Creator's Key Takeaways

What should have been a half hour ended up being an hour and a half boat ride full of these choppy seas.

We were finally approaching our final destination. And as we approached, you can see a bunch of different restaurants and huts and tour areas that you can go to.

There weren't quite as many starfish as I was expecting, and I think that's probably due to those ocean conditions and the type of surf we were having that day.

Overall, it was a great day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Apply high SPF sunscreen even on cloudy days.
✓Expect boat rides to take longer than scheduled due to ocean conditions.
✓Do not touch the starfish.
✓Bring cash for chair rentals ($5 per chair).

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting wet/soaked on the boat ride — Bring a towel or waterproof gear; the front of the boat is particularly exposed.
Motion sickness from choppy seas — Be prepared for a potentially rough and longer-than-expected boat ride.
