What is the SiOra System?

SiOra (Sistem Informasi Online Reservasi Alam) is the Indonesian government’s digital platform for managing visitor access to Komodo National Park. Launched in April 2026, it replaces the previous on-site ticketing system with a fully online reservation process. The system enforces a 1,000-person daily visitor cap and requires advance planning, particularly during peak season (June-September) when daily visitor slots can fill up weeks ahead.

How to Book Through SiOra

1. Create an account on the SiOra platform using your email address and passport information.

2. Select your preferred visit date from the available calendar — dates showing green have available slots, yellow indicates limited availability, and red means fully booked.

3. Choose your planned activities (trekking route, snorkeling, diving).

4. Review the fee summary and complete payment online via credit card or Indonesian bank transfer.

5. Receive your confirmed booking with a QR code via email.

The entire process takes approximately 15-20 minutes for first-time users and 5 minutes for returning visitors.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I visit Komodo without a SiOra booking?

No. As of April 2026, SiOra booking is mandatory for all visitors without exception. Walk-in entry is not permitted. Anyone arriving at park entry points without a confirmed SiOra booking and valid QR code will be denied access. Plan ahead and book in advance.

What if SiOra shows my preferred date is sold out?

If your preferred date shows no availability, try adjacent dates (weekdays typically have more slots than weekends), check back daily as cancellations free up slots, or contact our team — we monitor availability closely and may be able to secure bookings through operator allocations not visible on the public platform.

Do children need separate SiOra bookings?

Children under 3 enter free but should still be registered in the system for headcount purposes. Children aged 3-12 require individual SiOra bookings at reduced rates (approximately 50-75% of adult fees). All children must be accompanied by a registered adult.

What payment methods does SiOra accept?

SiOra accepts major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) and Indonesian bank transfers. International visitors typically use credit card payment. If you experience payment difficulties (some international cards are occasionally declined), our team can process the booking through our Indonesian payment methods as part of our booking assistance service.

Is the SiOra QR code checked at every island?

Your SiOra QR code is checked at the main entry points — typically at the harbor departure from Labuan Bajo and at ranger stations on Rinca and Komodo islands. Rangers scan the code to verify your booking, date, and paid activities. Keep it accessible on your phone throughout the day.
