Important Notice: U.S. National Park Non-Resident Fee:
Effective January 1, 2026, the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) will require a mandatory non-resident entrance fee for all non-U.S. residents aged 16 and older entering select U.S. National Parks. The fee is $100 per person, per park entry, and applies to visits to the following parks:
- Acadia
- Bryce Canyon
- Everglades
- Glacier
- Grand Canyon
- Grand Teton
- Rocky Mountain
- Sequoia & Kings Canyon
- Yellowstone
- Yosemite
- Zion
Park officials will require proof of U.S. citizenship or residency at entry, including a U.S. passport, U.S. state-issued driver’s license or ID, or Permanent Resident Card (“green card”) to waive non-resident entrance fee. Fees are assessed and collected directly by NPS. Fees are not included in the tour price and cannot be controlled or waived by tour operators.
Non-Resident Annual Pass: A new 'America the Beautiful – Non-Resident Annual Pass' is available to purchase for $250 and is valid for 12 months from date of purchase. It waives the $100 per-visit fee at participating parks and covers the passholder plus up to three additional adults (16+). The pass is non-refundable, non-transferable, and requires valid photo ID.
Important Note: Gate 1 cannot refund standard park entrance fees, as these fees are prepaid in advance for the group and are non-refundable, even if a pass is held.
