Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Budget for the Toliara-Anakao transfer, separate local dive/snorkel/boat bookings, island or community tickets where required, and a park entry ticket plus compulsory guide if visiting Tsimanampesotse. Madagascar also has a lodging-related tourist vignette and local taxes, whose actual charge depends on the property. The first-party prices below are published indications, not 2026 bookable quotes. The short-stay Madagascar visa fee is disputed across government sources; confirm the relevant process before paying. No single blanket marine-park tag was verified for Anakao/Nosy Ve, so the guide does not invent one.
