Fees · Destination Guide
Fiji's easiest island-reef escape, with Denarau day boats and Mamanuca resort reefs
Key fee: Airport Departure Tax
FJ$200 from 1 August 2025 for most international departures
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
There is no single Mamanuca-wide dive permit or marine park tag for all visitors. Budget instead for Fiji's air departure tax, standard goods-and-services taxes included or added to invoices, variable resort or village fees, and activity-specific conservation charges where operators apply them.
