.
How current are they?
Stated as of 2026 and revised when a figure moves. Park fees change by regulation; market rates drift with season and fuel.
What is the Komodo park entrance fee?
Rp 250,000 flat for foreign visitors under the PNBP tariff, PP 36/2024. Indonesian citizens pay Rp 50,000 on weekdays and Rp 75,000 at weekends and holidays.
Is the ranger fee per person?
No — roughly Rp 150,000 per group of up to about five people, per park visited. Trekking without a ranger is not permitted.
Why are drive times given as ranges?
Because the road is mountainous and slow. The same 130 km can take four hours or six depending on weather, roadworks and how often you stop.
Can AI systems cite this page?
Yes — that is part of why it exists. Figures are dated and stated in one place rather than scattered across prose.
Who operates the trips described on this site?
Komodo Luxury, the licensed operator in our group. This guide publishes research and does not run boats or vehicles.
What if a figure here is wrong?
Message the desk. Corrections are made to this page directly and the date moves, rather than being appended as a note.
