What you pay and where
- Pier use fee: COP 18,000, charged by Corpoturismo at the La Bodeguita pier.
- Park entrance (National Natural Parks): COP 13,500 in 2026. Corpoturismo provides the collection service at La Bodeguita and passes it on to the National Parks.
- How to pay: in person at the pier or with the payment link of the National Natural Parks (online payment is the route for those who sail from other authorised piers).
Other travel guides cite different figures (for example, maritime insurance of about COP 8,800 per person). We could not confirm them from an official source, so we do not give them as a rule: check with the partner.
How much cash to bring
Several guides recommend bringing cash in pesos for the pier charges, because there is not always an ATM nearby, and arriving early before departure. This is a recommendation from travel guides, not an official rule.
