Where and How to Pay
- Waisai office — buy the card in person at the Marine Park Authority (BLUD) office in Waisai after the ferry crossing.
- Official online system — the authority operates an online permit purchase channel, useful for buying before arrival.
- Through your operator — most liveaboards, resorts and private charters handle the card for guests and bill it at the official rate. On a fully managed private charter this is arranged before you board — see our partner desk at Komodo Luxury — Raja Ampat yacht charter.
Watch for Layered Fees
Some quotes you may see online (for example IDR 1,000,000 international) mix the marine-park card with separate regency or provincial environmental levies, or reflect older tariff proposals. The Marine Park Entry Card itself is IDR 700,000 / 425,000 with 12-month validity. Village-level attraction fees (for example at Piaynemo or ranger stations) are charged separately per visit and are not included in the card. Always confirm at booking which fees your operator includes.
