Terceira does not operate a universal marine park tag system like some reef destinations. Most costs are activity-based: dive trips are priced by operators, and major cave attractions have fixed entry tickets. For protected areas and archaeological sites, the key requirement is behavior: no collecting, no touching, and follow briefing rules.
