surcharges, port clearance & park entry fees

The prices quoted on the rates pages are fully inclusive of meals onboard and all dives but due to local regulations and the remote areas that we visit we are forced to apply the following fees and surcharges to some cruises. Please note that all fees and surcharges are subject to change at very short notice in line with prevailing conditions in Indonesia.

Raja Ampat Entrance Fee

Raja Ampat, one of the most bio-diverse marine areas in the world, was declared a National Park effective August 12, 2007. ALL divers are now required by law to pay an entrance fee of US$55 per person to dive in this area. The entrance ticket is valid for one year and will go towards supporting reef conservation and community development. This project is managed by three major NGOs, CORAL INTERNATIONAL (www.coral.org), WWF (www.wwf.org) and TNC (www.nature.org).

The Raja Ampat Entrance Fee applies to any voyage starting or ending in Sorong (Irian Jaya) and is included in your Port Clearance Fee. If you would like further information about how revenue generated from your entrance fee is utilized, please visit the project web site at www.diverajaampat.org
