Paano makapaglibot

Renting a car is your best option.

The island is much larger than most visitors realize so having a car is recommended. there is a trolley near the hale that does a loop through town and back. We have a schedule for it in our welcome book.
Ang dapat iempake

Tshirts, shorts and Flip Flops, that's it!

Most visitors make the mistake of bringing to many items and we always hear that they wished they would of brought less. We recommended travel with your warmer items on the plane to here and your return home. Tshirts, board shorts, flip-flops, swim wear is all you need. If attend a luau then go out and have fun shopping for your luau wear.
