Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
There is no single marine park tag system like some Caribbean destinations, but access to Rowley Shoals is controlled through licensing, mooring bookings, and marine park rules. Most visitors pay the relevant visa fee for Australia and then access the Shoals via a commercial operator where park compliance is built into the itinerary.
