Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Saba's verified charges are not the same as Bonaire's tourist tax or dive-tag scheme. Sea Saba currently reports a per-dive contribution split between marine park management and the island's chamber fund, and a separate per-person snorkeling fee. Saba Tourism says hotels collect a small nightly nature fee for trails and describes a cash departure tax. Yacht/mooring charges apply separately to private vessels. These are recorded source amounts, not guarantees of what a future package includes; confirm with the collecting operator, lodging and departure authority. No separate flat-rate universal Saba visitor levy was verified for this assignment.
