Creator's Key Takeaways

Just want to converse with your neighbor or hear yourself think, it might not be the place to do it.

It's very pretty. It's well done.

Today, do I recommend it this day? No, I don't recommend it today.

Tino Bay 7 out of 10.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Keep to the left and keep walking if you see a big lineup at the port, as it's for tuk tuks, not the ship.
Visit during a quieter port day for a better experience.
