Creator's Key Takeaways

It's really really hot. And that really adds to kind of the confusion uh that you're going to face.

The people that we ended up going with, they were all super awesome and it was super safe and we had a really great time.

Just be aware that when you get back to the cruise terminal, you may have to wait a while in the giant tin shed.

✓Be prepared to haggle with local vendors and drivers.

✓Know exactly what you want and how much you're willing to pay.
