Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
No reliable Mataiva-specific marine-park tag, blanket snorkel-entry fee, public pass-access fee, guide tariff or scuba price list was established. Do not transfer Fakarava or Rangiroa rules into this atoll. Confirm whether a municipal accommodation tax applies to your 2026 booking, ask the local operator for its actual rates, and obtain permission for private, sacred or regulated fishing areas. Fishing restrictions are not a paid visitor access pass. Territorial tax guidance; Mataiva ZPR reporting.
