Creator's Key Takeaways

we were back on the ship at least an hour before they were du to leave

I can't recommend it enough um all my my fears not that had many were put to rest when we got here

it was one of the nicer ports we went to and it was certainly nice to be close to the port

if you're comfortable with that uh you certainly could get the tender booat as early as possible going ashore just time it so you can

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a private tour instead of a ship tour to save money if you time it right.
Get on the tender as early as possible to maximize time in port.
Be aware of peak times at the port to avoid long waits and sun exposure.

Not having enough time in portYou have more time than you think; get on the tender early and plan your tour.
Choosing the right elephant sanctuaryMake sure you're going to the same sanctuary as in the video, as there are multiple on the island.
