Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
There is no single countrywide dive tag that covers Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The main marine fee travelers actually encounter is for Tobago Cays Marine Park, plus any visitor-permit extension if you stay longer than your initial immigration grant. Boat-based travelers should also factor in mooring or anchoring charges where applicable.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tobago Cays Marine Park entry fee | EC$15 per person Per visit / park entry | - | TCMP PAY or official Tobago Cays Marine Park collection channels | Official fee applies to visitors entering the park by yacht, charter boat, cruise ship, pleasure boat, or dive boat. Confirm how your operator handles payment before departure. |
| Tobago Cays local excursion fee | EC$5 per person Per local excursion | - | Through the excursion operator or official park collection channels | This lower rate is listed for local excursions rather than standard park-boat arrivals.
