What’s Included vs What Costs Extra (Park Fees & More)?

Most quoted rates cover the boat, guide, tanks, and weights — but a handful of line items are almost always billed on top, and that is where budgets get caught off guard.

Usually included

dive guide, tank and weight rental, boat transport, drinking water, and — on liveaboards — cabin, full board, and non-diving stops at Komodo, Padar, or Rinca.

Usually extra

Komodo National Park entrance and diving fees (on request, payable locally), Nitrox surcharge, personal dive or travel insurance, flights to Labuan Bajo (LBJ), gratuities, and full equipment rental if you are not diving with your own gear.

If you would rather not price each line separately, ask about a custom Labuan Bajo all-inclusive diving package built around your certification level and number of diving days — see our diving packages page for how these are structured.
