What people usually pay
There is no single Praslin or La Digue dive tag. Instead, budget for the arrival formalities, the accommodation sustainability levy where it applies, and individual SPGA protected-area tickets for places such as Curieuse, Iles Cocos, and the Veuve Reserve.
| Fee | Amount | Applies to | Where to pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seychelles Travel Authorisation | EUR 10 standard processing per trip | All arriving travelers | Where to pay | Apply before departure. Official guidance says you can submit up to 30 days before travel, and standard review can take up to 24 hours. |
| Tourism Environmental Sustainability Levy | SCR 75 to SCR 100 per person per night per night | Visitors staying in medium, large, island-resort, or yacht accommodation | Collected by your accommodation at checkout | From 1 January 2026, official guidance says small accommodation establishments are exempt. Children aged 12 and under are exempt, and medium properties charge SCR 75 while large properties, island resorts, and yachts charge SCR 100. |
| Curieuse Marine National Park entry | SCR 300 day entry | Non-residents above 12 years | Where to pay | This is the main fee for Curieuse landings and conservation access. Some excursions bundle logistics, but verify whether the park ticket is already included. |
| Iles Cocos Marine National Park entry | SCR 200 day entry | Non-residents above 12 years | Where to pay | Relevant for many popular Praslin and La Digue snorkel and day-boat circuits. Children under 12 are admitted free according to SPGA visitor guidance. |
| Veuve Special Reserve entry | SCR 150 unguided or SCR 200 guided single visit | Non-residents above 12 years | Where to pay | Useful if you want to pair La Digue beach time with endemic birding. The reserve is one of the best places to look for the Seychelles black paradise flycatcher. |
