  "affiliationDisclosure": "labuanbajokomodo.com is an editorial travel-information site published by Juara Holding Group, not an independent third party. This guide does not operate boats. Bookings are fulfilled by Komodo Luxury, and this site may earn a referral commission. Komodo Luxury is part of the same group; boat operations run under PT Komodo Bahari Nusantara (KBLI 79120), which charters the vessels and crews from third-party boat owners rather than owning a fleet. Full disclosure: https://labuanbajokomodo.com/company-facts/",
  "seasonNote": "Canonical season for Labuan Bajo and Komodo National Park: dry season April-October, wet season November-March; the park is open year-round. Month labels: January peak wet, February peak wet, March late wet, April early dry/shoulder, May early dry/shoulder, June dry, July peak dry, August peak dry, September late dry, October shoulder (dry), November early wet, December peak wet. Heaviest rain and roughest crossings December-February. Busiest and priciest July-August. Best balance of dry weather, thinner crowds and lower prices: April-June and September-October. Narrower ranges such as May-September describe the calmest core of the dry season, not the season boundary.",
  "seaTemperatureNote": "Komodo has two water-temperature regimes and a single park-wide figure is misleading. Northern sites (Batu Bolong, Castle Rock, Crystal Rock) sit around 27-29 C for most of the year. Southern sites (Manta Alley) are driven by dry-season upwelling from the Indian Ocean and drop to roughly 20-25 C, most sharply in August. Any August figure on this site is that north/south pair, not one averaged number.",
  "airlinesNote": "This site names carriers by route, because the two routes are not served by the same airlines. On the Denpasar (DPS) route it names Wings Air, Batik Air, Super Air Jet and Indonesia AirAsia, and notes that which airline flies which day changes with the season and demand. On the Jakarta (CGK) route it names four non-stop operators for 2024-2026: Indonesia AirAsia, Batik Air, Citilink and Garuda Indonesia.",
  "batuCerminNote": "Batu Cermin (Goa Batu Cermin) is a limestone cave a short drive outside Labuan Bajo, best mid-morning in the dry season when sunlight angles in through the roof and reflects off the rock. The named sunrise viewpoint above Labuan Bajo town is Sylvia Hill.",
  "augustRainfallNote": "August in Labuan Bajo brings roughly 20 mm of rain across the whole month, falling on roughly four to six rainy days, with daytime temperatures around 30-32 C and nights around 22-24 C. It is the driest month of the year, but not a month without rain.",
  "mantaPointLocationNote": "Manta Point / Karang Makassar lies in the Lintah Strait off Komodo Island's east coast, between Komodo and Rinca. The manta site in the south of the park is Manta Alley, a different place.",
  "mantaSeasonNote": "Mantas are seen in Komodo year-round and the useful answer is site-specific. At Manta Alley in the south the reliable window runs roughly October-April, peaking November-March with wet-season plankton blooms. At Manta Point / Karang Makassar further north, operators report the strongest activity roughly August-October. Sightings track plankton and current rather than the calendar, so this site gives the north/south pair rather than one park-wide season.",
  "padarHikeNote": "The Padar viewpoint hike takes roughly 30-45 minutes one-way at a steady pace, from the ranger jetty to the main three-bay viewpoint. The separate 30-60 minute figure on this site belongs to Gili Lawa Darat, a different island.",
  "droneNote": "Every drone flight inside Komodo National Park, recreational as much as commercial, needs a permit from Balai Taman Nasional Komodo (BTNK) applied for at the park office, on top of national civil-aviation (DGCA) compliance. The permit sits inside the SIMAKSI conservation-area permit system. The park's entrance tariff under PP No. 36/2024 contains no drone line; the permit is a separate process and its cost is not published, so this site quotes no price for it. Core protection zones (Pulau Kalong, Loh Buaya on Rinca, Loh Liang on Komodo) and active dragon-trekking areas are closed to flying, and rangers may refuse a flight on the day. Sourcing note: the BTNK domain is currently unreachable, so this is stated as a permit requirement rather than a priced tariff. Detail: https://labuanbajokomodo.com/drone-rules-in-komodo-national-park/",
  "bookingLeadTimeNote": "Canonical booking windows, by trip type. Peak season means June-September and major holidays. Full private boat charter: 4-6 months ahead in peak season, 4-8 weeks in shoulder season (April-May, October), 2-4 weeks in the wet season (November-March). Private or premium cabin on a liveaboard: 3-6 months peak, 4-8 weeks shoulder, 2-4 weeks wet. Shared open-trip berth: 6-10 weeks peak, 2-4 weeks shoulder, 1-2 weeks wet. Day trip without a cabin: 2-4 weeks peak, 1-2 weeks otherwise. The window depends on what you are booking, so this site gives it by trip type rather than as one blanket figure.",
  "charterRateNote": "Private charter rates published by Komodo Luxury and checked 26 August 2026, per night for the whole boat: Deluxe Phinisi USD 3,250-4,700; VIP Phinisi USD 1,800-8,900; VVIP Phinisi & Yacht USD 3,800-17,000 (VAT extra on some vessels); Ultra-Luxury Superyacht USD 18,700-27,000 plus VAT, with the flagship vessel at USD 30,000. Full published range USD 1,800-30,000 per night, with USD 30,000 as the top of that range; market median USD 7,150 per night across 61 vessels with published rates.

  "liveaboardLengthNote": "Komodo liveaboards typically run 2-11 nights. This site states trip length in nights.",
  "parkAreaNote": "The Directorate General of KSDAE publishes Komodo National Park at 178,746.39 hectares (about 1,787 km2). The figure of 1,733 km2 (173,300 ha) is the World Heritage property as recorded at UNESCO inscription and in decree SK 753/Menhut-II/2011; where this site uses it, it is describing the UNESCO-inscribed property.

  "contestedFactsNote": "The notes above fix one value per contested fact for this site, established 27 August 2026. They state the correct value rather than listing rejected ones.",
  "entranceFeeNote": "Foreign visitors pay a flat IDR 250,000 per person per visit under PP No. 36/2024 (effective 30 October 2024) — the same on weekdays, weekends, public holidays, and across every island inside the park (Komodo, Rinca, Padar, Pink Beach). Indonesian citizens pay IDR 50,000 weekdays / IDR 75,000 weekends and holidays. A mandatory local guide fee of roughly IDR 150,000 per group of 1-5 people applies on top. Practical all-in total for a foreign visitor: approximately IDR 400,000-525,000 per visit. Figures checked 27 August 2026.",

  "visitorQuotaNote": "1,000 visitors per day park-wide, split across three scheduled sessions for Komodo National Park as a whole — not a separate quota per island. Since 1 April 2026, visits to Komodo and Padar require advance online booking through the SiOra e-ticket system at the official domain siora.id.",
  "bookingSystemNote": "SiOra (siora.id) is the only official online reservation platform for Komodo National Park e-tickets. Any other domain claiming to be the official Komodo National Park booking system should not be trusted for payment.",
  "tripFormatsNote": "Trip formats covered editorially (operated by Komodo Luxury, not by this site): traditional Indonesian phinisi and modern catamarans, from shared-departure budget boats to fully private charters, in 3-7 day itineraries departing from and returning to Labuan Bajo.",
