Chris and Bec thank you so much this is such a great guide! Has everything I need. Perfect for what I was looking for in providing a little extra support in my initial itinerary. Definitely going to save money on moving between the islands. Those tips alone are worth it. Im basically going to go with the recommended itinerary as it seems perfect. Thanks again!
