Turtle Island Bali’s entrance fee is generally structured around a base charge for site access plus a separate cost for the glass-bottom boat crossing from Tanjung Benoa pier, and this can differ between domestic and international visitors as well as between adults and children. As of 2027, exact figures are set and periodically revised by local site management, so this guide focuses on structure and what to ask rather than fixed numbers, which our team confirms directly at the time of booking.
How Is the Entrance Fee Typically Structured?
Most turtle island-style attractions in Indonesia, including sites in the Tanjung Benoa area, apply a tiered fee structure: one rate for domestic Indonesian visitors and another for international visitors, plus separate child and adult pricing within each tier. Group rates for schools or larger tour parties are also common, though eligibility and discount levels can vary. For a closer look at domestic-specific figures and structure, see our companion page on Turtle Island Tanjung Benoa pricing (in Indonesian).
Is There a Separate Conservation Donation?
Some conservation-oriented sites in Bali include an additional voluntary or built-in conservation contribution alongside the standard entrance fee, intended to support ongoing site upkeep and animal care. Whether this applies at Turtle Island, and how it’s structured, can change over time based on site management policy. We recommend asking our team directly what’s included in your specific ticket, since we don’t want to state a donation structure here that may no longer be accurate by the time you visit.
How Package Differences Affect What You Pay
- Standard entry covers the boat crossing and site access only.
- Combo packages that add water sports or hotel pickup naturally cost more than standard entry alone.
- Private boat options for couples or small groups typically carry a different cost structure than shared crossings.
- Group and school rates often apply a per-head adjustment rather than the standard individual rate.

Booking Through Our Official Website vs. Third Parties
We describe our booking channel as an official, direct line to our team rather than an anonymous third-party reseller — meaning when you book with us via WhatsApp or email, you’re speaking with the people who will actually coordinate your visit, not a marketplace listing with limited follow-up support. This matters most when something changes, such as weather affecting your crossing time, since a direct contact can respond and adjust quickly. If you’d prefer to book online through our ticketing page directly, see our official online ticket booking page.
What Determines Your Final Entrance Fee for International Visitors
For international travelers, the final entrance fee generally depends on age tier (adult or child), whether you’re booking standard entry or a combo package, and group size. Because currency conversion and periodic fee revisions can affect the exact amount you pay compared to what you might see quoted elsewhere online, we always confirm the current applicable rate with you directly before finalizing your booking, rather than relying on a fixed number published months earlier.
Common Questions About the Entrance Fee
Does the entrance fee include the boat crossing, or is that separate?
This depends on the specific package. Some listings bundle both into a single figure, while others break them out. We’ll clarify exactly what’s included when you book with us.
Why do prices for the “same” tour sometimes look different across websites?
Different operators may bundle different inclusions (boat type, pickup, add-ons) under the same general name, which makes direct price comparisons misleading unless you check what’s actually included in each listing.
Can I get a discount for a large family group?
Group discounts are sometimes available depending on group size and current site policy. Mention your group size when booking and our team will let you know what applies.
Is the entrance fee refundable if weather cancels the crossing?
If a crossing needs to be canceled due to unsafe sea conditions, our team will work with you on rescheduling or an appropriate resolution rather than leaving you without options.
How to Get an Accurate Quote for Your Visit
The most reliable way to get an accurate entrance fee quote is to message our team directly with your travel dates, nationality mix within your group (if relevant to pricing tiers), number of adults and children, and whether you want standard entry or a combo package. We’ll respond with current, accurate figures rather than outdated numbers that may no longer reflect site policy.

Why We Don’t Publish a Fixed Price Table
We intentionally avoid listing specific dollar or rupiah amounts on this page because entrance fees at Turtle Island are set by local site management and can be revised without significant public notice. A number that was accurate six months ago may already be outdated, and publishing it here would risk giving you the wrong expectation before you even land in Bali. Instead, we treat pricing as something to confirm at the point of booking, when we can give you figures that actually apply to your travel dates.
What to Do If You See Conflicting Prices Online
It’s common to find several different price figures for Turtle Island across travel forums, old blog posts, and third-party booking sites, some of which may be years out of date. Rather than trying to reconcile conflicting numbers yourself, the more reliable approach is to message a local operator directly and ask for the current rate applicable to your exact travel dates and group composition. This is generally faster and more accurate than cross-referencing multiple outdated sources.
Booking With Confidence
When you reach out to our team, we’ll walk you through exactly what’s included in your quoted price — boat crossing, site entrance, any add-ons — so there’s no ambiguity before you commit. If your travel plans are still flexible, we’re also happy to suggest which combination of package and timing tends to offer the best overall value based on current conditions, without pressuring you into a bigger package than you actually need.
