Top Active Leisure & Sport Spots in Bay Islands

Bring some snacks and water from home. The food prices on the island can be a bit steep, and while the food is decent, it's nice to have your own snacks on hand while lounging.

I suggest renting equipment outside the park if you're planning multiple activities. I paid a bit more at Maya Key's rental, but if you look around beforehand, you might save some cash!

I recommend getting there right when it opens at 9 AM. The early morning light is perfect for snorkelling, and it’s way less crowded, so you can enjoy the marine life without the hustle.

Definitely bring your own snacks and water – the beach bars can be pricey! I regretted not packing more food and drinks.

If you're planning to rent a kayak, go for it early in the morning around 8 AM. The water is calm, and the crowds are smaller, making for a more relaxing experience.

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks to Cayos Cochinos. The prices on the island can be a bit steep, and it was a lifesaver for us to have something on hand while enjoying the beach. Trust me, you don’t want to get hangry while relaxing!

I suggest getting there right when it opens at 9 AM. It was way less crowded, and I could really enjoy the animals and trails without the rush. Trust me, it makes a huge difference!

Bring cash! Some of the smaller local shops and guides only take cash, so don't miss out on a great souvenir or a fantastic guide. I had to run back to the town to find an ATM!

I recommend setting out for your trek early, around 7 AM. The trails get super busy later, and starting early gives you a chance to see the wildlife before it gets too hot

I suggest you wear sturdy shoes; some trails can get muddy. I was slipping around a lot, and it took away from the fun. Cleaned up nicely, though

Bring some snacks and water! It was a bummer to keep stopping for food since there aren't many options inside. Pack a picnic, and enjoy it surrounded by nature.
