Use reef-safe sunscreen
Bring and apply reef-safe sunscreen before entering the water to protect corals and avoid needing to rinse repeatedly on tour.
Wear closed-toe water shoes
Rocky shorelines and beach club entries are easier with grippy water shoes that also protect from sharp coral.
Plan for ferry timing
Allow buffer time for the round-trip ferry from Playa del Carmen—arrive at the pier early to avoid missing the group departure.
Manage seasickness proactively
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before the ferry ride; the catamaran crossing can be choppy on windier days.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects coral and reduces need to rinse after swimming.
Water shoes
Protect feet on rocky shorelines and make boarding easier.
Small dry bag
Keeps phone, wallet and spare clothes dry during snorkel and beach stops.
Light long-sleeve sun shirt
