What people usually pay
The must-budget conservation fee is the Namena Marine Reserve tag. Fiji entry itself is handled through visitor-permit rules rather than a Savusavu-specific tourism levy in the official travel requirements used here. Accommodation, tours, and operators may add or include local taxes and service charges on invoices.

| Namena Marine Reserve Dive or Snorkel Tag | FJ$30 per person Usually valid for the reserve visit or tag period issued by the operator; confirm at purchase | Divers, snorkelers, and reserve users entering Namena Marine Reserve | Savusavu dive operators, resorts, or authorized Namena tag agents before entering the reserve | The fee supports reserve management, mooring maintenance, patrols, awareness, and community benefits.
