Here is a comprehensive checklist you can share with your group so everyone is fully prepared for the pickleball, snorkeling, and travel logistics in Cabo!
🏓 Pickleball Essentials 10:00am-12:00pm temps 73-82°
Since you’ll be hitting the courts at Cardon Padel, players will definitely want to bring their own primary gear, though the court surface and Cabo heat require a few specific items:
- Court Shoes: True court shoes (not running shoes) are essential for lateral movement on the padel/pickleball surfaces to avoid slipping.
- Paddles & Balls: Remind everyone to pack their favorite paddles in their carry-on (just in case luggage gets delayed!). Bringing a few outdoor balls (like X-40s) is always a good backup.
- Moisture-Wicking Apparel: Cabo is warm and humid in June. Lightweight, breathable shirts, shorts, or skirts are a must.
- Sweat Management: Pack extra grip tape, wristbands, and a couple of small cooling towels.
- Sun Protection on Court: Polarized sunglasses (to track the ball against the bright sky) and a high-quality hat or visor.
🤿 Snorkeling & Beach Day
Since the actual snorkeling gear (masks, snorkels, fins, and life jackets) is fully provided on your excursion, guests just need to pack their personal beach essentials:
- Swimsuits & Cover-ups: At least two swimsuits so one can dry while wearing the other.
- Biodegradable / Reef-Safe Sunscreen: Many marine tours in Cabo strictly require reef-safe sunscreen to protect the local ecosystem and coral reefs.
- Rash Guard: Highly recommended for snorkeling to provide both UV protection and a barrier against any ocean stingers or friction from the life vest.
- Waterproof Phone Pouch: Perfect for taking underwater photos or videos during the snorkel excursion without risking water damage.
- Dry Bag or Small Backpack: To keep dry clothes, towels, and phones safe from boat splashes.
✈️ Travel Documents & Money Logistics
Navigating the airport and local venues smoothly comes down to having these sorted out before departure:
- Passport: Must be valid for the duration of the stay. It’s smart to take a digital photo of the photo page and keep it on the phone.
- Cash & Currency (Pesos vs. Dollars):
- U.S. Dollars are widely accepted in Cabo, especially for tips, taxis, and restaurants. However, if paying in USD, change is almost always given back in Pesos.
- Small Bills are King: Remind everyone to bring plenty of crisp, small U.S. bills ($1, $5, and $10) for tipping tour drivers, boat captains, baggage handlers, and resort staff.
- Credit Cards: Most major restaurants and shops take cards. Advise guests to check if their cards have no foreign transaction fees and to set a travel notice if their bank requires it.
Pro Tip for Arrival: Remind the group that once they clear customs at the Cabo airport and pass the baggage claim, they will walk through a room full of aggressive timeshare salespeople (often called the “Shark Tank”) offering free tours or cheap taxis. Tell everyone to keep walking straight out the doors to the official transportation area to meet your pre-arranged shuttle!
