Remote wrecks, reef pinnacles, and living WWII history across Iron Bottom Sound
Key fee: Tourist visa or eVisa
USD $100 visa fee plus USD $50 online fee when eVisa applies
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Tulagi and the Florida Islands do not have a Bonaire-style universal marine park tag. The real fee planning is visa or visitor-permit cost when applicable, operator charges, village or resource-owner access fees, and liveaboard marine, port, or kastom fees when an itinerary includes them. Pay these through reputable operators and keep cash for local arrangements.
