    The trajinera boats hold up to about 20 people and you may share with other groups. That's the point; it's a social, festive party atmosphere.

    Minimum age 5; the open bar means it leans toward adult fun, though families are welcome.

    Reef-safe sunscreen only. The parks enforce biodegradable sunscreen (titanium dioxide or zinc oxide only); regular sunscreen is not allowed and you may be asked to rinse it off. Buy it before you arrive, since park shops mark it up.

    Water shoes are the single most useful thing to pack. They are required for some Xplor activities and useful everywhere; sandals slip off on zip-lines and in rivers.

    Pack light, because lockers are small. Lockers are free at Xenses and included with Xcaret Plus; otherwise expect a fee.

    Protect your phone. Bring a waterproof case on a neck strap or a GoPro, since many activities need both hands.

    Photo passes are pricey but capture shots you can't get yourself. They're most worth it at night at Xplor Fuego, where personal cameras struggle.
