Fees · Destination Guide
A quiet Indian Ocean dive island with a wide lagoon, tidal reef passes and rewarding shore days.
Key fee: Mauritius tourist accommodation fee as applied to Rodrigues
Not applicable on Rodrigues (national fee is EUR 3 per eligible guest per night elsewhere)
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Mauritius has a national tourist accommodation fee, but the Mauritius Revenue Authority explicitly states it is not applicable to Rodrigues under the legislation reviewed. The government All-in-One arrival form is free. The 2009 Rodrigues marine protected-area regulations set conduct and authorisation rules; they do not establish a universal dive visitor tag in the reviewed text. Current operator charges, park-specific permissions, islet approvals and reserve admission must be checked individually rather than invented.
