Creator's Key Takeaways

don't pay $60 a person for the Excursion I'm going to tell you the best way to get there and how to get back for way way less

the bus is just fine now when getting on the bus it's just customary there in good manners to greet everybody on the bus

be smart the beach is barely separated from the airport it's only separated by a two-lane road

I just did this last month for three of us including drinks and restroom breaks everything all in I was out of there in under $50
