ABOUT YOUR CUSTOM TOUR IN THE RIVIERA MAYA
You can only use natural products on the reef and better not use any sunscreen in the cenotes. Organic Sun Block and Insect Repellent are available! As snorkelers we always recommend to swim with a long-sleeve shirt or a swimming rash-guard. Using a Long sleeve shirt will protect your skin from the sun and will help us maintain the reefs and cenotes as neat as we like it. Our second option is to get Organic or Natural sun lotion. The base ingredients that are allowed are titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide. Please notice that buying “BIO” sunscreen is not the best option. Thanks for your understanding and support.
--- Safe for kids, blocks UVA/UVB rays. SPF 50. 4.2 oz / 125 ml.
Or tell Us you need one and we will get it for you! (50 SPF Organic Sunscreen). Price for the mosquito repellent is the same price: 10 USD per bottle. Both have been tested by us and we use them every day.
Please notify us when you make your booking, or two days before your tour!

Tipping is a widely practiced social custom in Mexico as it is in the United States. Tipping by definition is voluntary. The amount you tip is at your discretion and should be based on the quality of service you received. Tour guide will split tips with driver: you may choose to tip extra for superior service only, (optional 10 to 20% if you are pleased with your tour).
In All-Inclusive hotels you do have the option to slip some bills to those resort workers that go out of their way, most hotel staff are happy to receive tips. Tips at "a la carte" restaurants go from 10 to 20%.
A Custom Tour is suitable for most ages, however, it is not recommended for small babies. We do not have an age limit! It is a must to be able to swim (with floating help) and walk!

Absolutely not! We provide Life Jackets.
