The Experience
Before You Go
Bring closed-toe shoes
ATV and horseback sections require sturdy, closed-toe footwear to protect toes and provide grip.
Pack biodegradable sunscreen
Cenotes and reef systems are sensitive—use reef-safe sunscreen to reduce chemical runoff.
Hydrate before and during
A 6–8 hour day in tropical weather demands steady hydration; bottled water is provided but bring a refillable bottle.
Secure cameras and phones
Use a small dry bag or strap for electronics—there are splash and dust hazards on ATVs and at the cenote.
