Dive lava-built walls by day, watch an active volcano after dark
Key fee: Comune di Lipari landing contribution
EUR 5 from June 1 to September 30 and EUR 2.50 otherwise in the reviewed tariff record; verify the current
ticket line item
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
The principal general visitor charge is the Comune di Lipari landing contribution, usually collected through the carrier or excursion ticket. Reviewed municipal pages confirm the charge and its responsible office; the published seasonal amount should still be checked on the live ticket because tariffs and exemptions can change. No archipelago-wide public marine-park dive tag was identified in the reviewed sources. Separate costs may apply for a certified Stromboli guide, specialty boat days and operator-managed access to protected archaeological sites.
