Creator's Key Takeaways

If you book your excursions on the cruise ships, you're fine. They'll wait for you. But if you do it yourself, you're sort of so something happens. If you late getting back to the ship, you're screwed.

The entire reason it's here is a cruise ship stop. There is down the coast a little bit a small local town. I forgot the name of it. I think that's where an actual beach is, but as you can see, the beach here is just covered in seaweed.

Everything really is a full-blown American price. Just all little knickknacks 15 20 bucks. Hats $15 each. $15 t-shirts.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓If booking independent excursions, ensure you return to the ship on time as they will not wait for you.

✓Bring sunscreen, a sun hat, water, and bug spray for archaeological site visits.

✓Use bug spray to avoid being eaten alive by mosquitoes at the ruins.

Excursion timing — Booking through the cruise ship is safer because they will wait for you if you are late, whereas independent tours do not guarantee this.
