Creator's Key Takeaways

So, we may stop here on the way back, but it's just shops and restaurants. Pick yourself up an ukulele.

We brought our snorkeling gear, but um Well, Janet, what happened? We forgot our bathing suits.

It ended up costing about $100 to do everything for two of us. So, it was all good.

But we had a fun day. Um the weather was perfect. Yeah. Well, hot and humid.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Rent a car through Costco Travel for cost-effective port exploration.

✓Bring snorkeling gear and bathing suits for beach activities.

✓Be prepared for uneven lava rock steps at Rainbow Falls lookout.
