The Tobago cruise port is a hidden gem in the southern Caribbean and a resort day pass is one of the best ways to spend your time at port. Instead of piecing together individual activities, you get all-inclusive access to a resort’s beach, pools, food, and drinks for one fixed price.

We’ve cruised to Tobago and have done the “standard” tours. They’re great. Tobago has pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, tropical weather, and warm, welcoming people. But we’ve found that the most convenient way to enjoy everything Tobago has to offer is with a resort day pass.

Below, we compare every Tobago resort day pass option available to cruise passengers. We include pricing, ratings, amenities, and distance from the cruise port. You’ll find everything that you need to make the best decision possible for your Tobago shore excursion!

// FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much is a Tobago resort day pass?

Adult passes cost $72 to $130, depending on the resort and what is included. Child passes cost $36 to $65.

Which Tobago day pass is closest to the cruise port?

Mount Irvine Bay Resort is the closest, about 32 minutes from the cruise port by road.

Can kids use a Tobago resort day pass?

Kids are welcome at Crown Point Beach Hotel (ages 4 to 12), Coco Reef Resort (ages 3 to 12) and Mount Irvine Bay Resort (ages 4 to 12).

How do I get from the Scarborough cruise port to the resort?

You’ll find taxis right outside the cruise terminal in Scarborough. The resorts offering day passes are generally a short ride from port. Check each listing to see whether round-trip transfers are included. If you’re taking a taxi on your own, just confirm the fare before you get in.

Should I book my Tobago resort day pass in advance?

We’d recommend it. Tobago is a smaller island and resort day passes can have limited availability, especially when multiple cruise ships are in port. Booking ahead guarantees your spot and usually gets you the best rate. You can book online through the links in each listing above.

Is a Tobago resort day pass worth it?

We think it’s one of the smartest moves you can make. If you add up what a DIY beach day costs (chair rentals, food, drinks, snorkeling), you’re easily looking at $80-$100+ per person. A day pass bundles it all at one price with resort-quality facilities, cleaner equipment, and way less hassle. Plus, Tobago’s natural beauty is best enjoyed when you’re fully relaxed and not stressing about logistics.
