Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
The sources establish published transport and dive-service prices, not a universal Tinian marine-park ticket. STAR lists a standard USD $85 one-way Saipan-Tinian flight; Fishguyz lists USD $170 per person for two Tinian boat dives, before advertised gear rental. These are posted examples, not current quotes or booked availability. A Tinian-specific dive permit fee, public beach admission fee, reef tax or payable marine-park tag was not independently verified. Do not apply Saipan Grotto's separate charges to Tinian Grotto. The DCRM and DLNR disagree about active Tinian Marine Reserve designation; ask DLNR/DFW about rules and any required permits.

| Saipan to Tinian scheduled flight (posted full fare) | USD $85 one-way, advertised; subject to change Per person, one flight; fare not locked | Visitors using inter-island passenger flights | STAR Marianas Air reservations | The airline fare page posts USD $85 standard one-way, 20 lb baggage plus a 10 lb personal item, and possible additional baggage charges. Discount resident and other fare classes have eligibility rules. This is not a reserved seat. |
| Saipan-origin two-dive Tinian excursion (published operator rate) | USD $170 per person advertised, plus possible equipment rental Two advertised dives; trip date, boat, actual sites and price unconfirmed | Qualified scuba guests on an operator-confirmed excursion | Fishguyz Scuba & Charter, directly with operator | Fishguyz publishes USD $170 for two Tinian dives and a USD $40/day equipment-rental fee. Its published nonrefundable deposit and cancellation policy may be material. Treat the webpage as marketing rather than actual inventory or a guaranteed Tinian site. |
| Tinian marine reserve, visitor sites and activity permissions | No verified universal Tinian diver tag or beach entry levy Verify current legal and management status at time of visit | Divers, snorkelers, swimmers and other shore users | No verified general marine tag seller; contact CNMI DLNR/Division of Fish and Wildlife | DLNR describes a no-take Tinian Marine Reserve, while page 10 of the 2025 DCRM guide says it is not active. This inconsistency is not permission to collect. Separate military-area entry approvals are required for restricted land; do not assume any public ticket grants it. |
