Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Pricing changes by season, operator and Argentina's local currency. No current consolidated municipal marine-park admission/tag fee or tourism levy specific to this visitor sector was established from the consulted official sources, so none should be promised or charged based on this guide. Licensed dive lessons, wreck boats, marine-fauna excursions, optional equipment and ground transport may all be priced separately. The one verified published dive figure was for an introductory product that expired March 31, 2026 and is not a current rate.

| Fee | Amount | Applies to | Where to pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Introductory scuba / guided dive session | Quote required in ARS; no verified current price Per trip, operator and date | First-time scuba divers and certified guests as appropriate | Book directly with a provincially authorized local dive provider | A commercial listing showed ARS 120,000 only for January 5-March 31, 2026; that price is expired and is not usable as an October 2026 quote. Clarify pool lesson, gear, boat, instructor and certification charges. |
| Artificial wreck-park excursion | Quote required in ARS Per authorized boat outing | Certified recreational divers, subject to the exact wreck route | Directly with an authorized Las Grutas diving operator | No verified unified wreck ticket, current mooring fee or park-tag amount was found. An operator's fee does not automatically authorize wreck entry or penetration. |
| Licensed marine-fauna / whale-watching boat | Quote required in ARS; seasonal prices vary Per passenger and departure; licensed season only for whales | Topside wildlife watchers | Directly with a currently licensed Las Grutas or San Antonio Este excursion provider | An independent August 2026 report gave an example Rupestre adult standard fare of ARS 150,000 and a different cash fare. These are historical provider quotes, not a public fixed tariff; the official 2026 season ended October 12. |
| Protected bay and any additional regulated access | No general public park-tag price independently verified Check rules and local notices on the visit date | Boat operators, divers and visitors using sensitive protected-area sites | Confirm with Bahia San Antonio protected-area authorities and Prefectura, not an unofficial seller | Compliance with designated zones and wildlife rules is mandatory regardless of whether a visitor fee is charged. No scuba license, technical wreck-penetration access or swimming-with-whales permission is implied. |
| International tourist entry / tourist levy | Nationality-dependent visa fees if a visa is required; no local tourist levy confirmed By nationality and immigration status | International travelers | Official Argentine migration and consular channels | Verify visa rules and any mandatory insurance documentation before travel. Do not confuse local tourism services with national visa fees. |
