O que normalmente se paga
The Cook Islands have no verified country-wide paid recreational marine-park tag in the reviewed official sources. Marae Moana designates protected, managed ocean zones while local ra'ui may restrict access or harvesting; these are not automatically purchasable passes. Normal short visitor permits are issued without a separate arrival fee, while longer stays need paid extension approval. Operator-run dive and lagoon tours are separately priced in New Zealand dollars. International departure tax is included in standard air tickets.
