FAQ

How much is De Palm Island?

The official site lists the entry ticket from $129; the GetYourGuide day pass was €160.44 on 6 November 2026.

Is the day pass worth it?

Yes if you will use the open bar, buffet, snorkel tours and water park over a full day (10:00 to 17:00). If you want only a swim and a boat ride, the catamaran costs less.

Do I need to book ahead?

Tickets can be bought at the terminal only until 2:00 pm and are not guaranteed in high season, so book online.
