Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Prices are indicative published listings, not verified tickets for a future visit. Carry Malagasy ariary for local site fees and check whether a captain or guide bundles entrance fees. The Mer d Emeraude, Montagne des Francais, Cap Diego and Nosy Hara tourism listings quote specific charges. The accommodation tourist vignette and possible local commune taxes are separate from park tickets; accommodation and category affect amount. Current scuba prices are not verified, as the operator page had an expiry in May 2026. No general Diego Bay scuba marine-park tag could be confirmed; Nosy Hara is a separately managed fee-paying national park.
