Creator's Key Takeaways

We've got no idea when we're getting on the ship, who we're getting on the ship with, or what we're doing, but we're just going to sit here and pretend we're not stressed.

The kayaking's included in the cost of the cruise, so there's no additional charges. And even with the miserable wet weather, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

I think the sauce is passion fruit. A passion fruit and butter sauce doesn't go well with sausage.

It's incredible. It's huge. It's stunning. It's amazing. It's mother nature at her best.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book a 3-day, 2-night cruise to access more secluded areas of the bay.
✓Don't skip the early morning excursions, even if it means waking up early.
✓Manage your expectations regarding food quality; it is edible and plentiful but not luxurious.
