Creator's Key Takeaways

The purpose of this video is to take you step by step from one of the furthest dock chips to the official taxi stand.

It can all be done by foot. So, this isn't a sightseeing video, but it is a video about catching a taxi to do some sightseeing.

One thing I remember about this walk was that it was hot. So, if the heat bothers you, make sure you bring a hat.

Here's one of my tips. If you do take a taxi, whether it be or anywhere, always take a picture of the taxi that you're in.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a hat if the heat bothers you.
Take a picture of the taxi and license plate for safety.
Ask the welcome center for recommendations on beaches and tours.
Use the shuttle service if walking is an issue.
