Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Use published amounts as indicative source prices, not booking confirmations. FRS lists adult round-trip ZEN fares from Trois-Rivieres. La Dive Bouteille lists equipped exploration and a Sec Pate supplement, but posted a 2026 closure and has not had reopening independently verified. Freediving Les Saintes lists introductory and guided activities without date-confirmed sessions. The Terre-de-Haut municipality explicitly imposes lodging tourist tax in 2026. No compulsory destination-wide dive park tag or general shore-snorkeling permit was established from reviewed primary sources.
