Tobago Cay Collection of Park User Fee
yacht entry fees for the TCMP based on the size of the vessel. Under this system, all park users are required to pay an entry fee, allowing a stay of up to 24 hours. Longer stay requires additional payments or larger advance payments. The entry fee only applies for access to the protection zone.
Visitors to Mayreau and local residents of that island are not required to pay the entry fee.
The park has required a payment for each barbeque held on Petit Bateau.
This potentially includes barbeques held by private parties, but more often involves barbeques arranged by vendors or other local operators where meals are sold to tourists. The fee charged $25 for a barbeque for up to 10 persons, or $10 per person for larger sized groups is payable in addition to the park entry fee. People organizing barbeques are expected to fully clean their sites after us and remove all garbage.
