Fees · Destination Guide
Mainland Fiji reefs, village culture, and easy resort diving without an island transfer
Key fee: Fiji visitor permit or visa
No separate visitor-permit fee for visa-exempt arrival; visa fees apply for non-exempt passports
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
There is no universal Coral Coast dive tag like Bonaire. Budget instead for normal Fiji entry compliance, operator course or dive pricing, local reef or village contributions where posted, and marine reserve fees for specific add-ons such as Beqa Lagoon shark dives.
