Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Operator pricing is not standardized. Liquid currently advertises guided dives from EUR 50-55 and ocean safaris at EUR 55, with no extra far-reef or government charge on its dive page. Tofo Scuba publishes a differently structured price page with far-reef and weekly government charge entries, and its ocean safari FAQ states USD $55. No authoritative, standalone Tofo/Barra marine national park entry tag or fee schedule was verified. Do not substitute Bazaruto, Ponta do Ouro or Maputo reserve fees. For nationality-based entry, a 2026 ETA/processing charge may apply even to visa-exempt travelers; verify the total on the official portal. All figures are advertised examples, not quotations or bookability confirmations.
