Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
No mandatory general tourism levy, marine-park tag or universal island-wide snorkeling permit was verified for the inhabited La Desirade guide area. Expect ordinary ferry fares, any separately quoted instructor/dive fees and ground transport. COMADILE publishes reference return fares, and a third-party booking page quotes an introductory dive starting price. Prices are not live inventory. The geological reserve's conservation restrictions apply regardless of any admission fee. Petite Terre is separately protected and may require paid, reserved moorings or authorized commercial transport; those permits are not included in this destination.
