Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Park fees, shop prices and insurance are separate concepts. The official Tayrona tariff page gives 2026 charges by season and residency group, including a distinct Bahia Concha tariff. Park access requires a visitor accident-assistance policy. A separate universal marine scuba tag or national tourist levy for this precise scope was not independently verified; do not manufacture one. Inquire whether a dive quote includes the park ticket and its policy, as a shop's ordinary dive insurance is not necessarily the same coverage. Recheck rates before paying.
