The port also features a highly organized taxi operation that can transport visitors to different beaches. The video highlights several ship excursions through Carnival, including an air-conditioned island tour, an open-air bus party called the ku-ku bus, and a visit to De Palm Island. Other unique activities mentioned include a submarine tour and a sea bob adventure. For those exploring independently, the creators discuss local shopping malls and various beach destinations such as Arashi, Palm, Eagle, and Baby Beach.
