What to bring

Coba & Tulum: Restrooms, refreshments and gift shops are available at the end of the tour. Note: A lot of walking at both sites. Wear comfortable walking shoes, preferably sneakers (hard soles slip on the rocks). Please be advised that the walking areas at the ruins are uneven and one must be careful with every step taken.   Wear a bathing suit under your clothing - the beach at the Tulum ruins is one of the best around and you wouldn't want to miss swimming there. Bring a camera-it's stunning.  There may be a small charge for entering with video equipment. Mosquito repellent is highly recommended at Coba, and a hat is recommended for the day.

Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve:  Wear sneakers for jungle walking or site climbing. Wear a bathing suit under your clothing (a changing room is available after the jungle trek), wear a hat, bring a knapsack, mosquito repellent from start of tour through the jungle. As a rule of the Reserve, mosquito repellent will need to be washed off in a shower provided in the restrooms at the loading dock, before entering the boats, so as not to disturb the ecology of the lake and canal waters.

We will be on a boat and at a certain point we will be out of the boat and floating along an ancient mangrove waterway (your belongings can be left in the boat, which will be within view). We will then have a picnic lunch at the beach.
