Fees · Destination Guide
Pink sands, Atlantic reef edges, wreck history and island-to-island day trips
Key fee: Valentines two-tank guided scuba (operator reference)
Published $182 per person,
with minimum 4 paying divers; VAT may be additional
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Expect separate operator charges, transport fares, potential park admission, and taxes. The Valentines rate sheet marked 10/25 and the Bahamas Ferries tariff are reference snapshots only; neither establishes same-day inventory or final checkout price. The Bahamas National Trust's July 2026 admission revision conflicts with an older Leon Levy Preserve page, so even a published park price needs confirmation. No single blanket Eleuthera/Harbour Island marine-park scuba tag or region-wide diver levy was verified; get site-specific permission and fees from the actual managing body. Air passenger departure taxes are usually handled through transport pricing, but confirm the ticket and carrier rather than inventing a standalone tourism arrival levy.
