    Ask staff whether a helmet already has a GoPro mount; selfie sticks are often not allowed on the zip-lines.

    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.

    Shuttles run from the hotel roughly every 30 minutes to Xcaret, Xplor, Xplor Fuego, and Xenses. Confirm pickup times with the concierge. As a hotel guest your admission and transport are already covered.

    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.
