Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Budget for accommodation, airline tickets, booked operator outings, any locally required access permissions and the published Kosrae USD $20 departure tax. The state HPO and local providers do not establish a universal islandwide reef tag or a verified current fixed entry rate for Utwe-Walung, Blue Hole or Lelu ruins. Do not prepay a fee based on an obsolete operator rate table: get a written quote and ask who collects community or landowner charges.
