Creator's Key Takeaways

the people are so friendly they are indeed very very much

we've had a a card and a cash issue this morning we uh only bought now a little bit of cash over with us cuz we weren't really expecting

it was just unfortunate that you know and these things happen boats break down so not their fault

life's an adventure and today was one of those

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Wear reef shoes or thongs for snorkeling to avoid cut feet on coral
✓Bring plenty of water and sun cream for port visits
✓Ask for children's prices on tours if traveling with younger kids
