Fees · Destination Guide
Limestone caves, red coral walls and protected island water on Sardinia's wild northwest edge
Key fee: Capo Caccia private scuba or apnea authorization
EUR 10 daily; EUR 20 weekly; EUR 50 monthly; EUR 200 annual
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
There is no single destination-wide marine tag. Instead, budget for activity-specific access: private Capo Caccia scuba or apnea authorization, La Pelosa's seasonal QR reservation, Asinara transport or guided services, and optional attraction admission. Guided dive centers may bundle their own MPA permissions, but travelers should confirm this before payment. Accommodation taxes, where charged, are municipal and property dependent rather than one uniform northwest Sardinia levy.
