Creator's Key Takeaways

It can accommodate several ships though, so it can get pretty crowded.

There's really not much to do at this port.

The taxi stand is pretty easy to find and it's government regulated. The prices are clearly marked.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take an excursion or find a taxi to go elsewhere on the island.
Use the government-regulated taxi stand with clearly marked prices.
Note that taxi prices listed are one way.
Get a wristband from the taxi stand and show it for return trips.
