Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Budget for Tarutao National Park entrance fees on days you visit park islands and marine sites. There is no universal Koh Lipe-specific tourism levy comparable to some Caribbean islands, but standard Thailand entry rules still apply and transfer tickets are separate. Operators often remind guests about park tickets, but you are responsible for holding a valid ticket. Boat tickets (ferries/speedboats and longtails) vary by season and sea state.

Keep the ticket with you on boat days. The park may apply seasonal closures or restrict specific islands and dive sites during monsoon for safety and reef recovery. |
| Speedboat/ferry tickets | Varies by route and season Per trip | Transfers between Pak Bara Pier or Langkawi and Koh Lipe | Operator websites, hotel/dive shop desks, or pier ticket counters | High season sells out around holidays.
