Wear Your 2004 Bunaken Entrance Tag with Pride!
The North Sulawesi Provincial Government is proud to announce the Bunaken National Park Entrance Fee System for 2004. In accordance with Provincial Law Number 9/2002, the 2004 entrance fees for foreign visitors are Rp 50,000 per daily ticket (approximately US$6) or Rp 150,000 (approximately US$17) for a waterproof plastic entrance tag valid for the full calendar year.

Tags (or tickets) must be carried at all times the guest is within park boundaries and can easily be affixed to guests' diving or snorkeling gear or on backpacks. Enforcement of the entrance fee system is conducted via spot checks by park rangers on land and at sea.

The entrance fee system has been adapted from the well-known Bonaire Marine Park system and was successful in raising over $250,000 for conservation programs in Bunaken during the period from 2001-2003.

Entrance tags and tickets can be purchased from Two Fish Divers, through the other marine tourism operators based in Manado and in the Bunaken National Park, or can be purchased from one of three ticket counters in Bunaken and Liang villages on Bunaken Island and on Siladen Island.

The proceeds from the sales of the entrance tags are managed by Bunaken National Park Management Advisory Board (BNPMAB), a multistakeholder board that NSWA is a member of.
