Check the tides! I wish I had, as the waves were super high during my visit, which made it tough for swimming. The tide charts are easy to find online.

Get there early, around 8 AM, to beat the crowds and snag a good spot on the beach. The sunrise views are stunning and the water is calmer for swimming

Consider renting a surfboard rather than buying. There are some great local shops near the beach that offer rentals for way cheaper than buying one.

Watch out for the tide changes. I got caught once and had to haul my gear back up the beach, which was a pain. Just check the tide times in advance!

Don’t forget your camera. The views from La Quebrada are stunning, and you'll want to capture all the moments, but remember to be mindful of your surroundings because it can get crowded.

Consider staying for the evening show; it’s magical seeing the divers light up with flaming torches against the sunset!

My advice is to wear water shoes. The platform can get slippery, and you're gonna want to hop in the water without worrying about your feet!

If you're going to do the zip lines, do the higher ones first while you have energy. Those adrenaline-pumping rides will be so much more fun when you’re fresh!

If you're planning to swim in the cenotes, consider renting a snorkel gear on-site instead of bringing your own. It's affordable, and they have great equipment.

If you want to save some bucks, look for combo deals or packages that include other activities. I stumbled upon a great discount on my second day and wish I had checked it out sooner!

i suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks. the food out there can be a bit pricy, and you're gonna want some fuel after all that paddling and snorkeling!
