There is no entrance fee for a pass to cover. Senior and Access passes cut the Trunk Bay day fee to $2.50 for the holder and the $26 overnight mooring fee to $13; the Access and Military passes make Trunk Bay free for the holder. The fee-free days do NOT waive the Trunk Bay fee - it is an Expanded Amenity Fee. Federal passes are sold at the Trunk Bay fee booth and the Cruz Bay Visitor Center.
