Volcanic walls, a historic bomber wreck and a protected coast where the rules shape the adventure
Key fee: Local taxe de sejour
Variable EUR amount by municipality and accommodation category
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
There is no general marine-park dive tag for this coast. Scandola does not sell a recreational scuba permit because scuba diving inside the reserve is prohibited. Budget instead for operator-set dive or excursion prices, equipment rental and the local accommodation tax when charged. Current prices should be confirmed directly because seasonal packages and fuel conditions change.
