Creator's Key Takeaways
Being able to walk it all by myself. This is what DIY shore excursions are all about.
I literally have it all to myself, and I imagine by this afternoon, it's going to be really, really crowded.
Highly recommend doing it in the morning before the heat and the crowds really set in.
