Frequently Asked Questions
• Is this better than a full-day tour?
If you value peace and quiet, yes. Full-day tours catch the peak hours of heat and crowds. The Playa Blanca Sunset Experience is specifically curated for relaxation and "slow travel."
• What should I bring?
Just your swimwear and a change of clothes. We provide towels (service included) and the club has secure areas for your belongings.
