Creator's Key Takeaways

we saw seven different manta rays and they got within inches of us. It was incredible!

one of the coolest things we've ever done ever for sure

I would highly recommend doing the manta ray thing

find yourself a local shortbread maker and just eat any of their cookies because they're all going to be astounding
