What to Bring

On this page are the essentials that you should bring with you on your trip to Cancun. You can consider this as a packing checklist as you’re packing for your trip!

What to bring:

  • Cash in Pesos or cash since ATMs and porters aren’t always available right away.
  • Your passport is the most important thing to bring! You won’t be able to get in or out of the country if you don’t have it with you!
  • A waterproof phone pouch if you want to be able to record or use your phone while in the water, fully submerged.
  • A pair of walking shoes for when you’re taking tours around Cancun or just walking around in general.
  • Sunglasses since the sun is very bright so it’s important to protect your eyes.
  • Bathing suits!!! Swimming is one of the most popular things that tourists do on their visit to Cancun. Even if you don’t intend to swim, it will be hard to resist when you’re there.
  • High SPF sunblock.
  • Shampoo and conditioner since your hair can do some damage to your hair.
  • Bug repellent for when you’re going on your tours like the Mayan Ruins.
  • Anti-theft travel backpack to keep your stuff safe when you’re out.
  • Towels to dry off
  • Hygiene essentials such as toothbrush/toothpaste, facial moisturizer, etc.
