Try zip-lining through rainforest canopies, snorkeling at coral reefs, or taking catamaran cruises. Island grill tours and dolphin encounters are also popular options for visitors.

Use local taxis, ride-sharing apps, or organized tour services. Many hotels offer shuttle services. Negotiate taxi fares beforehand since meters are uncommon in this area.

Stick to established tour operators and avoid displaying expensive items. Use hotel-arranged transportation at night. Be cautious of unofficial tour guides offering unsolicited services on the street.
