Creator's Key Takeaways

The whole place seemed tired and glum.

Your mission is to well get out. A much more interesting island awaits.

We got our money back. I think I could definitely recommend the business just because they are actually doing a fair and respectable business.

This is really cool. The water is so steel.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Pre-book a tour, hire a taxi, or rent a car to get out of the industrial port area.
โœ“Use only taxis with yellow license plates; they are government-licensed.
โœ“Rent a car from a provider near the airport for better options and port pickup.
โœ“Carry small bills for taxi fares as they are cash-only.
โœ“Get a picture of the port agent's contact info for any delays.
