Travel Essentials

No guide is complete without the practicalities of island life. We’ve gathered the essentials you won’t find on a postcard: the reality of Wi-Fi connectivity, the locations of reliable ATMs (and why you should always carry backup cash), and how to navigate the local tricycle system without the ‘tourist tax.’ We also cover the vital health precautions regarding local water and where to find the best medical care should your adventure take an unexpected turn.
