Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
The legal gate is the Narvik Port diving permit, for which the port charges an unspecified administration fee. Published Dive Narvik package prices are commercial offers, not statutory dues, and may change. Norway's new optional local accommodation levy could not be collected before 1 January 2027 according to its 2026 government FAQ, so do not add a universal 2026 tourist tax. No destination-wide marine park dive tag is verified for the approved Narvik and Ofotfjord scope.
