Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
For 2026 the archipelago's mandatory visitor tourism card is reported at COP 153,000 under Decree 0010, comprising COP 116,000 for the card and COP 37,000 for tourism public infrastructure. The official service portal displays an older conflicting fee and should not be treated as the current price. Separately, protected parks such as Johnny Cay and some Old Point activities use managed admissions/permissions, but a current visitor ticket value was not verified. No general mandatory Seaflower per-diver tag charge was established. All operator, equipment, course and park prices require date-specific confirmation.
